conditions of a buy down

Post by jimmimac »

due to the wife getting a big wage rise :shock: I'm in a position to take a buy down of my hours, however I've been told if you leave Planet Royal Fail within two years you have to return all or part of the money (bribe) that you recieve. Is this correct?
Any info. would be helpful.

I'm near enough sure that yes you have to give at least some of it back,also BEWARE!!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
