How very true HS.
Sadly our management don't seem able to differentiate between groups of staff who are professional, productive and bench-marked (and who would be highly motivated if they were treated as such) and others who are unprofessional, less productive and paid way above the market rate for the job they are doing.
I guess they just don't care where the savings come from so they pick the easiest groups to target.
Thank goodness the 'enough is enough' mentality has finally taken root amongst nigeldom at large. It is way overdue IMHO.
