Well, it stems from the concept that in the UK, a -person- isn't "made redundant", an -instance of a role- is. In other words, a role is found to have redundancy (i.e. multiple people doing it), so the redundancy is removed. Having said that it doesn't always make sense - in the current climate entire roles are being eliminated in the quest to save money.
Anyway, why are you all assuming Mike was pushed? Maybe he was just made a better offer elsewhere - after all, web managers must be ripe pickings for headhunters, being so visible. Logitech are cutting jobs, but I'm not sure we should do Mike the disservice of assuming it's related. -- simbo *bedroom:* squeezebox 3 => audioengine a2 *study:* squeezebox receiver => marantz pm6002 => grado sr80 *lounge:* softsqueeze => mce 2005 => yamaha dsp-ax620 => mordaunt-short premiere *anywhere:* squeezebox controller 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/buggle52) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60891 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
