The NewLayoff

People leaving. Management no care. Young people going leave old people do job and more with no pay raise. No future no money. Is company for sale? Does Blake know?

Ageing workforce

Too many good workers are planning on leaving very soon, once the industry picks up. Too many old men in retirement jobs stopping good talented men from moving on. It’s these good men who are DQ’s back bone, lose them and DQ will struggle.
