Major Layoffs at Abbott Diagnostics

Outstanding. My dog is drooling waiting for this to happen.

 

Nah. APOC has expanded greatly the past few years and the layoffs were 90% of IVIS at the satellite office across the street.

 

So Who survived at IVIS??

 

Tell that to the MFG staff at ISTAT

 

Re: IVIS is going to the dogs

So we are talking in abbreviations again. I heard this IVIS is the International Veterinary Information Service, which is a not-for-profit organization established to provide information to veterinarians. I would sell parts for cars instead. More money.

 

Couty.....

wow

Uh-oh!

 

Re: IVIS is going to the dogs

IVIS stands for in vitro imaging systems. We were making a point of care hematology platform before Abbott canned it last Tuesday!

 

Really, jack ass? You never made a typing error? Oh, sorry, you must be God. Please forgive me.

 

India office is closed, layoffs in global clinical research too

 

India office is being closed due to new healthcare/research regulations. All indian contractors and AV staff laid off too

 

Who gives a F**K about India!

 

Thanks for the update.

 

What this means to you, my friend, is that they are probably seeking even cheaper countries in which to outsource. That means that you are probably really in trouble unless you are willing to work for a penny a month.

 

Outstanding news. I am really impressed with the indepth news coverage on this web site. Very informative.

 

Next stop is Vietnam.

 

I'm thinkin' more along the lines of Bangladesh. Vietnam has a growing tourist industry; they will want wage increases as soon as we set up shop. They'll probably go where the sweatshops are, by following the trail blazed by H&M, Nike, and Walmart.

 

Thanks Country Joe!!

 

Beautiful beaches.
