If they are good managers they will find another job so would have no effect on the economy, but your probably right.0 -

Could always try the other tact to see if Vinegartits is as intelligent as he/she says they are......pm me the name and I can see if I know them!
Mind you, it is probably just me wanting to be nosey.....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

However, you on the other hand cant prove that you were educated or dont work down at the Macd's and admit that is where you get your info from.:rotfl:
I suddenly cannot be bothered any more with you; the futility of arguing with a complete moron has just overwhelmed me.
Why are you here Pickles? Do you actually hope to achieve anything? I tried very hard to get on with you but you don't want that do you? You want conflict, to insult me, because I beat you on all possible levels you have to try to win with your lies, your pretences, your pathetic insults, your multiple identities and the garbage they spout.
I think my time would be better spent elsewhere so I am leaving you to it. This thread will stand as testament to who you REALLY are, should anyone care to look at it in the future.0 -

To employees of P of F.
due to economic.. blah.. some challenges.. blah.. enable us to move forward ... blah... future success... building for tomorrow... global drivers... knowledge based engineering.. blah.. positive indicators....
After several paragraphs of crap there may be a small note about restructuring and possible redundancies (mainly voluntary through early retirement).
Just my guess.0 -
As far as the hourly-paid are concerned, the Union will know doubt seek an assurance from the company that any redundancies will be on a voluntary basis. No doubt, if the package is right, they'll be no shortage of takers. As for middle managers, they'll have to hope their face fits. A lot of staff jobs have been filled by people who interview well and who talk the talk.
The one thing I think I know, there were no compulsory redundancies for the hourly paid in my 30 years.0 -

And mine!
I will also be up nice and bright (well maybe not so bright) in the morning, not only to see what news it brings but also as we have an Aussie Champs meeting running on my site.We made it!

Well it's morning here and no sign of an announcement.
