加拿大Finning裁员160人

经济衰退导致卡特彼勒设备的销售量下降，因此，加拿大Finning公司裁掉了阿尔伯达省和哥伦比亚省的160名员工。人力资源部部的副经理Mile Hunt今天说，从保障人员到管理人员的各阶层人员都未能幸免。其中，在位于埃德蒙顿的总部，就有29人失去了工作。
   Hunt表示，作为Finning主要收入来源的油砂工程频频被推迟和取消，但这并不是裁员的原因。他还说Finning没有受到经济危机的影响，只是在一些地区销售量出现下滑。他补充说，他们会继续注意形势的变化，但“我们不敢说裁员已经结束了”。
/ k2 d- f3 X( o( R$ V: a   由于在加拿大西部和英国业务量下滑，Finning国际集团温哥华总公司的CEO Mike Waites最近降低了2008年的销售预期。对新设备的需求很可能会减少，因而抑制了购买力，但恰恰促使了零部件和客服需求的增加，而这才是Finning公司最赚钱的买卖。
   据统计，Finning三季度的净收入为64，800，000美元，而去年同期仅为63，600，000美元；收入是14.6亿美元，去年是13.3亿。新设备和发动机的销售上升了12%，客服收入上涨了15%。订货额也有所增加，创下了20亿美元的新纪录，“这为2009年乃至2010年提供了良好收入前景，”Waites这样说道。

点烦

我觉得他们未雨绸缪，为更坏的可能作准备。现在这样，企业还是有能力付给辞退员工一定的补偿，被辞退员工趁现在还不是太差，仍有机会重新找工作。

差不多占总员工的3.5个百分点。

Its order backlog has also grown to a new record of $2 billion, dominated by mining equipment, "and provides good revenue visibility for 2009 and into 2010," Waites said.
