What about staff? I was talking to someone the other day who said morale is in the toilet; examples aboud, but one was that senior management are not getting expenses paid until May. Like, business expenses made since Christmas.

Why? WW is due to pocket a good sized bonus if he can bring the financial results in according to some target, and the feeling was they were pretty much going to do that (pre-T5 fiasco that is).

If that is true, then it could be he's basically cooking the books by making people claim expenses occurred in one financial year, to be paid in the next year - so the results of the first year look better than they really should be...
