WOULD YOU JOIN UP NOW
Being in for only 4 years as of april next year i have noticed quiet alot of changes since leaving my trade training units. Most of the benefits i were entitled to have been withdrawn (GYHEY, free rail/air warrants etc), conpared to what i experienced in my first two years the cameraderie and team spirit that existed in my bay has almost dissapeared, changes to my pension meaning i wont get it untill 65 once ive done 22 years instead of instant payout,more pressure to get the job done on time with lack of manpower, promotion being a case of whos backside you kiss and not how good you are at the job and feeling like your constantly going against the grain. I enjoy my job but on hindsight would i do it all again? Id have to think very carefully. Afterall if i hadnt joined i would never have met my fiance, had my child and made some great friends. all whilst earning a decent wage and having a trade under my belt.
