I agree Kevin, it doesn't exactly sound like a crisis to me yet, but perhaps there is more to this story.
Relocating the office and culling the management structure might be good for the organisation. I suspect that they'll have some of the same problems of UK government institutions relocating outside of London. Often about a third of the people leave, as they won't leave London. Decentralisation sounds like a great idea, particularly in a country as big and as populated as France. Surely they must have regional offices already? I wonder if this is due to commercial companies breaking their monopoly? I heard that previously developments can be held up for years by waiting for the state to have capacity to dig a site.
