To those of you who successfully returned back what was the process? I have heard mixed things.
For some who are returning to CX as DEFO or DEC it was a 30 min teams interview and offered a position/start on spot. Others it was a 30 minute teams interview with a follow up in two weeks and a trip to HK to do a medical etc.
Those of you who rejoined CX please share your experiences.
You have to start with such great lines as:
We couldn't survive back on the beach at Sunshine Coast without a helper
Driving is so scary back in (add in any western city) , thankfully there's the bus and taxi in Hong Kong, only an hour to get anywhere on the bus
I wanted to get a job as a DEC at Air NZ, QF, BA but I couldn't, it's confusing
The taxes, oh the taxes, I want to live somewhere where I have all the things the taxes pay for, but pay no tax to support them
I'm bored back home, have nothing to do, need a 110 hrs a month roster to have a life
I hate mowing the lawn, apt living is way better
Luckily ARAPA is gone, way better getting 30% of the old scheme in cash
No one earns more that $10k a month as a Senior CN anywhere else, I've read current legacy carrier contracts
I really don't care where you go to be happy at work but the delusion that CX in 2024 is better than it's ever been could come down a notch.
