I work for said south eastern unit and can confidently say most staff don't really know where we stand. On the one hand redundancies are occuring, but although most site assisstants have gone that still leaves most of the field POs and supervisors as site staff (harsh truth but its easier just to recruit diggers when thay are needed). Projectwise things are tight, as they are in many places, but over all the picture is unclear as the management don't really tell you what the situation is (probably coz they don't know either which tenders might be taken up or not). Still its sad to see things happening like this.
