List of US companies that have laid off employees - GoFuckYourself.com

seeric · 01-26-2009, 04:53 PM

Is anyone aware of a site or a resource that shows which US companies have issued layoffs since the economy has soured?

This could and I hope should include companies pulling their interests in the US like DHL.

I know the list is far more cumulative than just the layoffs that were announced today.

Home Depot 7k jobs lost
Caterpillar 20k jobs lost
John Deere 700 jobs lost
Sprint 8k jobs lost
GM 2k more jobs lost
Texas Inst. 3400 jobs lost
Microsoft
Intel

All announced layoffs today. There are many many more. I still haven't been able to locate a site that has them all as they pile up.

Anyone seen anything?

Thanks

Yeah it's Worldwide though. Not all USA. But a pretty good place to see the tech companies laying off.

McDonalds is expanding

My accountant says he is working thu-out weekends for his other clients to get approval to fire staff from most of his clients. Retail, wholesale, transport and production are hit hardest he says.

If we used the real numbers and not the odd ball adjusted to rules pulled out of politicians asses I am positive we are already way above 10%.

Does not seem like that includes everyone. Forget about the assorted small businesses and part time people. I do not see listing for like when Mervyns closed up shop (west coast based). Like a whole crap load of stores just went poof.

Yeah most of those look to be fortune 50 type co's. We'll probably see another 500k+ month like last. Next month when the retail chains have to start reporting their earnings is going to be the real bloodbath.

The malls here are not packed.
Also overheard more than one person in last couple months (since Christmas shopping) of comments like, "well ya I can afford it - I got a new credit card".

Meanwhile I pay my shit and they cut my damn limits.

I went to the local mall this weekend and it was packed. Had to wait in line at the food court and all.

I also went to a kids pizza place this weekend. It's one of those places where you eat and they have a huge play area. It was fucking packed. I mean it was packed so bad you couldn't get to the area where the food was.

V_RocKs · 01-26-2009, 07:04 PM

Doesn't take into account companies with smaller work forces that are therefor not required to publicize the layoffs. Many states and local municipalities have laws stating that layoffs of certain sizes or from companies of a certain size must inform them that they are about to get slammed by welfare and unemployment.

Think of the 100,000's of mom and pops that laid off 1 to 10 employees. Makes that number look small...

billyb · 01-26-2009, 09:00 PM

I don't know if that is true about the malls?, I just came back from two big malls here in the valley and they were very slow. I know it is a Monday, but there was hardly anyone there. I saw a lot of 50-70% off sales.

What I see happening here is if you have money, you are going to hold on to it. I think the days of going out and spending your money on non essential items are over. Unless your a porn chick who just got paid $2,000 for a shoot and now goes to Melrose Ave and buys a $2,000 purse

From the US Govt. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Quote:

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: DECEMBER 2008

Nonfarm payroll employment declined sharply in December, and the unemployment
rate rose from 6.8 to 7.2 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor reported today. Payroll employment fell by 524,000 over the
month and by 1.9 million over the last 4 months of 2008. In December, job losses
were large and widespread across most major industry sectors.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

In December, the number of unemployed persons increased by 632,000 to 11.1 mil-
lion and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent. Since the start of the reces-
sion in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has grown by 3.6 million,
and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points.

Good luck Mr. President, and to us all...

An article on yahoo news said this was the most layoffs since 1945. Now that is pretty scary

Thurbs · 01-26-2009, 10:11 PM

I wonder if anyone is thinking about Landscaping / Construction jobs, getting back to the real work that pays decent money and currently is in a large way going to the illegals that are willing to work.

We just have to much fluff jobs, and not enough real hard work going on.

This is a GOOD idea for a site that might BLOW UP with mainstream traffic. You may want to check fuckedcompany.com -- I haven't checked it in a while but it used to track tech companies. Techcrunch.com also has a dot com layoff counter.

However, since your idea is for ALL industries, you might want to build a site based on this, layer in social networking and forums so the members generate the content.

If you need help promoting it, I offer manual directory submissions, social bookmarking, article submissions, and mainstream forum seeding

jmcb420 · 01-27-2009, 01:34 AM

Yesterday in my area GM (general motors) went from 3 shifts to 1, Delphi (auto parts supplier) cut another 99 jobs on top of the hundreds they've already cut this year. A company called AJAX (the made specialty casts and dies) Got rid of half of their work force........and the worst sign of all, Jakes Bar, the local watering hole has closed their doors for the last time. When the bars start to close, your screwed.

I know it is a Monday, but there was hardly anyone there. I saw a lot of 50-70% off sales. What I see happening here is if you have money, you are going to hold on to it. I think the days of going out and spending your money on non essential items are over. Unless your a porn chick who just got paid $2,000 for a shoot and now goes to Melrose Ave and buys a $2,000 purse.

We just have to much fluff jobs, and not enough real hard work going on.

It is just very troubling times we are living in. I don't see a way out of this. This truly a global problem that we are facing now.

$5 submissions I help you SUCCEED Industry Role: Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: The Pearl of the Orient Seas Posts: 32,195	This is a GOOD idea for a site that might BLOW UP with mainstream traffic. You may want to check fuckedcompany.com -- I haven't checked it in a while but it used to track tech companies. Techcrunch.com also has a dot com layoff counter. However, since your idea is for ALL industries, you might want to build a site based on this, layer in social networking and forums so the members generate the content. If you need help promoting it, I offer manual directory submissions, social bookmarking, article submissions, and mainstream forum seeding __________________ Need a NON-ADULT income stream?

jmcb420 So Fucking Drunk Industry Role: Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 2,155	Yesterday in my area GM (general motors) went from 3 shifts to 1, Delphi (auto parts supplier) cut another 99 jobs on top of the hundreds they've already cut this year. A company called AJAX (the made specialty casts and dies) Got rid of half of their work force........and the worst sign of all, Jakes Bar, the local watering hole has closed their doors for the last time. When the bars start to close, your screwed. __________________ I'm funner than AIDS, and easier to explain to your parents.
