Oh no poor Mrs Nick - very worrying times
As you know we are in the same process- there has been a very supportive message sent to managers this morning asking them to speak to their teams and convey the following message:-
Over the next couple of years the council needs to save around £30million to adjust to the new economic climate....as part of this we need to be honest and say that up to 400 colleagues will be leaving the council. There will be compulsory redundancies. The majority of these will be where there are comparitively low levels of performance or our priorities have changed. Some very tough choices will need to be made and prolonging the status quo just isn't an optionShall I do that before or after lunch
