Manulife/John Hancok is all the same. The folks in the US are not trying to take jobs from those in Canada. Rather the folks at the top in Canada are so greedy and evil they want to move jobs to the cheapest places possible, Hence the fearless leader at the top can get another 21% salary incease. That means jobs leaving the US and Canada alike. At last, update there is a projet underway with a list consisting of 18 new sites to "develop" and move expensive jobs to. While there were 3 token US cities (Detroit), most were in 3rd world asian and south american hell-hole countries. Additionally, the goal is to outsource another 1000 jobs to Manila by 2015 brining the total there to nearly 4000. Those jobs will come from both US and Canada.
Point of clarification to several layoff dates below. The big layoff days are to be the week of April 22nd.
