Right now it couldn't be more abstract to some folks, but that is ok.
Its an interesting job. Some people refuse to participate/contribute to projects they see as a danger. Projects with strict deadlines as part of short term goals as set by management.
I strongly believe in cutting loses and we have the budget to outsource a lot after that is done.
Knowledge will be lost, but knowledge people that don't want to move forward have, has little to no value anyway.
Thanks for all the input, I'm sure I can make some nice visuals to go along with this story.
