And another act of treason
AP news item:
Short of analyst expectations.
Therefore 5000 real people lose their jobs.
If this makes sense to you, please kill yourself now. ¶ 4:13 AM
[Treasonous] Appliance maker Whirlpool Corp. says it will cut 5,000 jobs in an effort as it faces soft demand and higher costs for materials.
The jobs to be cut are mostly in North America and Europe. They include 1,200 salaried positions and the closing of the company's Fort Smith, Ark., plant.
The company expects the moves will save $400 million by the end of 2013.
Whirlpool also says its third-quarter net income more than doubled to $177 million, or $2.27 per share, from $79 million, or $1.02 per share. Adjusted earnings of $2.35 per share fell short of analyst expectations for $2.75 per share.
