So the COM announces VR will be available for some. Around 1 in 8 duties in our office. I think his door will be knocked off its hinges with the stampede!

Maybe so, but nothing to lose by applying.

34 years here and it feels like I’m about to open my Xmas presents as a kid again. Maybe the bubble will burst but who cares

We've had preference exercises a number of times over the years and nothing ever comes of it.

With the amount of vacancies and people leaving, VR will be a long way down the road, if at all.
I would guess that there is currently more chance of getting the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Apparently they're losing a millions pounds a day, that makes it sound as if they are not going to throw mega thousands at VR's?

COM is the manager
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I understand that the same message went out to all the COMS in our sector. The reason being that we are overstaffed for the future plans.
We have 6 vacancies, no one stays longer than a month.
Do I think VR will happen....doubtful! But if it does my name will be on the list.
Everyone needs a dream.
