His "guess" is that 66% will stay, only his guess. He said that 2 wks ago his guess was no hiring for 18-24 months, now he says about 3 yrs, except to fill the FDAs, which there will be another bid soon and if no new takers, then they will hire into the FDAs.
Wow....at some point, even the bean counters have to admit it may be more "cost effective" from the company's standpoint to increase the compensation package in the FDAs in order to fill the 50+ vacancies internally, rather than hire 50 more new hires we won't need for another 3 yrs.
