Unisys Corp. said today that it will cut 950 jobs, expanding layoffs that began last year and eliminated 5,600 positions. The Blue Bell seller of computer servers and consulting services also reported a small first-quarter profit as it continues to cut costs and move jobs to less-costly countries such as India

Any nostalgia?

I just wish the local, state and federal governments would have announcements like this. Big government layoffs would do wonders for the economy and the taxpayers wallets.

Any nostalgia?

Interviewed there once. Mid '80's. Land of the living dead.

Good. Sooner or later, domestic competition will rise and defeat them.

My dad worked there in the early 90s.

Unisys still exists? Who knew?

Haven't heard of them in a while, didn't even know they were still around.

Checked out the Wiki on them as a starting point.

I says they did $5.7 Billion in revenue in 2005. Wow.

I went from thinking they weren't around anymore to 5.7 Bu-bu-bu-BILLION (2006).

I also noticed, on the last line of the Wiki, that they have:

"a 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign for its policies regarding LGBT employees.[8]"

Well, looks like they've been fully infiltrated by the homoagenda 5th column. Corporate enforced perversion. Not a place I'd ever want to work.

It's just me, but I also wouldn't want to work at any company that posts their current stock price on their own web pages.

Posting revenue I can see, but stock price tells me they're more worried about the quality of the perception of their product, as opposed to the actual quality of the product. I bet a lot of the vested employees have the stock page bookmarked, counting the days until retirement.

I don't remember what the story was, maybe it was something I read in the Philly papers when I lived there, but I decided I didn't like Unisys a long time ago anyway.

Unisys will cut 950 additional jobs...good - maybe they'll stop sending me weekly statements showing services about which I know nothing, supposedly delivered under my provider number - either s bad computer glitch or somebody making fraudulent claims - since this is NJ, I'm betting on the latter......
