I learned from my HR manager today that we will be laying off hundreds of people in The US and began preparing us for the conversations.

-
Anne McEntee destroyed this business and she gets to destroy a new services business
-
Paris HQ is artificially a ‘lean’ HQ because they bury cost in this business.
-
HQ is trying to survive as a location by consolidating operations. However, it’s led by someone who bankrupted the Alstom Renewable business
