You have my sympathy if point 1 is happening.
With regard to the rest, I was at the college ten years ago and would have loved to get a posting to MACC at whatever the cost - at the end of the day we are and always will be a mobile grade.
I took my posting to LATCC as an extra chance to validate, if I failed hopefully I would have been posted to MACC. Now that you are moving to NPC I think I am glad I am where I am, but at the end of the day I have missed out on all my friends and family for 10 years not being round the corner as they would have been - I grew up in Heald Green.
You have had 10 years living in a fantastic area of the world and now need to move on to what I am sure will be as good a location as SwanWick. Banging on constantly about not wanting to go will hardly endear you to your new colleagues.
MOBILE GRADE - it will have been in the original job description!!
- BAND 4 - £15k/yr pay cut. - DUE TO BE ADDRESSED AFTER UNION MOTION
- AAVA - less per day - DON'T DO THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
- CENTRE - no gym/ sports hall! - HAVE YOU EATEN IN OUR CANTEEN?
- LOCATION - nice loooooooong walk from car park to work. - HOUSE PRICES?
- STAFFING - always short. - DITTO
- LEAVE - always a tight one. - YOU THINK WE CAN HAVE WHAT WE WANT?
- EQUIPMENT - Outdated. - THANK YOURSELF LUCKY YOU AVOID iFACTS
- PROSPECTS - NPC - WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT?
