Have you guys looked at a ford car vs Honda/toyota. The choice is obvious, why would anyone want to buy a ford. The Honda crv was the best selling vehicle in America for a reason. Ownership cost is way lower than a ford. Those who still drive a ford is only because they get a management discount so don’t let them fool you. Bankruptcy is around the corner…

Are EchoStar employees still calling themselves “disruptors”?. The pay TV business is bankrupt, satellite TV is dying, Sling isn’t competitive, the wireless strategy has been abandoned, and Hughes is under pressure… what exactly are you disrupting? I have an offer but I am wondering if it’s even worth taking

VZ to acquire Dish out of bankruptcy, laying off massive amounts of head count to pay for it.

Layoffs to fly under the radar of the larger story

Got laid off today
HR guy got upset at my comment. I said “today it’s my job, within a year it’s probably yours”

I had good memories, but clearly this company is going bankrupt again pretty soon. You can’t outsource every job to India and expect good results

Now that it looks like from managements maneuvering that bankruptcy is certain to happen very soon, what are the odds it could go directly to Ch 7 instead of Ch 11.
There was an analyst stating it could line up that way because of the abnormal amount of debt they are dealing with.
This would mean all stockholders would have zero value.

Serious problems are piling up, and many drivers are only discovering them after it’s too late. From engine failures to massive recalls affecting over a million vehicles, the risks are becoming harder to ignore. Some issues can shut a vehicle down unexpectedly, turning everyday driving into a gamble. Repair costs are climbing fast, leaving owners stuck with bills they didn’t plan for. As more defects surface, confidence in these vehicles continues to slip.

Per the legally binding agreement between Cummins, the unions and the government, people laid off end March would receive severance payments of 3 or 6 months depending on age and/or seniority. At this point, Cummins failed to pay and hr replies with very vague messages to people enquiring.
The unspoken plan to let the entity go bankrupt without honoring the social plan seems to become reality.
But remember.... 'they care about you'!

What happens to us when it goes to bankruptcy?

More layoffs there too. Yet they claim it's not related to bankruptcy...yeah right ..Like you can ever trust this company

The smiling man is going to hold town halls in his vest and act like it's a great thing we're going bankrupt and then repeat the mantra "Focus on executing the WIN strategy." The same mantra he has used for every quarter of negative results. The same mantra used when we were told there would be no bonuses.

The fact of the matter is, revenue has declined for 4+ years and the executives have shown they are without any ideas to stop it. Project ATHENS was supposed to "stabilize" revenue whatever the he-l that means - but I can't imagine it meant it would just consistently go down.

The "Age of Possibility" was supposed to bring in new customers. Revenue dropped double digits.

The WIN strategy that has brought us millions of new customers? Revenue has declined EVEN MORE.

New people are being given keys to the shop after the bankruptcy. Don't expect the executives at Silver Point Capital to walk around and shake everyone's hand and talk about how excited they are to work with us. They will be about slashing every single line-item that doesn't make sense. Expect fulfillment to materially change - at least one ware house will close. Bookmark this.

The hedge funds aren't here to run a shopping channel indefinitely - they are here to make back their money by any means necessary. They aren't thinking long term. They are thinking 3 to 5 years.

Don't expect bonuses next year. You were kind of silly for expecting them this year. In addition, expect higher benefit costs at open enrollment

Rawlinson and company will stay as figure heads. They will give an air of stability that is needed - but they aren't in charge once the Summer is over.
You can start being real or you can continue to believe the nonsense spewed in the town halls that are as cheesy as the TV we produce.

QVC will be around indefinitely - but expect another big layoff. This time it won't just be office jobs. Customer service will be replaced by AI (As much as possible) and fulfillment will be modernized, "right sized" (you know what that means) and replaced by robots (as much as possible).

Former Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. employees filed a class action lawsuit. They claim the airline improperly laid off about 17,000 workers.
