It's a shame as Atos Origin was a great place to work at one time. However, Atos continues to acquire competitive companies and then Celebrate with extensive LAY-OFF's shedding long term skilled and dedicated resources to accommodate the acquisition costs (and the personnel costs associated with the newly acquired resources. These resources are told there will be NO LAYOFFS however at the 6 month mark there are always surprise layoffs. This repeating process is due to GREED and it will be their downfall, much like Enron and Nortel Networks, MCI, etc.
Agreed, @P2NoBU1-bcrv. They lull people into a false sense of security before they start laying them off. This is affecting company morale significantly. I used to like working here. no so much anymore.
