No attitude. Just saying how it is. LIFO is History. The problem is with you. You don't like change. It really is that simple.
You remind me of the old age pensioners in Asda. They don't move out of the way either. What are they thinking? The same as you. That old chestnut of "I've been here longer than you". Seniority lists are dated and do not mean a thing. The more modern companies do not have them. Does that not say something to you?
I really really don't care if you have been with British Midland for 25 years. You are no better than anybody else. And guess what? The company doesn't care either. As far as the company is concerned everybody is of equal standing and those with a poor performance record will go. There is no debate on that score. The one and only argument is if the redundancies are carried out on a base by base basis or as a company as a whole.
