I was told so many good employees with a lot of knowledge took the last package just to get out and go to work for other companies that the company would never offer another early retirement package. We lost several very good employees at the time that took the last package offered. I recall people saying that it was not a great package but was enough to allow many employees still of working age the time to look for a better employer.
Exactly, @1ihy+1lHiyrO7. So many great people are no longer here. They went to other companies and the results of their absence are starting to be felt here more and more.
