The shortage of work is only the manufacturing side, there are 4 people doing the admin and we are thinly stretched to say the least. However to avoid a "them and us" type divide, everyone dropped a day, even the assistant MD. It has been said that if there are to be redundancies it would only be in the factory, as we wouldn't be able to manage with less admin staff.0

The reason why the employer is behaving in this way goes something like this. There are 19 workers, and they plan to make 25% of them redundant later this year. But they can't get a nice round figure to get 25% out of 19, so they hire Jodt2303 to make 20. Then, later this year, they will make 5 of them redundant.
That's British management at its finest.
Nice realistic phraseThe harder one works the luckier one gets!0
