In a previous role our QA team went from 5 to 2 due to this sort of thing happening. one person chose to offer his resignation rather than get sacked, another returned whilst looking for other work (which he found fairly easily as he was really good) and the 3rd guy is still there in post. Interestingly though the guy they were bitching about was fairly universally disliked and this made life even harder for him which I thought was somewhat unfair on him as it wasn’t him who was at fault in this instance, he was just an arse.
UK Gov has already said they have no plans to change consumer law, so I suspect that this will have the same result as all other petitions that the government wasn’t already planning to and nothing will come of it. There may be a token debate if it hits the 100k signatures but again, nothing is likely to come from it.
