It’s an employees market right now, It’s not all about money or relocation packages, it’s about quality of life, commute time, work life balance not just someone throwing some money at the problem.
This isn’t the ‘office view’ at all and I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion?
This is the view of drivers at other depots from what I have heard - and being a member of enthusiast Facebook groups as you proved recently, I’m sure you’ll have seen a few comments of this nature yourself.
It is harsh but depot closures are not new, and many drivers and engineering colleagues in the past have not been so fortunate with a re-location package and it has been forced upon them. It is clear that the business has reached this decision to reduce overheads, for cost avoidance, and to help protect jobs across the company in the long-term - by no means am I condoning it, and I agree it is an awful shame, but it is good to see that the company is doing more by its employees than they have in previous depot closures. Other colleagues who haven’t been so fortunate in the past may not feel the same way.
