Operationally the business is relatively lean.
There is hardly any fat at all.
The astute will notice that all of the cuts will fall again in operational areas, with the exception of 500 managers.
Strangely enough the administrative side of a business remains roughly constant in lean times and bloats when times are good. It is in part due to the fact the information flow is controlled through these "counting" areas. With Dixon lite floundering, he naturally will cut where he is advised, hence the penchant to cut the operational side of the business(the revenue generating side) and leave the floors of staff counting the beans untouched...
Which begs the question how many little empires will remain untouched, working the same hours, counting, graphing and analysing whilst those at the customer interface or involved in revenue generation will become fewer on the ground...
