Given that they're going to ask for voluntary redundancies (ahead of non-voluntary redundancies!), who would go for it? What's your price - because you can bet your bottom dollar they've learned the lesson from 'Options for Change'...

I think this little gem tells you your price!

If this was an option, who is going to pay for it?

Not my personal experience, but my father in law was very glad indeed that he chose to leave in the first tranche of Options For Change - as a good but not outstanding Lt Col had he left later he would have struggled to standout from a larger crowd of ex-officers, and to subsequently develop a very successful civilian career.

Options was a fair while ago, but I'd be suprised if the same doesn't hold true today - times are tough in the outside job market.

Could you just sum that lot up in 1 sentence!

In sum, not a lot. Something along the lines of 3 to 6 months salary if I have been correctly led to believe.

Any DM(A) type people in the forum knocked up a redundancy calculator akin to the Pension Calc? That would be useful.

I am led to believe the drop will come from natural wastage, i think the redundancy will be confined to the higher end of the AB.

Given your acurate prediction that this would occur, I don't suppose you would like to predict which groups will be the subject for the "targeted redundancy"?
