Practically NO layoffs in Ireland. Just 5; in comparison with the 155 here. Those corporate people in Ireland need to keep their jobs!!! Layoff the R&D and other folks here, but HR and Corporate need to be unaffected in their ivory towers!
 






From a legal standpoint it’s more difficult to lay off Irish employees. It’s pretty clear this was a scramble to get done after the board meeting but before earnings. There simply wasn’t time to hit Ireland in the same way they hit the US.

Doesn’t say much for the state of our leadership that they couldn’t get their shit together enough to fire people in some rational fashion. I’ll get my bonus and hit the road. Suggest you do the same.
