I agree, the good will tank is empty and many of the things on my list would be the final straw for some.
However I refer the honourable gentleman to the second and third order effects I noted in point 9 - if they can force people out early enough it becomes a lot cheaper regarding numbers climbing up the pay scale and future pension liabilities. I would be surprised if that sort of Machiavellian thinking hadn't at least been considered by the Bean Counters already.
