Italian Meaning

It means that prodution employees have been sent home (to sit in the garden).

 

...where they'll be growing their own vegetables, to make soup...

I heard Koni shocks laid off 75%...scary if true.....

 

Paid in lieu.... Basically, an extended paid (can be reduced pay) leave due to overcapacity or outright paying someone in lieu of contractual termination (can be quite long in Europe) but while they aren't actually working they are still employed and therefore unable to work elsewhere - hence being on "gardening leave"...

 

Thanks Marco, I wondered about a "retainage" arrangement...more of a furlough in lieu of a termination.....

 

"production employees will be put in garden leave"

It means they're compost
