Yes, saw a spreadsheet with the names on the printer. Happening around the 18th. My group is gloabal and looked like most names were from South America and Europe. Good luck to all.
late march
I haven’t seen any exact numbers but the talk isn’t good with the market continuing to fall into the second quarter.
So why is everyone surprised?
Singapore plants have 2.5 months bonuses last year. They hope this year also getting the same amount.
I have been telling you since December that they were preparing. Since the job count hasn’t picked up it’s just a matter of time before people start heading home.
So cloudy this morning, quiet and grey. I sit here quietly with my coffee, I start my day.
It's now I notice the solitary figure, standing atop the admin building to the north. A lone figure intensely gazing south across the grounds.
What is in the coffee today? I clear my eyes, the day grows brighter and the figure remains. It is the cowboy, the rodeo king and master of his domain.
I check the date on my day by day, cute kittens, desktop calendar, an xmas gift from my friend - i pause, then take a second look.
Geoffrey looks cute, in his denim and boots, and a handful of breeze in his hair.
He stands resplendent in his high top boots, baggy denim pants distressed and torn in a somewhat comical way and a plaid shirt, oversized and untucked, that my grandpa wouldn't even wear. Pulling a 4 foot handkerchief from a very small breast pocket, he blows his nose.
As the breeze picks up, he strikingly takes up a pose. Hands on hips. One foot forward, Head high and chest out. The growing breeze picks up and reveals the cape atop his shoulders, it flutters in the wind and despite the grey of the day it is a bright and brilliant red. A fine satin cape, fashionably complementing the denim and plaid. This is! The man! for these times. Like a dashboard jesus, he stands ready to take the wheel. I sigh.
I take comfort in this image and also of the cute kitten featured on this day's day-by-day desktop calendar, realizing that our ship will weather this storm, the stock price will rise to over 50 bucks per share and co-workers will smile at one another again. And strangely, as if on cue, i hear aaron copeland's fanfare for the common man. ?? My next desk neighbor has gotten in, late again, and streaming music onto his usb speaker has taken my attention away. When i look back, geoffrey is gone !
yeah, well jethro betta’ do something quick, stock is dropping today, i want ! my dividends and with the falling share price i may just buy a coupl’a more.
Is this new anymore? Our company has to eat too
Don’t be scared. Stop shaking. The entire building is shaking.
i’m afraid, could someone please hold me.
I was in HR reps office at North Belt and saw email titled something along confidential: North America Q1 reduction. Sounds like something may be cooking. Cant speak for ops though. With news of a few customers sliming capex, not a surprise.
Northbelt campus including technology. Better start grabbing Rolodex, logins and etc.
You have been warned!
Monday?
