Not that anything can be decided based on this amount of knowledge, but isn't it also possible that they want to increase their workforce so that the remaining experts can pass on their knowledge while they are still there?
- CWuestefeld 17y agoTrue, that's one possible explanation -- but it seems a stretch to me. On the other hand, if the actual goal is not to increase the workforce size as such, why not just set up the criteria to reflect what your actual goal are? That is, if your goal is to prevent "brain drain", why not specifically state the criteria in terms of loss of personnel possessing unique expertise. The criteria as stated would let us be perfectly willing to throw one Feynman under the train in order to save two cafeteria dishwashers.
- SapphireSun 17y agoThat's a good point. One could argue they might have just made a bad powerpoint, but that sounds really weak.
