Someone rang for me?
I think the extra cuts are inevitable as we downsize through closure of Germany (we have nearly 10,000 locally employed civil servants overseas still) and move smaller estates into larger sites.
The problem isn't so much the loss of 'non jobs', which while perhaps not as prevalent as Not a boffin suggests, are still there. The problem is the growing loss of the final 'cold war era' types, many of whom have decades of experience and are approaching retirement age. They will take a lot of experience and memory with them (most notably where the bodies, files and expenses claims are buried) and we won't be replacing them.
Expect to see mass gapping across the piste as the loss of 33% of the CS manpower kicks in, resulting in more work for the forces, more gash duties and making life that little bit less fun. People always forget that much of the work thats done won't go away, just because you downsize the CS...
