I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

There will undoubtedly be a number, possibly large, that are being made redundant against their will. This will not be all compulsory redundees as I would guess some are looking forward to being 'pushed' as they would have gone anyway.

Some of the pissed off will continue to put in face time but show no willingness to work outside their job specs. Others will become downright bolshie and turn down offers of secondary duties such as audit boards etc.

I submit that these people are NOT the ones you need to worry about. You need to worry about those not getting out as they will have to carry the additional burden.

The bucket of water principle has long held sway in the RAF and much as you will not be missed when you have left, you will be resented immediately before you go. Manage the survivors; help those leaving if they need help.
