Makes sense.. why wouldn't they retrench the workers? The government wage subsidy only stipulates that they have to keep employee levels until August.. After September, it's fair game to do whatever they want.. Besides, after getting the huge injection from the government and basically HK taxpayers, it's the right thing to do to restructure the company and employee base to make sure the company will be profitable again in the future.
