They came into the service for the same reason I came in, to contribute to society and to make a genuine difference. It makes me wonder what changed them and where have these values gone.

It's your attitudes and roll over with yr belly up actions that have got us here in the first place. This situation has been in sight for years but so many probation staff were busy bees making comfy nests for themselves that they couldn't even contemplate the future. It's amazing that some people continue to do this under an illusion they will retain a job if they shut up and put up. They do not want probation staff... End of. Fight for your rights!! At this stage it's all there is nothing elseleft to do. Support your union and do not even suggest someone like me roll over like the weak person you clearly are.
