I PVR'D I was never asked why I was going, the person in psf simply showed me the amount of files that were related to the same thing. I was leaving to go to a job where they pay me more, give me a chance of achieving somthing with my career and treat me like an adult. I even got a glowing final assesment saying I had outlined my intentions and followed them through. I was out in 28 days. Finished the friday and started the new job on the monday.
As for employing the best people out there, I would not employ half the people I used to work with. They just spent a million pounds on the computer for our office. They encourage people who want to progress and have ideas about the future, and I am not towing the corporate line. But just because you were in the military, does not give you the right to anything special.
