I left for a few years and came back :crazy: you don't keep your seniority.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

He's lucky! Duties for signing? 5 people have left/retired in my DO over the last year and their duties are all part time now.

All ours are to be absorbed when the 4 who are going to retire this year go.Not even a whiff of a part-timer getting the duty(s)
