I hear that those that get laid off next week won't be walked out right away like in past ACTs, but instead will be "allowed to stay till Nov 15th". Wtf does that mean? Who is going to want to work once laid off? The best case scenario is that they just don't show up for a month and then leave. I would be more worried about "disgruntled ex-employee incidents"...
Pat and the ELT don't have any idea how to do this. Don't have the respect nor the ba--s to get it over with quickly and move on.
