@1ljf+14V1YfH1: It is not so easy to lay off employees in Europe. it will be interesting.
Untrue. RIF is going to happen to all regions even in India and China.
@sug continues to use that word deliberately in place of the Americans he hates. Why not just go home? Oh, warts and all, America is still a better place than home, eh?
I love it when I spend 2.5 hours with nonUS IT support only to be referred to my on-site US IT merkin who has a solution in less than 5 minutes and fixes it in 15 minutes.
That’ll teach us. Lol
Stop using the word literally. You only use it when describing a metaphor. Otherwise, it is or it is not. China and India lack the experience and expertise to design their way out of wet paper bag with a hole in it. They are exceptional at stealing IP and making low quality knock-offs. The incompetence is in the execs and the board that have wasted billions on stock buybacks instead of investing in new tech.
Honeywell can by-pass the 18 month hiring freeze when they have a RIF by Laying off in the US and hiring as required outside the US. That way they break no US labor laws.....
Because they can and it’s easier - Most states are at will employment. It can take years to get rid of Europe employees with all the works council laws etc. Are you really not aware?
I hope that is a rhetorical question.
