Both go in together pretty standard practise.

Would someone been offered VR who is top of senority list for the newly joined office , (but around 20th in full list , the duty been removed is from new office ) been offered VR be classed as executive action and can this be challenged, sorry if not very clear.

It depends whether the budgets of the two offices have merged. There are two different scenarios for D. O. mergers, sometimes two become one and their budgets and seniority are merged and sometimes it is simply two offices sharing the same premises with separate budgets and lists.

That's interesting Woody.

We may follow the Amalgamation Route in the near future. It was muted a few years ago, but didn't happen. I believe it's being looked at again.

As the seperate Delivery offices dealt with seperate Post Code Areas we were just going to be "Sharing" the building. Your point is intersting in that a lot of the "Old & Bold" in my DO were a bit worried that they might get overtaken in the Seniority List, and lose their Cushy Duties in a Re-Sign

I was more concerned that we might get their DOM, who is an Incompetent, Bullying, Work Shy, Lazy Bastard (just my opinion).

Hopefully, IF it does happen now we'll try and keep the two DOs seperate.
