A practice that the RAF never adopted not realising the malignant influence that resulted.which was one reason that it became the practice to escort employees off the premises and require them to serve their notice in absentia.
When people applied for redundancy in the 70s they expected to be able to leave almost immediately. Many lined up jobs only to be given departure dated at least 18 months in the future and up to 3 years. If that was not enough to piss people off many aircrew were grounded so that they didn't steal flying hours from 'loyal ' aircrew who were not leaving.
The same 'punishment ' was metted out to pilots in later years ago had the temerity to PVR. They would be immediately posted often to Ops or Simulator jobs in roles or aircraft with which they were not familiar. Many became strict work to rule with the initiative switch wife locked OFF. They would turn up on time and stop work on time. All the time spreading resentment and discontent.
Did they RAF eventually learn? I know I left my last job having cleaned my computers.
