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。

   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。

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。
