AWEsome lessons well learned ........
"The restructuring plan ....... will permit the company to increase investment in strategic growth areas."
Which are? Or is that too much of an ask to be honestly answered truthfully?
:-) You might like to realise that hazarding a guess can give them new ideas and suggesting any proposal may have them taking even further steps which are sometimes tantamount to being criminal, as a Peter Elliot 7 Feb 2021 3:16AM outlines has been his unpleasant experience with a dodgy government doing innovative business in a comment on an article in the Telegraph today.
I would like to submit an Innovation proposal to IDS's Taskforce on Innovation, Growth and Regulatory Reform. However, I have valuable intellectual property I want to protect. Will the government agree commercial confidentiality ? It wants new ideas. I've submitted commercial proposals to a government department in the past which have turned up in a Policy document. I'm not willing to let civil servants steal my Intellectual Property and pass it off as their own.
Be assured though, although you are quite right to be thoroughly disgusted, such is simple par for the course of governments reliant on the private entrepreneurial sector for the provision of future ideas and a very good reason to never ever share them with governments with a view to one being genuinely adequately recompensed for the value added and fortunes made with applications of proprietary intellectual property pilfered from originating sources.
