Voluntary severance at my university has damaged staff morale - the Guardian

This policy has damaged staff morale. The threat hangs over all my colleagues’ discussions, departmental or otherwise.

The intention of these tactics is clear: avert a panic or strike among staff until whenever the compulsory redundancies begin. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/nov/23/voluntary-severance-at-my-university-has-damaged-staff-morale
