Sorry, not meaning to inflame anything. I just wanted to point out that saying "it's normal business practice, and to be expected given the economic climate" doesn't really excuse it as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe I'll turn it around and put it another way: I'm glad I work for a well run company, with excellent senior management who saw the financial crisis coming and tightened their belts early. Now, despite the downturn, it's unlikely we're going to have to make any layoffs (and, in fact, we've been able to make a big christmas donation to a couple of local children's hospitals). My best wishes go out to those who aren't so fortunate.
And yet another word from our sponsors
