Question Tony/Company why decision was delayed

Stressed due to worry about paying for trip or having to cancel and lose deposit

Possibility of this backfiring as some-most employees may not want to take it voluntarily

Possibility to open redundancy to other employees

Are there other positions available though?

What is the cost benefit for this when you consider training etc...?

Is this a restriction of personal freedom? Some employees may not like this.

This contradicts the decision in Scenario 1 #
