Austin Reid is already laying the ground work by saying last week profits have been hit etc etc. Do not expect glad tidings, what ever management want the numbers to reflect the accountants will . .oblige. Graham Ross, General Manager at regional and on the bmi board, has already stated 3 weeks ago that the company overreacted and its not been the doom and gloom predicted. However since Sept 11 is a good excuse for a clear out and a reason to screw the staff don't expect any favours and for those who have had the bat shoved up their . .a**e, expect it to remain. This is one company who do not respect their employees. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" />
