You'll find verge - that the decision on re-structuring was taken at an Exec level in Chicago at the time - well above me.
As you would damn well know.
It was my role as Project Lead to provide the varying options available to streamline the business and provide best value add to the bottom line.
One of which was a move to India. I also offered up 3 other solutions.
I sleep soundly as I did the job instructed to me to do. I might add my role was redundant as a result in Australia.
Thats right, you do the job, as instructed and as far as you're concerned that makes you a good boy.
I wont do the job at all. My moral compass doesnt allow me to take orders which means thousands of people wont have a job, all the while taking a heafty pay packet myself.
What was your pay out again Andre, six months, 12 months for how many years with the company. The the lowly process worker, 12 weeks?
I think all in all we treated our Australian employees pretty well.
They received their contracted pay outs, notice period, leave, pro-rated LSL and offered them counselling and re-training.
I was treated just the same and was paid out my contractual obligations, my 3m notice and pro-rated LSL.
I didn't need the re-training etc because I took up a role in Canada.
My wife too is a stay at home verge - difference is we get no break at all like you do with family around to help you.
Hence why we need the childcare help.
