The future looks dim for Deacons Melbourne as over half of its articled clerks were today told that they would not be kept on after their one-year articles contract concludes on March 2.
Global economic gloom. Deacons downturn.
Nine of the seventeen article clerks were taken into meetings with HR and their principal and given the devastating news today. At least one of the nine made redundant has aske whether it would be possible for the firm to extend their employment until the date of their admission in mid-April.
There is no official word yet on whether this request has been granted.
The sacked nine are also concerned that the firm will not bear the cost of admission, which is many hundreds of dollars.
