Restructuring





































How do you lay off people in there 60's ? That is horrible! Shame on you!
Without severance or signing a release?????? That's good HR policy right there...going to save the company LOTS of money and it's very positive publicity for the company too! I am sure their friends (our client base) are going to select out product when considering treatment options. Why do you need me - the word of mouth sales are going to be at an all time high! Go team!
 












As a former, long-term OI employee, once known as "King Graftskin", I am deeply saddened to hear of the fate of the company and the plight of the employees. It's a shame the owners (A&E) didn't learn anything from the first "march to bankruptcy". There was such promise in the technology, and the potential cost-savings by automation and product sizing options, it would be tragic to lose it all due to "Obamacare". Here's hoping the good folks in the clean rooms and Big Phil can come up with a way to make the product "market-viable" once again.

Phil is the only thing that is right about the Leadership Team. The only one of them that cares about the employees. He is kind, compassionate, selfless, and not willing to sacrifice his employees to line his pockets.
 


















Why is it a big secret from the press how many layoffs there are and are going to be? Hmmmmm....

If your really in the sales team and you don't know the answer to this question, then your an idiot. How did you survive the layoff. Use your head. Why would OI announce numbers to the competition? Competition is publicly traded - they have to announce their numbers. Is a competitive advantage you dolt.
 






Well, we did a press release every time we planned to hire more. I'd think that would be of use to competitors too. Bad news gets hidden at OI. Although will be hard to spin the "successful turnaround" story with a straightface.

Don't all orgs put out press release when they hire or have good news? You are adorable. Welcome to the real world youngster. Let me clean some of the dew off yoru eyes.

Phil is the best thing that has ever happened to Oi. He turned the company around after going bankrupt and now sadly has to watch this all unfold prior to his retirement. Other leaders within the company should learn from him. He treats everyone as family and cares deeply about each and every person. He would be the first person to give up his paycheck in order to help others. No one deserves to retire more than Phil, however, his absence will be felt company wide.
 






About a year and half ago I was laid off from KCI. This site started to have a lot of chatter and I thought...nah couldn't be me....I'm a top performer ... t's probably all internet bullshit. This situation seems similar.

You get an invite to a conference call. It's your boss and HR. I was laid flat on my ass July 12th 2011. It took one conference call and a trip to the UPS store to ship my shit back. Then it was done. Then you're looking. in a world with a lot of people looking...Get on linked in... Back up all your contacts...call your old friends...check your non-compete and good luck.
 






I knew something was up when two extra security guards were added two weeks ago.

Look at everyone making over $90,000 and fire half of them. Production needs to be cut back by 30%, QA and HR need to be reduced 50%.

I am glad I left there 3 years ago...

If you left 3 years ago how would you know anything about extra security guards on the property?
