Case scenario:
Ramon Smith is city manager of a midsize town in Louisiana. The cite that he is managing has run its own cafeteria for many years. The staff has been with the city for 20 to 30 years and is in their forties and fifties. The city's evaluation unit, at Romon's request, has conducted a study showing that great saving would be available to the city by privatizing the cafeteria services. Ramon knows that staff well, and their level of skill would make it very difficult for them to attain jobs in the same industry with the pay and benefits that the city currently pays them.
