The layoffs and outsourcing, while handled in a manner that gives little consideration to veteran employees, could be rationalized as an unfortunate necessity in the current economic climate.
However, deceiving the outgoing staff so that they'll train their replacements as a way of saving a few bucks on a training program is utterly indefensible. If they were in danger of losing their jobs, the staff deserved to know as soon as possible so they could start looking for a new job, which is difficult enough under normal circumstances.
