So what's this thing I had to sign when I (briefly) joined BA? Oh, it says "Contract of Employment". A copy of which I publicly tore up in front of my manager when I walked out a few years ago.
It wasn't worth the paper it was written on though.
When I left the RAF they were offering "get out of jail free cards" and as I had a mate who had a mate who wanted to employ me, I Walked into PSF on a Monday with a job offer in my hand, walked out with my clearance docs, spent the week getting them signed (and returned my bike to the Guardroom) and left the RAF on the Friday. I stated my job on the following Monday and haven't looked back since!
The grass can be greener but it can also be bl**dy hard work. Good luck in whatever you do.
May all your landings be safe ones!
