well they had about 100ish positions axed last week.. we've been having acquistions and mergers over the past 3 yeas so there has also been hiring 'freezes'. don't get me wrong i think there is a bit of excess fat that needs to be trimmed (looking at an efficiency / business stand point) but at the same time these people's livelihoods will be affected.
it will be interested to see what happens when they make the official press release to provide further details... (i hope we aren't outsourcing anything like other competitors)
