年亏1.86亿 飞利浦裁员六千

欧洲国家荷兰的两大跨国企业宣布大裁员。荷兰保险公司ING宣布裁员7千人，集团总裁辞职；而荷兰的家电巨头飞利浦也宣布全球裁员计划，受影响员工多达6000名，占了员工总数近5%。目前还不清楚飞利浦在新加坡的业务是否也受影响。

家电巨头飞利浦，星期一宣布将在今年内裁退6000名员工。全球经济放缓导致飞利浦2008年的业绩出现赤字，净亏损高达1亿8600万欧元，相等于3亿 6000万新元。公司第四财季的亏损，更是高达14亿7000万欧元，或是28亿5000万新元，这主要因为旗下的发光二极管产品重新估价导致的。

飞利浦在全球聘用超过12万名员工；除了日用电器，公司也制造医疗器材，而它去年全年的产品销量下降1.5%，第四季度销量跌幅还高达8.9%。

在新加坡，飞利浦公司刚在一个月前，裁退大约100名员工。

Search: Finance crisis claims government, 85,000 jobs

AFP - Tuesday, January 27

NEW YORK (AFP) - - Companies forecast more than 85,000 job cuts in a single day as the rampant financial crisis hit workers in factories and offices across the globe and brought down a government on Monday.

In a sign of the deepening social impact of the US-born crisis, several companies announced an avalanche of cuts, piling pressure on US President Barack Obama as he pushes a stimulus plan for the world's biggest economy.

The financial catastrophe also claimed a scalp as Iceland's Prime Minister Geir Haarde announced the resignation of his government after months of protests over economic policies that brought the country close to bankruptcy.

Obama warned the recession-hit United States could not afford delays in Congress over his 825-billion-dollar (630-billion-euro) stimulus plan.

He called for "swift and extraordinary" action, after earlier saying the downturn could get "dramatically worse."

In New York, construction equipment giant Caterpillar said it planned 20,000 job cuts worldwide to cope with plunging sales.

New York-based drug maker Pfizer announced it would acquire its rival Wyeth for 68 billion dollars, the largest pharmaceutical takeover deal in nearly a decade amid a dearth of corporate dealmaking due in part to a credit squeeze.

It said it would also cut its global workforce by around 10 percent -- meaning at least 8,000 posts cut in a company that currently employs almost 82,000 people in more than 150 countries.

General Motors announced plans Monday to cut 2,000 jobs at two US plants as it prepares to submit a long-term viability plan in exchange for billions in loans from the US government.

US telecom operator Sprint Nextel announced 8,000 cuts -- 14 percent of its staff -- and top US home improvement retailer Home Depot said it would cut 7,000.

Japan's top 12 automakers expect to cut a total of 25,000 jobs between now and the end of March, a survey by Jiji Press concluded on Monday.

Dutch banking and insurance group ING announced 7,000 job cuts and a deal for the Dutch state to guarantee billions of euros' worth of troubled assets.

Dutch electronics giant Philips said it would eliminate 6,000 jobs.

The announcements by the two Dutch companies came ahead of confirmation that Europe's second-biggest steelmaker, Indian-owned Corus, said it would cut more than 3,500 jobs around the world, most of them in Britain.

Workers arriving early Monday were gloomy about their prospects. "People feel gutted. I have already had to take a 10 percent pay cut," said 45-year-old Douglas Mayhill, a worker at a Corus plant in Port Talbot, southern Wales.

"I was told on Friday I have a choice -- either accept a 10 percent pay cut or take redundancy -- that is no choice."

The US Congress was meanwhile due to begin debate this week on Obama's stimulus bill, designed to haul the US economy out of a paralysing recession.

In his first presidential radio address at the weekend, Obama raised the spectre of double-digit unemployment and a massive erosion of family incomes if Congress did not act on the bill.

Obama was to meet later this week with Republican leaders hostile to the bill. The lower House of Representatives was expected to vote Wednesday on the stimulus, with the Senate to follow later.

European shares surged on Monday however with sharp gains in the banking sector on positive news from British group Barclays, whose share price surged more than 75 percent on unexpectedly strong profit expectations, analysts said.

London closed 3.86 percent higher, Paris added 3.73 percent and Frankfurt climbed 3.54 percent.

US stocks opened narrowly mixed with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.25 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq edged up 0.08 percent.

给你生活的忠告 tips for life

给你生活的忠告: 多吃些粗粮. 给别人比他们自己期许的更多，并且用心去做 熟记你喜欢的诗歌 不要轻信你听到的每件事，不要花光你的所有，不要想睡多久就睡多久。 无论何时说“我爱你”，请真心实意。 无论何时说“对不起”，请看着对方的眼睛。 相信一见钟情。 永远不要忽视别人的梦想。 深情热烈地爱，也许你会受伤，但这是使人生完整的唯一方法。 用一种明确的方法解决争议，不要冒犯。 永远不要以貌取人。慢慢地说，但要迅速地想。 当别人问你不想回答的问题时，笑着说“你为什么想知道？” 记住那些敢于承担最大风险的人才能得到最深的爱和最大的成就。 给妈妈打电话。如果不行，至少在心里想着她。 当别人打喷嚏时，说一声“菩萨保佑”。 如果你失败了，千万不要忘记汲取教训。 记住三个“尊”：尊重你自己；尊重别人；保持尊严，对自己的行为负责。 不要让小小的争端损毁了一段伟大的友谊。 无论何时你发现自己做错了，竭尽所能去弥补。动作要快！ 无论什么时候打电话，摘起话筒的时候请微笑，因为对方能感觉到！ 找一个你爱聊的人结婚 ， 因为当年龄大了以后，你会发觉喜欢聊天是一个人最大的优点。 找点时间，单独呆会儿。 欣然接收改变，但是不要摒弃你的个人理念。 记住，沉默是金。 多看点书，少看点电视。 过一种高尚而诚实的生活。当你年老时回想起过去，你就能再一次享受人生。 相信上帝，但是别忘了锁门。 家庭的融洽氛围是难能可贵的。 尽你的全力让家平顺和谐。 当你和你亲近的人吵嘴的时候，试着就事论事，不要扯出那些陈芝麻，烂谷子的事。 不要摆脱不了昨天。 多注意言下之意。 和别人分享你的知识，那才是永恒之道！ 善待我们的地球。 不要愚弄自然母亲。 忙自己该做的事。 不要相信接吻时从不闭眼的伴侣。 每年至少去一个你从没去过的地方。 如果你赚了很多钱，在活着的时候多行善事。这是你能得到的最好回报。 记住有时候，不是最好的收获也是一种好运。 深刻理解所有的规则，合理地更新他们。 记住：最好的关系存在于对别人的爱胜于对别人的索求之上。 回头看看你发誓取得的目标，然后评判你到底有多成功。 无论是烹调还是爱情，都用百分之百的负责态度对待，但是不要期求太多的回报。

Oh yeah must indicate: 20 Sept 2008, went to Orchid Country Club with Eileen and Yow for blood donation. I was rejected as I went back to BP. The new rule about Chikungunya was that if anyone stayed in the places where there were outbreak of Chikungunya, he must defer for 14 days before he donates blood.
死不甘心，went to Paya Lebar Kovan Community Centre to ask and still rejected. I already defer for 13 days, and JUST 1 MORE DAY, they didnt allow me to donate my blood. The next day all the mobile blood drive were very far away... :(

As I forecast my bz schedule after returning from US training as well as my NTU examinations was around the corner, I went to Jean Yip to have my hair cut. Under recommendations from Celine, I had a promotional price from the hairstylist. (uh- oh, sorry I forgot your name ONCE AGAIN). Quite satisfied with the hairstyle.
I had grumbled about this at the LINK HERE

Then I went for my blood donation. This day there was only a few ppl went for blood donation. So I informed Celine. After finished the blood donation, Celine wanted to join me, I waited for her. I accompanied her and chated with her. She immediately went back to work as she received a call from her supervisor, asking her to go back to work..

In the end, she didnt able to donate blood. what a pity....

I had posted about this blood donation at the LINK HERE

Had my hair cut @ Jean Yip..

Finally I can ”吐血“ 哈哈。(only my colleagues know why I said so)

** wanted to help out at the blood donation drive @ Hougang. Everything was coordinated well with the staff. However, when I reached there, the person-in-charge said he gave away the last piece of XL shirt.. No more shirt for me, so I can't help out.. In the end, I went back home...

!! I specially went back home earlier from company (was working OT), took bath and went there to help.. sigh.... what a pity!!!
