Looks like seniority keeps the ones who are remaining still in the house...at least for now. And those are probably couples with absolutely nothing to go back to...no homes, no possessions. It's easier to send singles back out into the world, for the Borg at least.
A THIRD have left in only three years?? Dang if that doesnt scream "DOWNSIZING" i dont know what does!
More for US!! (happy dance!!)
And I would bet those who were sent out as "Special Pioneers" have a time limit on them for being SPs. Like, ok, we will pay you as Special Pioneers for the next 24 months, but in the meantime you need to actively look for ways to support yourself because ours will end then.
