support for his comment that people are only in it for the pension.
Your comment is slightly out of context.
My point was that there may be many people out there, who may now view the Service in a different light than when they joined, and the pull of their pension may be the main reason for 'seeing out their time' in a Service that has changed, or doesn't seem to give them the support they desire .... and I accept that may be the case. What I object to is the line that the Service is giving them something which they value .... and by the way, enough to keep them in ... but somehow feel that it's right and proper to publicly whinge about how supposedly cr@p the Service is. I'd have respect for them if they just left and said "Thank You Very Much! I enjoyed my time, but it's time for the new blood!". But they want it all ways, which suits their circumstances and then criticise others who have a contrary view!
