If it's so simple why are QF management not making the case more eloquently to the doubting employees?

There are so many simple, yet unanswered, questions about true costings, cost-shifting, costs of multiple/duplicated management structures & AOCs, cloudy accounting etc; the ALAEA list comes to mind.

There has been so much part-truth, double standards and misleading spin from the "head shed" that no one believes anything they say anymore; any talk has never been the whole truth under the current "leadership". (term used advisedly)

So your explanations may contain part-truth but overwhelming cynicism remains. Who in QF sets the tone? Who can 'clear the air'?

A bit of openness and honesty would go a long way towards giving some traction to the points you're trying to make; if employees could believe, they could help far more effectively than the current managerial "trust us" approach.

OTOH, this discussion has been going on since well before the grounding and management haven't chosen to bring the employees along with any kind of respect. Resources, in these desperate times, spent on scrolls, 'moving on' and engagement courses are largely viewed as expensive coolaid for the masses as management still go about the gardening with an ideological wheelbarrow and a sledge hammer. The almost incontrovertible conclusion is that this management cannot solve the problems.

Condescension is another thing management are good at too, but it doesn't win hearts or minds!
