Why CX don't offer a "door qualifying" course for spouses is beyond me.
They have the facilities, the staff and (I'm sure) a massive list of possible participants, even if we had to pay. Just think beancounters - another "profit centre" for you! "Door qualified" spouses would allow use of the OFCR.
That would resolve this issue - if not completely, then substantially.
It would also go a long way to improving morale...
Ah, silly me. Why would they do anything half sensible or motivating?
