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。
& Y+ G* ]! h+ w! M- a8 \   Hunt表示，作为Finning主要收入来源的油砂工程频频被推迟和取消，但这并不是裁员的原因。他还说Finning没有受到经济危机的影响，只是在一些地区销售量出现下滑。他补充说，他们会继续注意形势的变化，但“我们不敢说裁员已经结束了”。
+ m2 c* D6 N$ `& D5 d$ @: T   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。
   据统计，Finning三季度的净收入为64，800，000美元，而去年同期仅为63，600，000美元；收入是14.6亿美元，去年是13.3亿。新设备和发动机的销售上升了12%，客服收入上涨了15%。订货额也有所增加，创下了20亿美元的新纪录，“这为2009年乃至2010年提供了良好收入前景，”Waites这样说道。

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。

Finning Canada has laid off 160 salaried staff in Alberta and B.C. as sales of Caterpillar equipment slows in the economic downturn.

Mike Waites, CEO of Vancouver-based parent company Finning International Inc., recently lowered the 2008 earnings guidance due to a slowdown in some of its businesses in Western Canada and the United Kingdom.

Demand for new equipment will likely soften and some purchases may be deferred, but that will result in an increase in its parts and service business - Finning's most profitable business - he said.

Finning reported third-quarter net income of $64.8 million compared to $63.6 million for the same quarter last year. Revenues were a record $1.46 billion, compared to $1.33 billion a year before.

Its order backlog has also grown to a new record of $2 billion, dominated by mining equipment, "and provides good revenue visibility for 2009 and into 2010," Waites said.
