Unfortunately I suspect you are right in this case. It's also part of why I posted it. The cost of giving people a genuine farewell is not mandated by law so it is not required. But the message it sends in terms of treating people with dignity is, in the words of Mastercard, priceless.
Employee engagement at QF isn't great, we all know that. And whilst it would be bizarre to start changing that with how you handle a redundancy program it would actually demonstrate a very clear effort to heal the wounds.
