Re: 8 walks and 7 people
With the current staff shortages, people leaving and the inability to attract new employees I think by the time the new ODM is in there will be no requirement for any job cuts.

Re: 8 walks and 7 people
And VR will only happen where there is surplus staff so not in any office that I know of

Re: 8 walks and 7 people
JFC. First it was 3-on-4, then it was 11-on-12, now 7-on-8. I feel like I'm in doing fractions in double period Monday morning maths again.
Same as the announcement of 10,000 job losses in October 2022 and the following VR preference exercise. Everyone clamoured to apply and seemingly no-one got it because 20,000 quit of their own accord in the same time period. Considering all the regulatory fines in each year since, the company should really stop turning the screw so carelessly.funkflex55 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2025, 18:29With the current staff shortages, people leaving and the inability to attract new employees I think by the time the new ODM is in there will be no requirement for any job cuts.
The machine stops.

Re: 8 walks and 7 people
I doubt it's going to be something as simple as chopping 8 into 7 for instance.
I could pick 4 duties in ours and maybe another 7.
The 4 duties take longer (in man hours) to deliver than the 7.
Easily 2 hours difference from one to the next.
