I got a gentle chuckle with respect to this article detailing the on-going merger activities between Foxtel and Austar United Communications.
| Foxtel Begins Merger Shakeout |
“A spokesman for Foxtel said all staffing decisions will be finalised in the next six weeks, but would not comment on whether the move will lead to a reduction in the size of the workforce.”
No comment on “whether the move will lead to a reduction in the size of the workforce”.
But?
“Consequently a process is now underway whereby people will either be confirmed in their roles or, where there are more suitable people than positions, selecting the right people for the roles.”
Sounds like there are more people than positions, else they wouldn’t need to say “where there are more suitable people than positions”.
Hmmm.
So, no comment, but here’s a comment?
Proof reading. Try it sometime.
