Relax in garden while employees are getting rid of it (5)
I believe the answer is:
axing
'getting rid of it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'relax in garden while employees' is the wordplay.
'AXING' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for axing that I've seen before include "Cutting down" , "Dismissing (employees)" , "Chopping, wood or jobs say" , "Reducing expenditure sharply" , "Sacking" .)
