Too late and too tired to check but…iirc the contract you sign when you start signalling school, on day one, mentiones the 12 month commitment. I’ll check tomorrow. Whilst it may not be legally binding I would caution against upsetting people on your way up/around as those very peoples paths you cross you may have to cross again.
Yes. If it says 60 then as you say, that is what is is. If you want the job state that you’ll relocate. But be warned, fatigue management is a hot potato. Likewise I was from an industry where fatigue management was hot hot hot. My personal advice is if it’s 12 hour shifts bunk as close as you can, 8 hour shifts not much further away. You’ll be better rested and safer, not to mention a better work:life balance.
Yet another reply where I wish I could add an emoji. Well said.
Ahhhh. Repent at leisure and all that. Should have said yes dear chap and given yourself time to reappraise the implied offer. Saying yes would have unlocked the door for you, leaving you the option to either open or close it.
