- No warning for starters. People simply receiving Emails to go in for 'meetings' the very next day.
- Then no consideration was given to alternative cost-saving measures such as unpaid leave or furloughs.
- No consideration given for rank, position or seniority (people really do appear to have been selected randomly).
- No apparent consideration for performance (people with commendations, no sick records and no disciplinaries have been fired).
- And to top it all off...STILL no word from ANY of the management regarding the redundancies.
Hmmm...Should someone do a welfare check on the Management? They haven't been seen or heard from for over a week now....
Are people on leave without pay from another airline still employed while full timers were sacked?
Imagine how the out come could have different if management communicated with and worked with the workforce to find a solution.
Opportunity missed.
