A healthcare insurance company based in Kent has asked its employees to choose between job losses and cuts to their pay and conditions.
AXA PPP Healthcare gave staff in Tunbridge Wells a vote on its response to the economic downturn.
The options were laid out in an e-mail "getting us through the recession".
They included cutting 300 jobs and a 10% pay cut. Staff were also asked to pick other money-saving options, such as turning off the air conditioning.
This will be the future. Every year staff can vote either to lose jobs or take large pay cuts and reduced "benefits". So, aircon off or hard toilet paper? No toilet cleaners or 20 to a desk.
Meanwhile India develops its space programme and opens another Bentley dealership.
