Because of the employment laws this Country has you can't just get rid of someone even if they are on a contract. If you have something like 1 or 2 (i think 2) years continuous employment you have to be offered redundancy. Strange i know but people on contracts almost have the same rights as someone in a permanent job.
I think strictly you only have to be given one week for every year you have worked, but only scrooge companies do that. Still, i wouldn't disagree that 16m is too much.
