From RAF's pov why bother with one now? Just the mere mention of jam tomorrow has kept people in for free for at least 12 months now.

Haven't you heard, instead of an FRI we can now wear PCS as a 'utility dress' and have a shiny stable belt issued. That'll keep them from PVRing...

I filled out the AFCAS today and the only positives I could give for reasons to stay was the job security and pension, and the pensions nearly in the bag...

It depends on where and what you do.
Here in Sheffield at a door manufacturing factory, they have just issued letters to the whole workforce explaining that they intend to make 70% (300ish people) of the workforce redundant by the end of January.
The only growing industry around these parts is glaziers fitting windows in asylum hotels.

Glad its working for you. Its bloody toxic at my place at the moment. I had to tell my team yesterday that they were being disbanded as of 1 Oct and all being moved to other teams. For context, my team was the highest performing (both output per head and morale via the annual people survey), lowest discipline, lowest absenteeism and the one team that volunteered to take on additional roles. Instead of telling other areas to up their game, they have dumbed down to the lowest common denominator to protect weak managers who cant get a tune out of their staff and dont like the idea of justifying their decisions.
30 people were devastated yesterday. Not a single member of our leadership team made an offer to come and support me when I broke the news, nor did any of them contact us afterwards to see how we were feeling.

Rumours flying around our place that it’s been binned off and senior mgmt looking at ways to best disseminate and mitigate against mass exodus
Interesting, you may recall we messaged about some vacancies at your locat in 2022 but a shader deployment stopped me applying. in the end I went a different route and it's working out pretty well thus far!
We're on a massive hiring drive - anyone wanted engineering work get in touch!
Any decent motivated service leaver shouldn't struggle to find work in this climate.
Free socks?

I attended a reunion of sorts last week with many of us being reunited for the first time in over twenty years.
Considering the service environment we were once lumped together in, it was quite pleasing to hear the success stories of people's post RAF careers and even more so, the diversity of second careers that people have achieved.
We put it down to one thing.
In most cases, the service leaver can be ar$ed to get out of bed in the morning and actually do things with their lives.

There are loads of jobs out there. You have to get on your bike to do them mind. Since leaving the RAF 16 years ago, I must have spent half that time working away from home commuting and living away.

Indeed. There are numerous times when we've come to the end of a discussion, and I've asked "so, what was the action from that and who is taking it forward", only to see tumbleweed blow through. Ive stopped going to most meetings and dont even send a deputy. I just ask for the actions to be messaged to me - I rarely get any messages.

First rule of emails, they’re just emails, if they’re important to you or your boss then action them, if not the sender will chase up the ones that need an action, and if you think you can rely on ‘I sent an email’ as justification for doing something, you might want to try ‘My dog ate it’ next time.
If your job requires you to spend all day responding to emails, and you don’t like it, change job.
I attend quite a few meetings that start to drift or go down unimportant rabbit holes, two quick questions can sort things out, what is the purpose of this meeting and what is the expected output, it is one of the things the military gets right with its agendas and worthwhile minutes.

The FRI is dead, they just wont announce it and will blame it on the treasury.
The truth is that we've all just had a 6% uplift in pay, then the government have called for in-house spending reduction. The FRI was to come internally from the RAF budget, and that likely is now gone...
Long live the FRI...
