Pretty simple thread where you can post What Company Laid off or Hired Employees and Where these gains/losses occurred. It seems it may be more negative at this point however as time goes on here we may see a change from the current negatives to positives as the recesssion comes to an end...hopefully sooner than later.
I'll even start by giving a couple examples here:
First, a company here in Grande Prairie, Alberta that sets up camps for oilfield construction/drilling etc recently laid off 50 people...I was told these layoffs were not of the usual spring breakup variety...they were more
longterm layoffs.
Another fella I witnessed in conversation with someone I know said the company he owned has been forced to sell by auction all equipment they use in there construction company. It was a small company with a few employees however the owner sounded like things were unwinding for him...so to speak.
It's a sign of the times for now I guess...So, not a complicated thread...just an idea to share what's happening out there as there seems to be lack of announcements as things happen, at least around here..that is the case.
