One of them companies being Caterpillar who cut 18% of its workforce. My wife and I were just talking about that. They built a brand new 80,000sq foot complex here that just opened about a month ago. I’m interested to see what happens. ---

Ugh, shit needs to pick up soon. as long as one company is laying employees off, it will cause another to lay people off. Its a continuing trend that isnt going to stop anytime soon. ---

Personally, i think its a way for them to get rich off the layoff trend. Find a way to get rid of employees, keep the same accounts and still make the same amount of money, if not more. seems like a good idea to me… ---

I love being laid off. I took up a couple extra courses at school and sit around playing poker all day for spending money. I’m just worried they’ll call me back before the semester ends. ---

It is a case for companies to cut back on payroll and utilize employees to do more work than they usually do. I know my work hasn’t laid people off, but when people left, we have’t rehired. More work, the same amount of money. Company wins. ---

I heard about this faintly, hopefully licensing will not see many. We are very stable when compared to the ups and downs of other departments. ---

Agreed. i had actually called in the day of the lay offs (lets just say dont eat gas station food) but from what i hear and see the people that got laid off we could have easily done without. Me and the few other guys in my department bust ass like crazy so i’m not too worried. But just worrying about it sucks. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ingram-employees/62276.md?page=2)
