I need a transfer!

Post by Glen Waker »

I'm looking for a transfer to Chesire/Merseyside/North Wales to be with my family. Is anybody out there that would be interested in a straight swap? I have worked at Poplar Docklands in London for 10 years and I'm on a 40 hour contract. I feel a move to London may appeal to a young person. I have exhausted the new online transfer system and have wrote to various doms of offices, with only a 25 hour contract being offered. Please pass this opportunity on to anybody that may be interested.

Hello mate, I did actually send a letter and poster to the manager at Chester. There was 25 hour contracts going, but it's not really enough. My family live in Neston so Chester would be great. I would be so greatful if you could pass the word around, many thanks indeed!!

I spoke to my dom regarding the matter and he said it was down to the managers discretion. There's no reason that they can stop two employes swapping.

"and I'm on a 40 hour contract" - not 39 hours ? :shock:
