Well, there it is folks, yesterday, in the Australian, 1000 staff members. The Great Qantas Staff hunt is now on, open season has begun. This is the time The Grim Reaper strikes. No good hiding in cupboards, up APUs, or in the canteen, the snivelling little bastards they hire to find you and give you your matching orders, can sniff out a cowering staffie from 100ft. Never mind you have a car loan, rent, three kids, and have been totally loyal for whatever years, YOU are redundant. You are probably experienced, hard working, and given the company 101% and probably a very decent human being, tough! However if you are a first class B%#ch, and a dobber, or a miserable ar#@h#le who has the ability to look like you know what you are doing (but doesn't) you are probably safe. (This present bit of info is gleaned from QF's past sackings) so the rest of us are sorry for you, and hope things work out in the future, and we also appreciate what you did, to keep QF going in spite of the Ar#eholes who tried to destroy it, we wish you well.
