cpiom = wingers. The troll is using the same style of manufactured anger. First appeared about twelve hours after wingers signed off.

By the way,

Mr. Dixon is using "polly speak". What that phrase sounds like to the average man is:

"It would add $360 million to the Group wages billover the next three years

The annualised rate is about $120 million per year or perhaps a reduction in profits of ten percent, based on the current 1 to 1.4 billion per year figure. Not a lot really to keep your staff on side is it?

Then of course there is the question of the cost savings that could be generated by an engaged workforce, but of course anyone who has worked in maintenance knows that the marketer who brings in $100 million in new business gets rewarded, but the backroom guys who just saved the company $100 million never even get noticed.

Or, to put it another way, if you think training and experience are expensive, try ignorance instead.

But it's not really about money anyway, it's all about Mr. Dixon and his ego isn't it.
