What is going to happen to the staff at the Nappy Advice Center in Reading?

They will find themselves in deep tulip.

Please tell me you're making this stuff up. WTF? Nappy advice centre? Cycling advice centre?

Are you all completely helpless in Britain? Should I organise a collection here on le continent to help you with life's basics?

Fook, that's a big public sector.

What is going to happen to the staff at the Nappy Advice Center in Reading?
The average £1,000,000 each council spends on propaganda newspapers.

Ah! the great thing about outplacement is that you dont have to actually find people jobs. You just need to sit down and "talk" about their careers, tart up the CVs and maybe train them on how to type "jobs" into google. at £2500 a shot-- no wonder Penta are doing so well.

Good idea. I could do that. I'll give them interview training, given my success rate of 9/10 at interviews. 2500 squid a go you say?

Fook, that's a big public sector.

John Philpott, the CIPD’s chief economic adviser, said a 10 per cent reduction in the 5.8m core public sector workforce was probable, “dwarfing anything implicit in the election manifestos”.
