[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1008446, member: 22880"] From the numbers I got this afternoon, it is looking like they are going to dump at least 10, and upwards to 15% of the Memphoids. [I]It is curious that XS just happens to be the same proportion of overall Express volume...[/I] And these aren't going to be "early retirement" options - they are euphemistically calling them "buyouts", but are in fact targeted eliminations of employees. Layoffs in anyone elses dictionary. If one is occupying a "productive" position, they won't be offered ANY early retirement option. If one is in their early 30's and just happens to occupy a redundant position - away they go. There is no official word if those who are targeted will be offered the opportunity to bid on positions in operations (or heaven forbid, a wage position) - or if they will merely be handed a "take it or leave it" deal. The poetic irony to this all, is that some of the "engineers" that have been working to perfect DRA (enabling Express to eventually dump career Couriers), will be in front of the guillotine themselves. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Dano... [/QUOTE]
