Thread regarding Chicago Bridge & Iron layoffs

Once APTIM takes over capital services, their will be another lay off in November.

They had to cut because PM said there would be a reduction of expenses and the bankers have to see something. It's a show, there is no way they can cut their way out if this. Look how much they spend on interest alone. The good people have already left in the past few years, the management that is there cannot see the forest for the trees. They do not have the vision or the innovation to pull it off. And speaking of innovation that is a complete joke, waste of money, and time. The only thing that come out of that department is a whole lot of hot air, I mean an airhead. Go put an executive degree on it, paid for by the company no less, and say look here we have an expert who can "lead" us to transform the way we do business. Smoke and mirrors.

More "evidence" of management's "commitment" to transparency and valuing its most "important" asset....its employees!! What a total frickin joke and more lies!!!

This was round one and there will be more in weeks to come.

What is video.. I'm in utah, Clearfield shop. The only thing we've heard is Beaumont is gone, South Carolina is closing it's doors and all of corporate is fighting for the work.

Most of those laid off seemed to be women; but rock on WLN just so the good old boys feel better about themselves! As a woman, I devoted my heart and soul. I hope there are a few strong women left to balance out all the CB&i a--h---s!

With only 72 people cut out of the woodlands, that is not enough to bring the number down to fit everyone into Building 2 as planned. Going to have to chop some more.

Today- Fab Services was brought into the multi-purpose rooms to have a discussion about Pat Mullen's video...I don't recall much mention of the video, just a show of hands of who watched. The perception of the meeting to me was, more changes are coming (cuts and re-org) and we know what they know(yeah okay) and get to your office and do what you are being paid to do. I'm curious as to who will be doing the work of the people that were cut? Anyone know? That wasn't mentioned.
