Lots of layoffs announced after the election. Obamacare is driving them. Surely someone here is, or is going to be a casualty. Just curious what their thoughts might be.
Mourning in America - Here's Those Layoffs We Voted For Last Night
Welch Allyn
Dana Holding Corp.
Stryker
Boston Scientific
Medtronic
Darden Restaurants
JANCOA Janitorial Services
Kroger
Some smaller layoffs below.
Smith & Nephew - 770 layoffs
Abbott Labs - 700 layoffs
Covidien - 595 layoffs
Kinetic Concepts - 427 layoffs
St. Jude Medical - 300 layoffs
Hill Rom - 200 layoffs
The reduction of hours at Kroger is worrisome for me. I have a number of their employees as members. They don't get paid well to start with and a reduction of hours will certainly mean defaults. I have a strict policy that defaults go to collections so this is not going to be good any way you look at it.
Sacrifices have to me made I guess.
