Sorry Norman
It is hugely regrettable that you have been used as a cipher to disseminate eJ corporate dogma on a public site. If you truly have inside information from a central eJ source then you ethically should have offered it to responsible individuals affected by these decisions in confidence. Giving it out on a public site for the benefit of the media, other operators, Goldmember and the **** who thinks that membership of the Moonies or the Taleban is a preferable alternative to membership of a professional association is a bit much.
Yes, I actually do totally agree with you that business is business and I hold some respect for the Gordon Geckos of this world but post credit crunch not one small base has been given the opportunity to discuss special measures to protect the employment stability of their location.
