Sometimes a company needs to invest in new areas and needs to free up cash to do so. Payroll is one of the few guaranteed areas to quickly affect cash flow. Sometimes it’s about health of a business not just about profits.For instance I went through redundancy last year and am now doing two people’s jobs. But I’m managing it ok so obviously it wasn’t two peoples jobs. It was one person’s job spread inefficiently across two people. We also now actually have some capital investment now in our equipment so instead of my team having to work with crap equipment in a crap working environment we have actually had some money spent on the team we do have.The folks that have left, need to move on. Not be posting on the cesspit that is X.</blockquote>
