I'm still confused by how the article is titled. Where does flexibility and conscience come in? Businesses have been making job cuts without worrying about consequences. They can do so because cheap labour is readily available as the government has opened the floodgates as wide as the Marina Barrage. Not many business worry about how their unemployed staff are going to cope paying the mortgage. Would really help if this dude spent less time talking about himself and more time making his point more coherent.
