Few weeks ago’ a EK friend (not former CX, EK is his first civvy job) was in town and he loved it, he will start bidding for HK. Also told me a few not very nice stories about EK. So it is all about perspective and options.
By the way I applied myself to EK in anger but I am too old for them !
I never had an issue on the FD either, but the endless (justified) toxicity created a far worse environment than it should/could have been.
first civvy job? That says it all really. No disrespect to him, but you don’t know what you don’t know.
SOPS, I got all of the leave I requested. Kept some back for live leave. I won’t bank on anything, after banking on not getting a 40% pay cut and many other benefits taken away.
