It doesn't seem right to make people redundant, then outsource their job - I was always under the impression that it was the job that had to be shown to be redundant, rather than the person.

I really hope these rumours are unfounded, I just don't understand why any company would want to get rid of loyal, competent employees, in whom they have invested training, pensions etc, and swap them for an unknown quantity. The money saved may be evident to the bean counters, but the long term effect on service levels & customer satisfaction could actually cost them. But hey, who is interested in long term, these days
