Curious, if things are going to pick up in a year or two, why would there be a 2 yr transitional contract hoping to retain those previously on more expensive contracts. If the company wanted to get rid of more people now, shouldn't they reduce the term to 1 yr transition or a more lucrative retirement package? Isn't a given some of them who are near to retirement would exit after 2 years of decent housing and schooling?
And I truly believe things are going to pick up once borders open. Did anyone watch the videos of the flood local tourists on mainland mountains? And the number of HKers who love going to Japan and Taiwan 6x a year.
Edited: to add on, do you remember how hard is it to catch a flight back and forth Australia, London, Japan, Taiwan just last year? Skiing season you will see at least 30 IDs trying to get a flight to Japan. And for people who think travel will be different permanently after covid, how else do they travel? By ship? I'm optimistic.
