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。1 n: C; _  G7 c5 ~0 g
   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”。
. D# W: k8 T, k  s; S   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。
8 v/ e0 r( o6 g: y2 @, Y4 S   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。

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。
