Here is a volunteer information list of all of the companies who are or who have given people notice that they will no longer have a job.

After the company name is the layoff date and the number of affected workers

Just so you can get a feel of how bad it is this is just for the first two months of 2009 (and February just started.) There are 19 pages of companies.

In 2006 there were only 24 pages for the entire year.
In 2008 44 pages.
At this rate we’ll have 120 pages of layoffs by the end of 2009. At about 40 companies per page the amount of job losses would be staggering.

13 thoughts on “La Crisis: A list of all the companies that have laid-off this year (the last six weeks.)”

  1. Wow! What a list!
    The economy is a really a house of cards, no?
    Actually I tend to think of the economy as one big church with money as a god and economists as priests. The way they keep telling us to have faith and keep changing their doctrine: “save money” “No, spend money!” I guess this is what happens when consumer spending is the only real thing keeping the US economy going – and that spending was fueled by money that didn’t exist (credit).
    When I was a little girl I asked my mom why we couldn’t have a world where money wasn’t needed at all and how I couldn’t understand how a piece of paper had any value. My mom told me: “mija, that’s communism.” 🙂

  2. That is a depressing list.

    It looks like the spray-painting sign painters of California are also hurting:

    “ALZA CORPORATION MOUNTAIN VIEW 29 3/20/09”

    -Who knew?

  4. I see my employer listed, hmmmmmm. But so far my division won’t be hit. Luckily I’m not in the “airplane” div……..

  5. Hey thanks browne for linking to my blog and my post.

    Its like we want to know, but we really rather not know. Its that voyeur in all of us. Sooner rather than later.
    But it is better to be proactive than reactive.

  6. “The way they keep telling us to have faith and keep changing their doctrine: “save money” “No, spend money!” Chimatli

    I like how the media is now chanting this “spending is thrifty” mantra. After telling people to spend, spend, spend.

    I was watching Good Morning America, just happened upon it and I never watch TV or have access, but a day or so before I put up this post they had this young old couple or old middle aged couple on.

    The couple had a house, but they lost it. They where currently living in a storage room, with no bathroom. They had to shower at the gym. They were in their late 50s and Good Morning America was trying to put a happy spin on this shit, like this was ok. Saying things like, “Joe Smith has lost twenty pounds since he started living in a storage room with his wife and that means he’s more healthy.”

    And they weren’t trying to be funny, they were completely serious and I wonder, what in the hell has happened to the American public. Have we always been this gullible and stupid or is this some kind of a new thing.

    I just want to smack people over the head. I am not economist and I saw the writing on the wall in 2007 and everyone told me I was crazy and to shut-up…anyways the media I don’t get them. I completely understand why no one reads print anymore. At least in LA.

    Browne

  8. I really haven’t noticed the term McMedia being used that widely. I don’t even know if I necessarily believe that one form of media is more “mcmedia” than the other. The internet is becoming “mcmedia.” there was a time when this was not the case, but most bigger sites and even some smaller ones are run by people in public relations, marketing and other brainwashing types of industries.

    The internet in some ways is worse, because people try to give you this impression that they are just a random person when more often than not they are not just random people. They are people who work in music, movies, real estate and part of their job is to plug what they do, but do it in this random person kind of away, which is extremely unethical.

    There are no ethics in the blogosphere and that’s a problem and the most respected and biggest blogs on the internet are in general the most unethical.

    Browne

  9. Large amounts of people give input on things they feel passionately for and against…it’s tempting to use that info for market research. But they can’t put the Pepsi challenge online.

    The internet knows you. I wouldn’t be surprised that when you move from, say youtube, to facebook, facebook stores your clickstream from that previous site.

    The TV knew you to a certain degree. The big difference here is that you are directly interacting with McMedia. You’re only hope is being a weirdo. Or going out to get some sun…yuck.

  10. I think the internet lead to this “hyper” capitalism that is (or has) destroyed the economy.

    I do believe as you said they do directly track what we look at. The problem is that while it can predict these short term interests, it fails to predict the future in a longterm way. In fact the internet has fostered this “fuck the longterm future” mentality. While it is all about the next thing, its next thing are like a teenage boy looking at a woman with big boobies. It’s like the internet and the new marketing is stuck in 14 year old boy zone and the consumers seemed to be getting trapped into this mindset, because consumers are also afraid to be left behind.

    The internet uses our immediate urges to make these big market decisions and that’s not good.

    Just because one night I get bored and click on ten sex sites doesn’t mean I’m a sex fiend, it could just be that one particular night I found that interesting, but the internet and these new marketing people don’t seem to get that and they seem more scared to not predict the next thing than to be wrong. They are like people with digital cameras just snapping away, yeah if you take a million pictures one of them will be good, but if you just slowed down you probably could have gotten five good pictures.

    The most cool people now are the people who aren’t cool. The internet has created this sort of hipster dork that wears the right clothes, does the right drugs, listens to the right music, but is a total freakin tool.

    Browne

  11. I tried to go back to the link of all of these job losses and for some reason it says my PDF software is out of date…wasn’t out of date last week when I put this post up.

    The internet is a great way to control people.

    Browne

  13. Actually, it’s most of the so called “trusted” sources of information that are rubbish. It’s up to each individual person to use their own common sense and do their own fact checking. And, on that note, anyone with a brain would outright avoid a commercial cable news network that calls itself “fair and balanced”.
