Thread regarding Harsco Corp. layoffs

Layoffs in rail - slow agony?

This is just someone’s prediction, but I also think the outcome might be something like this:

Layoffs will continue in rail. From what I am learning it will be 2-4 people every couple of weeks.
What I am seeing is rail will be sold soon. Cost cutting needs to happen before the transaction is complete so it can be written off as part of the divesture. The costs of what is left gets amortized again by the new company.
The new owners have already been given tours of the buildings. Just waiting for the Covid impacts to be reduced.

Harsco Rail is a very racist and discriminatory company. There is a hostile workplace daily. The favoritism is obvious with certain employees. There is only 2 Black managers who won’t say anything about the unethical ways they are treated.
If webtec buys Harsco Rail, they will be inheriting a company with years of labor laws being broken and many lawsuits in the making.

I heard "Progress Rail", A Caterpillar Company, was a possible buyer.
A large company with monetary resources might be a better option.

I heard rumors that Wabtec is interested in buying Harsco Rail.
If this is true, that brings up questions about Wabtec and layoffs.

went here to investigate rumors about Harsco Rail being sold:
https://investors.harsco.com/financial-information/quarterly-earnings
clicked on transcript

Its on page 9 of transcript
From the CEO of Harsco Rail
"There are a number of buyers that have expressed interest"

So I would say Harsco Rail is for sale.

It seems like too much cost cutting might make the books look good,
but hurt the long term value of the Rail Business.
I hope you "potential buyers" are listening.
