350 is a massive number. I won’t be recommending anyone a degree for a few years from these mismanaging cunts
Geez, Edinburgh too? Is that connected to the mismanagement at Dundee or are these just coincidences?
Not connected from what I can see. But there is obviously a culture problem with how these two institutions are being run. Edinburgh in particular has been hoovering up real estate and building also, is it a land lord or educator/researcher? Do they need to keep increasing student numbers? Do they have to operate with vast amounts of debt to paydown?
Okay, non-Scot stupid question, but is “voluntary redundancy”?
Take 1 years salary to piss off essentially
“we need to let people go” basically.
It’s a nice way of doing layoffs with financial incentives and generally causes less questions during further job interviews.It would be open to a department (say), allowing people to “leave on good terms” with a bit of extra cash.
Once the voluntary redundancies have been sorted out, mandatory redundancies or layoffs would then be processed to meet whatever target
