Retention
PN,
I agree that the constant replacement of our values & ethos with civilian trivia and David Brent-esque management doesn't half chip away at morale, and that for many the new pension is the last straw. But I have to ask if people are leaving because if the pension, is it not a case of frying pan to fire? Would a civvie pension scheme be any better?
It might just be me being lucky - I certainly don't enjoy the mountain of trivia and admin that makes up most of my working day, but the pension still seems to be reasonable all things considered. But as I say, I might be lucky. My 16/38 point is before the transition and will be on mid-level sqn ldr pay as my 'starting' salary for the new scheme. I think I'm one of the few who might if not benefit, might not actually be any worse off. Whilst there are plenty of push factors, the pull factors aren't yet quite strong enough to make me pull the Y&B
