Don't get that, isn't it like that everywhere, does anything else make sense? If the decision is not final, why distract the workers who would now have a what-its-worth-if-it-maybe-ends thinking? And at the moment the decision is made the opposite, it doesn't make sense to let anyone keep working on it, so it is abrupt and surprising for most? Also, what is bad about it, sure it is a bit frustrating to trash work, but sometimes things change... for me, this never resulted in layoffs but there is always enough work for skilled people and they move to other projects in need (most times being the main reason for such decisions).
