    Most jobs to be lost will be at senior staff at Edinburgh City Council, with a 25 per cent reduction of managers.

    I know nothing of council salaries but that should save a fair amount of money - 1000 senior managers at, say 30k each (adjust according to reality) is £30 million saved per year. More, I suspect.

    Human cost is something else; hopefully the process will spare those who have been doing a good job.

    presumably all the good ones will 'jump' to private/non-profit sector...

    Some will (not just the 'good' ones!)

    There are plenty of people who want to work for CEC/public sector.

    They just wished it was 'run' better -
