I posted this in another thread. 1000 staff, equating to 20% are to be axed.
1000 is 20% of 5000. Therefore, there are 5000 staff in "management, support and administration" positions.
QF employs 38,000. 38,000 - 5000 = 33,000 people in non "management, support and administration" positions.
33000:5000 = 6.6:1
Therefore, there is currently 1 manager/suport/admin member of staff member for every 6.6 productive employees.
Top heavy? Bloated....
ABSOLUTELY!
