CX Redundancies

This unfortunate rumour is still doing the rounds, despite our firm rebuttal last month, so I will say it again – there is no plan for mass redundancies within the Cathay Pacific Group! We have gone to great lengths to keep the team together and it would not make much sense to break up the team at a time when it seems our business may be turning for the better.

SCMP today, 53 redundancies announced from CX.

53 sacked?! What implication does that have on the Cadet down in FTA in Australia? Last I have heard, there's 20+ cadet down there still doing their training.

[QUOTE]What implication does that have on the Cadet down in FTA /QUOTE]

None whatsoever, it seems.

Fifty-three employees in Cathay Pacific Airways (SEHK: 0293)' information management department will be made redundant in the coming months. A company spokesman said most of them had strengths and backgrounds that did not match the skills and backgrounds needed as part of a restructuring programme. They will receive redundancy packages exceeding those required by law, Cathay said.

ron burgandy,

Oops. I must have been mistaken and went to the Professional Management Rumour Network. How silly of me to thought of such absurd mindset!

Perhaps you should read the information on the company website before shooting from the hip.

I thought we professionals were supposed to gather information before carrying out any actions / opening mouth!

Glass half empty guys!

iceman,

Wind your neck in.

Posting facts is hardly shooting from the hip now is it...maybe you should take on some of your own advice.

As you are happy to quote the "company", then quote the SCMP perhaps you should also have quoted the company again concerning these redundancies!

You have obviously read the companies missive concerning publishing company information on a public website!

Iceman,

now you seem to be a very simple person, my thread is simple, cx said no layoffs and now they have laid off 53 people.

No matter how much spin or perfect presentation of my threads you would like to see the management have lied again. Not sure what you are bleeting at but I only posted a simple fact, something you can't grasp.

I hope they don't let you fly planes!!!!!!!

Quite right they never said no layoffs at all, just no mass redundancies. You're right badair, it is pretty simple but it seems to have got you all confused.

OK smart arse,

What's your definition of redundancies as opposed to MASS redundancies?????

I don't have one you need to ask CX. At a guess I wouldn't call 53 out of all the staff CX employs as MASS, would you?

I guess it wasn't a MASS firing of 51 pilots then, was it.

Bla Bla,

I agree,

It's amazing how people want to correct someone's spelling, punctuation and the way a post is presented etc.

I'll bow out of this one.

I must say I'm with badairsucker on this. It's just how you put it, 53 from the IT department is a mass, out of 10000 not. It's just how you see it.

I know how many make up a "Mass" - just as many months as there are in " approximately 18 "

Ask any SO if you don't get this.....
