The global ketchup maker spent Tuesday morning telling hundreds of workers that they would no longer have jobs with Heinz, as 600 office positions, including 350 jobs in Pittsburgh, were cut across the company's operations in the U.S. and Canada.

Romney-style.
But it's often fun to pretend that you're an Obama-loving low-information voter and throw an Internet tantrum. :-)
I guess good business decisions are now a bad thing. Next thing you know, they’ll be complaining about the former CEO’s $56 million golden parachute and $156 million in stock and deferred compensation. Class warriors, doncha know.
Yeah, while the horseface and his doped up wife were campaigning, there were several articles published that they were not connected anymore to Heinz Ketchup. Thanks once again to the honest and up front media.
Sometimes we here at Free Republic start to sound like Occupy Wall Street.
I’ve been laid-off from a Fortune 500 company. Our product line was cut and our whole group was terminated.
Security walked us all out the door as a precautionary measure. Outgoing employees have been known to throw a temper tantrum or do a bit of computer sabotage.
Precautions.
We did not especially like it, but understood the rationale behind the process.
The Tribune-Review is much, much better, but their subscription base is a lot smaller.
Pittsburgh is a Democrap stronghold still.
The problem is globalism and the massive dominance the elite have over wealth and assets, globally. To them, workers are a cash crop to be exploited for profits and power. The global population is much larger than necessary. We've seen a real culling of both the super rich and middle classes, too many people having any assets or power was not good for the puppet masters.
The only way it ends is the collapse of globalism. Some areas will persevere, by the talents and hard work of residents. Other areas, not so much.
What’s the skinny on Hunts?
You can tell there is going to be a lay off because....
1. Security guards are issued shotguns.
2. Employees need to attend "cardboard box folding 101" class
3. Security guards patrol in pairs.
4. Instructions for box folding are incorporated in the company QC manual (this is not a joke...a fellow employee once wrote out a box folding spec and the boss signed off on it)
5. Employees are sent to an off site location for the annual company meeting (never to return)
6. A big group of foreign workers come in to learn how to operate the machinery (subsequently sold to China)
It was never hers to sell. Heinz has been a publicly traded company for 100 years until this year when it was bought out by Warren Buffett and 3G Capital.
Oh. Thanks for the correction.
Oh wow - both posts were made at the exact same second!
“John Kerry prefers profits over people!”
Any business that doesn’t put profit before people doesn’t deserve to exist!!!
