PVR Rates etc
Not sure if £100k is wishing thinking or not, but the Service needs to retain experience somehow.
Looking at the other posts, it seems everyone has a similar story to tell - supposedly 25% gapped posts in my branch at my rank level. No sniff (make that sob!) of extra pay though. And frankly, I'm not sure even £100k would make a difference for me - the emperor does not appear to be wearing many clothes and I'd find it difficult to imagine him fully clothed again!
I do wonder though if PVR tells the whole story? Personally, I think people are leaving in droves, but perhaps that's because:
a. I've become as cynical as Victor Meldrew in my old age.
b. As you approach option/pension points you become more aware of other people leaving - bit like how many red cars you see as soon as you've bought one.
Many people I speak to stay in for the (very good) pension: it would be interesting therefore to see a comparison of how many people are now exercising option points compared to historical 'norms' in addition to PVR rates. Strange that stat is never on the circulars. Told you I was cynical!
