   Hi! Alexander,   
      
   On 09 Dec 19 10:49, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> while skilled staff were converted or 'let go'. Later, the clerks   
    PQ>> became the fodder. I got on my own terms.   
      
   I inadvertently ommitted a word.  While not being important, it does affect   
   meaning; the last sentence should read 'I got out on my own terms'.  A   
   re-organisation had left me with no foreseeable future in the new version of   
   my workplace, so I resigned.   
      
    AK> Why "fodder"? Is it food for cattle?   
      
   Yes, metaphorically.  Something easily found in abundance.  Generally this   
   means the actual workers, not the supervisors.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
