last year i worked for a small employer who made it known that if i go they will find some other way to make me loose my job. (their words were who is more important us or the navy, make the choice!! hence i am not there) 8O Small companies dont care, the papers dont care, the navy does not care. We go off do the job and are expendable. RFA, there are always ways round that!
I have a friend who is an HR manager for a national company, who told me that if they had the choice of an employee who is in the TA/RNR over someone who is not they will always choose the latter, so you wonder why so many people now do not disclose to their employers that they are in the RNR. I know in my branch that "only those been deployed or volunteered" were promoted.
Career prospects in own job as member of rnr: - slim. In RNR even more slim as not been away yet.
Own job outwith RNR - better
And we still do this job for the RN with very little appreciation
I must be mad where is Roger the cabin boy.....
