No, none of those staff were notified of their reductions. One of the individuals asked and had requested to be put on notice as far as being a potentially affected employee. Heβs on deferred leave and some medical. The way he put it: for succession planning for the department, he was getting near time to retire and he offered his name up because he was going to be leaving anyhow. He was the only individual who received a letter, and it was because he requested it.
