      That’s probably the idea.

      Get rid of a load of staff, cut costs, boost profits in the extreme short term.

        The problem with doing it this way is that the first people out are the best engineers that can quickly and easily get another job.

        Ah but of course, short term gains are clearly better when management can golden parachute away before the consequences arrive…

          Ah, but they’re also the best paid.

          Double savings.
