I think I’ve missed something Holden? What do you see in the title?

sepi – that’s exactly what happens, they do a round of cuts, the work stops because the people left, they realise the work actually needed to be done, so to make the pots of money still look they raid a different pot (typically the contractors pot) and bring the same people back (because they are the most experienced). I’ve seen this happen in many different orgs, still getting a $70K payout, a months holiday and then back on contractors rates would be alright.

That’s how it always works.

Top down commandments won’t change the dynamic of these organisations.

A friend got a 70- grand payout to leave her job (package).

She came back 4 weeks later as a contractor.
