Die Kosten sind wesentlich hoeher, denn waehrend dieser Arbeits-
stunden konnten die Schreibtische, PCs und Gummibaeume der Mitarbeiter
wahrscheinlich nicht untervermietet werden.

Aber wenn man bedenkt, dass fuer die mindestens 60 Stueck "Human Ressources"
dort sowieso ein gewisser Prozentsatz der Jahresarbeitszeit fuer
Teilnahme an Dienstbesprechungen, Fortbildung und berufliche Weiterentwicklung
eingeplant sein duerfte, relativiert sich diese Zahl doch recht stark.

viele Gruesse
