This is all so f.....g unnecessary. The company needs them, they need the company. What in the hell is going on?
Like many on extended OZ bases, the best outcome is to return to HKG and do some time before pulling stumps. Strangely CX is a HKG company and we all knew what we were signing up for...however flawed.
There has to be a two-way split in all this.
If the company wants to get rid of guys on a base at 55 then just close the bloody base.
A Sydney "big-base" would work better anyway.
But let's be practical folks, fighting minor battles on the perimeter does nothing to protect or enhance the core.
FWIW
