You couldn’t be more wrong, Don. Nobody is ‘bitching’ about former colleagues losing jobs, au contraire. Like Joker I have the greatest of sympathy for them,including good friends. The sycophancy on Linkedin mainly comes from outsiders and non crew. When I was @ EK I always thought that the juxtaposition between the externally perceived glamour versus the reality was extraordinary. However, even I could not have foreseen the depths which EK have sunk to in terms of dealing with redundancies. I also wish redundant crews the best of luck but there is no ‘denying the denial’ on LinkedIn where, like Voltaire’s Candide, ‘all is well in the best of worlds’. (Pseuds corner entry).
