There is fundamental mathematical problem that seems to be being missed by the bouncy castle.
It takes 3 months to complete the resignation process, assuming you are not owed any leave etc, less if you are.
It takes AT LEAST 9 months to get a new joiner on line, 3 months notice at their old employer and a minimum of 6 months to get on line here, especially bearing in mind there are not enough trainers so newbies are being sent on forced leave etc etc.
The situation behind the drag curve will only get worse as more senior guys throw in the towel as there is simply not the capacity in the system to process the numbers needed.
And yet the beatings continue.......................... I guess it'a a special skill to mismanage so completely?
