Well, Hinecap,
The mess I was involved in is nothing compared to the mincing many guys are subject to, whilst getting into Cranditz. Many have to wait more than the 8 months I did, being moved from one IOT to the next.
However I assume you would think it's not too bad if you weren't paid for the next 8 months (£14,000 for a P/O), lost that seniority, and got posted to a supermarket to work as a cashier before recommencing duties. Do you work in DIOT admin by any chance?
Because it's all rosy with the setup at OASC/IOT.
