Yep. It's gonna be interesting. I guess with the LT leaving before the new YP moves in screws over my organisation though so that's kinda funny. If they delay it, they'll miss out on a couple of weeks of placement subsidy, or if they have to pay workers they're not going to make very much profit from his placement
