Ever since Jim Cronin moves away, E&I product area seems doomed. The Sr. Management is incompetent.

I’ve heard from several supervisors that there’s a round 2 coming in February.

Been hearing about all these layoffs, and right before the holiday. Truly sad. Was wondering if anyone has heard whispers of layoffs in E&I? I know we have lost a lot of business and the workload is way down. Definitely makes us nervous.

Why dont they have one big layoff and get over with this. I am sick and tired of cuts every month or two - it's k–ling morale.
