Uni Melbourne to announce staff “reset” out of jobs

Outcomes of the professional services redesign expected today

It’s been a long and painful process for people who first started fearing for their jobs back in August, when senior executives Mark Considine and James McCluskey told staff there would be a “re-set” of “transactional and advisory services,” (CMM August 28).

Staff whose jobs will be abolished are expected to leave in April.

But it could be worse. At least that’s what management of one school appears to think, promising to keep everybody informed of redesign outcomes and adding staff should “take pity” on managers “who will spend much of the month locked in meetings.”
