Having just been reading the DIB on NEM I am more and more convinced that I would not join up now. Any document that uses phrasiology such as:
'The NEM is not a cost cutting exercise, it is about delivering improved value for money within the same resource envelope.'
merely demonstrates the depths so which the organisation that releases it has sunk to. Trying to cut through the guff the NEM seems to say that:
1. You will pay more for your accomodation, if you can get it.
2. You will be paid more if you are Executive Stream (look out for 2nd class service from 2nd class employees)
3. You will be told you are being given stability for wifes career and childrens education, and the loss of allowances that compensate, but we won't guarantee that we won't move you anyway.
