The PVR mob clearly do not want to wait around to be told to go and are taking their own initiative.
That's right. PVR instead of redundancy. Especially when redundancy only offers an extra £50k odd to go
MGD is quite correct in his assessment; of all the PVRees that I know none featured in any of the groups eligible for redundancy. Still, their master plan seems to be working - clearing out all of us crusty old PAS types who sit around all day knowing what we're on about.
