Notice period?
I was wondering what notice I have to give. I've been with RM for just under 23 years on a permanent contract. Someone told me it's one week and then another told me it's 2.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

23 years? That will teach me for posting from a phone. Should have said just under 3 years! But thanks Janitor, 1 week suits me fine.

Re: Notice period?
What you probably meant Arty is that it feels like 23 years. Good luck in whatever you are going to be doing next.

To be fair they may have misheard the notice period they have to give IIRC is roughly 1 week per year up to a certain limit I am not sure of.
