GSS morale misery
As I've already stated I'm sure the secondee arrangement was considered a deal sweetener when the BAWC/GSS operation was inaugurated, with BAWC being the only customer and GSS feeling pressure to accept it. However, several contract renewals later and with GSS just celebrating their 10 year anniversary I would have thought there should have been some way of ridding themselves of the secondee issue by removing it from the contract. However, relying on a single customer in a business that is in a downturn then they're probably leaning over a barrel.
