How, in this time when we are seeing extreme cost cutting, does the business justify sending UK or US employees on expat assignments? Are you seriously telling me that there is no one in the region equally qualified?

Anyone any wiser after today’s VERY late scheduled townhall despite it being in LT calendars for months? Pushing TSI as the answer to all our problems, with an example from the North Sea P&O folks that has already failed?! It’s laughable, especially... — read more

Can someone summarise the important things from the webcast? Any new changes coming in the wfh policy?

This is an interesting move and doesn’t seem to fit under technology unless a bigger decision is coming… perhaps moving more of this to low cost centres.

Along with monitoring of 60/40 office attendance. I wonder how this will work out?

I sold all my reinvent shares immediately when they vested to avoid the 20% loss!
