Okay – let me explain again because clearly it’s a very difficult concept to understand.
The ‘surplus staff’ situation is not the same as staff being made redundant. It is the same as military personnel being put on holdover between postings due to their current post being scrapped or changed. This happens because the civilian side doesn’t have career managers to post staff to and they need to find their own jobs.
How many times do I have to explain that this is nothing to do with making staff redundant?
There have been no compulsory redundancies due to so many staff volunteering to be made redundant.
