Ok, so we are getting all the good vibes at work that our post is probably going to go civvy. Obvoiusly can't get a straight answer just keep getting told all options are being looked at.
Now as a 2nd line bay worker in a role that does not deploy etc, I can see it makes sense, I don't agree with it however but lean, budget cuts and "front line first" I can see it happening. Add to that the big wig who recently visited and said times are going to get harder and come the SDR we are going to be a uniformed force of 30K, my pension says its going to happen.
Now call me suspicious, but we have had both BAE and Westlands sniffing around and Serco are due a visit. Me, another CT and a SGT reckon we could do the job, better and cheaper. We actually enjoy the job but none of us can see a future in the mob. We all live locally and have kids in local school so dont actually want to move.
If we put our brains together a bit of capital and got a proper business plan we could do it. Who then do we have to convince and present a bid to?
Has anyone else done it, or got any pointers or do we just sit back and watch Waster Space fleece the mob and make an uncommited mess of it all?
Appreciate any serious advice.
