if they sacking 500 how many do they have left??!!
if qantas has say 34000 employees thats around 1 manager per 58 people.
If they doing away with a quarter of them ( wild guess for illustrative purposes) thats what I would say is over managed.
Love to know if the percentage of management being punted.
Whilst I dont have sympathy for some of the actions of some over the dixon years many of these people have families too. Losing your job is a pretty awful experience.
