bring on the VR?????
The only was to get rid of dead wood and time-servers is to be ruthless, go for the jugular and simply get rid of all non-performers. From my experience, voluntary separation allows bright people get an undeserved handout and shoot through to another well paid job, or even return as contractors or highly paid executives (as many ex Australian Airlines TN staff manged to do). Poor performers etc. will not easily find employment elsewhere and so plod along and hold an organisation back. For once, Qantas must go straight to compulsory redundancies if it is to work and do smarter with less.
