    Fact, I've been holding on to this bottle of whiskey since I found out.
    Fact, I've had some beers too.
    Fact, IT, R&D, Engineering, Legal, North America, Communications are affected
    Fact, the severance package mentioned in the May 15 thread is accurate.
    That's all I've got for facts. I'm drunk and I'm not finding reasons to show up before my meeting. I could ask about the insurance and shit here but I'll, find out from HR tomorrow. Good luck to everyone. Peace out, bitches.

    Fact, he has terrible aim. He threw something at his admin, and missed. Still got the company sued.

    It is.

    Nope. HR has the big conference rooms booked until Friday at 6:00, but our VP said everyone who is being let go this time has already had their sit-down with management and HR, so we could all go home tonight and rest easy. Guess we're safe for another six months or so.

    Then how are they coming up with 92 people from R&D if everyone is already gone? It was probably only half that number today.

    Who was affected by Alcon layoff announcement? I heard 800 laidoff but don't know any details. Is it the FTW campus?

    -Concerned former employee cut April 2013 when they shuttered FTW research site and laid off 120.

    800 globally...300 or so in FTW...that 262 is bs...they are not counting people they got for
    "performance"

    they European hits will be spread out over months as they have to work through the unions and work councils

    7 people lost their job in Huntington. I think my manager said 270 total company wide in his meeting. Will hear from the plant manager tomorrow.

    California is having their meeting at 10am tomorrow. I'm sure it's just more of the same old stuff.
