I think you need reminding that had the queen been succeeded by a republic a whole load more would have got the sack.
Pure speculation. Firstly that is a completely irrelevant comparison - these people are being made redundant because one monarch is being replaced by another monarch. It isn't a situation where one type of constitution is being replaced by another - whether that be monarchy by republic or republic by monarchy. So Vlad, for your point to have any kind of validity (it doesn't by the way) you'd also need to explain why a situation where a republic is replaced by a monarchy wouldn't result in redundancies while a monarchy replaced by a president would.
Secondly I'm not sure that the creation of a republic would have such an effect - you'd replace a monarch, requiring staff, administrative functions etc, with a president performing similar functions and similarly requiring staff, administrative functions etc. So presumably many, if not most of those people would be transferred to similar roles (possibly requiring TUPE) to serve the new non-royal head of state.
The reason why these people are being made redundant is that we have one less royal to serve with costly admin - so the whole functions of Clarence House are no longer needed as Charles acquires the functions that served his mother.
But your lack of consideration seems to point to you not giving a shit about that.
Nope - it is you who is showing lack of consideration - these are real people, many of who have served Charles for years and decades who are casually being told they may be made redundant at a time when I suspect many of these people are feeling raw and emotional and during an unprecedented cost of living crisis. And the timing and manner of the notice really stinks - firstly to make the announcement right now, before the Queen has even been buried. So apparently it is completely unacceptable to be on holiday in Center Parts on Monday, but perfectly acceptable to sack people in the royal household.
Also people found out in an impersonal letter from a minion - if you are going to threaten people with redundancy have the guts to do it yourself and do it in person. Once during my career I had to preside over a restructure that placed a significant number of people under threat of redundancy in the department I headed - I told the staff in person, in a meeting, face-to-face (obviously followed up by formal letters).
So yes I do feel for these people, real people whose real jobs are under threat. By contrast all you can do is make a political point about a hypothetical situation involving hypothetical people and hypothetical jobs. And I thought christians were supposed to be compassionate - not much of that on show from you Vlad.
