Yep. Moog knew ahead of time that Gary Johnson is going to pull off a stunning upset and slash government spending!

i spent about 3 years just waiting for the other shoe to drop when layoffs were rampant a few years ago…it sucks sitting around waiting to see what happens.

in one funny moment someone actually reserved a conference room on the company system and put under the “meeting purpose” heading “dubai international studio layoffs”…suffice it to say when someone went to see if the room was available that morning a shit storm started.

Timewarner did the same thing when they were reorganizing you could see the reason the conference rooms were booked weeks ahead on the shared calendars lol

I’ve got about 19 months left, then I’m probably gone. Finish up my EMBA then I’m out.

Glad to hear you didn’t get laid off. I work for MOOG in EA. I’m very happy. Good pay, benefits…etc There were no lay offs in Aircraft either.

That’s a good thing.

A few of the big Canadian banks are in the top 10 in the US. TD is expanding wildly along the eastern seaboard. In my industry (collision repair) all of the major body shop networks are owned by canadians, either directly or through private equity. Calibre, Boyd / Gerber and CARSTAR.
