DLA restructuring to dramatically scale back Gulf presence

Don't worry, DLA are not changing their tune this time! I was made redundant earlier this year and had to fight to get even my contractual entitlements. I knnow some people who have been part of the redundancies this time around and the theme is much the same - HR being very difficult, refusing to offer even what is contractually compulsory - they particularly are doing this with the support staff. The new region head seems like an honest person, and has a good vision for the future, however his first port of call really should be to ensure that the people who are leaving now leave happy and well compensated, as DLA is unlikely to recover from another round of bad press. And no DLA, "compensation" does not mean your notice period and gratuity. That is called an "entitlement". I am so glad that I dont work there any more.
