....about 360! It finally happened, the powers that be (the 'little one'!) said 'roll over', so one rolled over and 40 fell out. The global economic downturn has hit E&Y Brisbane. Last week about 1/10 (about 40) of our staff were 'let go', including 11 from my tax group. I think a further 60 or so in total were also let go from our Melbourne and Sydney offices. The little one has so far neither confirmed nor denied that there will be any more.
That said, we have been told that everything should be ok for the next few months (hmmm!), however it does look likely that enforced unpaid leave and 4 day weeks/9 day fortnights will be coming into the equation fairly soon.
It's like a whole series of 'Survivor' here, not just one episode. Better start honing my 'hunter-gatherer' skills, and learn how to spear fish!
