“As part of our continuous improvement review, we have identified an opportunity to review the organisational placement of Payroll within our business and we have concluded that the potential for efficiencies when combining payroll with other administrative functions affords us an excellent opportunity to combine both functions and enhance our support. “

Right, then. 🙄

What they saying then?

Everyone will be redundant within a month

Woppit’s role may be redundant (I think)

“Firstly, we have signed a transformational outsourcing deal with xxxx which will deliver an increase to our cost synergies from the £112m per annum in 2013, which we will still hit on time, to £143m per annum by 2015. This deal de-risks the embedded value, contractualises the delivery of the cost synergies, and it de-risks the execution of our plans, allowing us to focus on the other opportunities we have as a business.”

I did not make that up.

If I’ve understood that, does that translate as we’re going to pay £31million more to pass the buck and have someone else to blame? ❓

Or have I completely missed the mark?

They’ve seen Woppit’s internet use?

Thats pretty much how i read translate it too. i think.

I sincerely hope that isn’t the actual text of the email, MrWoppit?

As this website is so well indexed by Google, and HR departments are known to check whether such texts end up on the internet, you really don’t want it associated with you.

Redundancy is better than instant dismissal…

My position is in about as much risk as Everest being blown away by a mouse fart.

It just means some poor sod will have to do the payroll as well as all their other stuff 🙁

Mice tiny creatures but there s one born every 15 seconds. Is a mouse fart less powerful than sparrowfart

Why have they said there is an opportunity to review and then a few words later decide that they’ve concluded the review.

So what they’ve really said is;

We’ve reviewed organisational structure and concluded that Payroll will now be handled by X.

Then some tripe about how much betterer it will be.

edit, bollix what taxi said.

Thats pretty much how i translate it too. i think.

I thought the opposite, they’re saving £112m in 2013 and saving £143m in 2014? I.e. whatever this outsourcing/change is saving them £31m per year, on top of £112m/year already (and it won’t impact schedule).

Ahh so you are the sender.

They are combining Payroll with Janitorial Services and you will now be paid in toilet rolls and those little round blue things they put in urinals.
