At the starting in 1940s there are war going on so the staffing also got affected as the war broke out many people went to the army as well as social services, so the employees were much less for recruitment. As the new companies emerges at the point of time they have attracted many of the core employees of the group the retention is very much crucial for the company and there were many cost cutting going on the phase of fuel price hike. It was very hard for the management to hold the employees to change the job.
