Slaughters to part company with 41 secretaries at end of consultation

John Smith - Thank you for your facetious comment. No they are not doing it for a laugh, they are doing it to ensure they maintain their level of drawings reagardless of how much revenue the firm brings in. I have no problem with them managing their business in this way (after all, they are the owners). I just object to the way the wording of the article appears to absolve the partners of responsibility. S&M is not a high street shop which is 'forced' to make redundancies to fend off bankruptcy - it is the most profitable UK law firm and 'chooses' to make redundancies to maintain that title.
