I am tipping that they will be gravely understaffed as you take more leave than normal. This will drive large amounts of overtime and for those who think it is appropriate to retain leave as some sort of retirement booster why not just work some extra hours and put the money in the bank.
Wasn't this being stated earlier? Those who wanted to do O/T were being shot down for costing people their jobs. Now it's OK to do O/T, because there is no REAL positive outcome, other than a deferral of the inevitable.
Have to agree with you there QF94.. I'm a little perplexed about this myself..


Now we'll be forced to take leave when it's not really necessary, and an amount the company wants us to take to write off their books.
I was thinking the same thing..

If this is a win for the engineers, then it is a hollow one.
So hollow the echoes are still reverberating.. Whilst Nasty Stain and his cohorts are still running the show I don't see how we can move forward and rebuild the business..
