Well that shows how little you really know of the current BACX situation..
quote "All the tools of Schedule C are available"...
that means Voluntary redundancy, Career breaks, Unpaid leave, Part-time working, etc etc.
That is why the company ARE offering voluntary redundancy... cos they said they would, and they know that the recent Business Plan has left them in a dire position (No-one envies CP's task in sorting out relocations, demotions, etc).
I'll publically apologise and admit I know much less than you if in 12 months time there has not been a turnover of at least the same as in the past 12 months (double the company's usual forecast turnover).
(Don't take it personally 4468, this is merely a statement of facts as currently exist)
