Much as I don't like the thought of people losiong their jobs, I hate the fact NATS has been slack in cost control even more.
We have had redundancies, and Barron has just threatened more, yet this week the HR department managed to find employment for 4 people whose jobs had been closed due to cost cutting.
HR seems to be expanding whilst every other department shrinks.
The latest stupid idea... (this one will never hit the streets but it's an indication of how short sighted and stupid some people are).
NATS college students. If they fail a course but have been selected to get a second chance the new idea is to terminate their employment but give them a contract saying they will return to NATS in x months time to start the module again.
How many people are going to leave for 6 months, then give up the job they have found to return to college on the off chance that they will pass the module (and then the rest of the training) second time around? (This idea has been 'parked' as the saying goes, but it shows you how little some people know and understand).
