IBM announced to axe 190 jobs. Despite the 250 new jobs in Ballina, we're still loosing jobs at a frightening rate. Sure, we have turned the corner and weathered the storm.

Staff at Elsevier heard this on the news this morning, before the company told them.

Having worked at Elsevier (1987-1990) I can honestly say that the staff there were the nicest bunch of people you could ever come across. One of those (few!) companies where you actually felt a sense of camaraderie rather than just coming to a place so as to merely pay the bills. Those of you reading - and who have experienced 'this' - will appreciate the sentiment.
My heart goes out to those remaining (R. Beacom, G Gallagher, etc.).
Just know, folks, that even though it is a shock to the system, it's NOT the end of the world.

In Shanon they are laying off the suits maybe the HSE should take note the days are numbered for the suits to go back to basics . Lets see their worth. give them 3 months to justify their wages and if not dump them . Leave frontline staff alone
