| Cheap yet expensive If Nadir Mohamed took a 2 Million dollar paycut (down to *gasp* 6.18 million) he could probably save all of these jobs and open up a couple more callcentres to boot.
If there's one good thing about this, it's that they're not getting any of my money.

Yea I don't think so. If you only wanted to save the next 400 from getting laid off you would need a hell of a lot more than $2M dollars. Lets assume the average salary is 35K before taxes. 400x35000=$14M. If you wanted to save the 300 before that as well 700x35K=$24.5M. That's not taking into account any type of health care or other expenditures that goes along with keeping an employee on the payroll. |

The average salary is most likely well below 35K/year and aside from group dental and prescription coverage there are no other health care costs to cover. Still, your point stands, albeit your numbers are a bit by by a few million bucks. |

You are correct, my math is wrong.
However, at 2 million he'd be saving 57 jobs, and Rogers doesn't offer any type of health benefits to their call center staff (they tried to recruit me in 2007 so I have some knowlege of their entry level offerings)
My opinion of Nadir remains; by your math if they just got rid of him, they'd save 251 jobs. (8.8 mil/35k = 251)
Fire the CEO, save the company... or at least make it so the company can support the business they already have...

In 2007 they attempted to recruit me at $15.68/hour with no benefits... that probably gives you a rough idea of how much they're spending on wages.
It's the bare minimum that's for sure.

I think since Nadir took over the company has been getting worse and worse..
Though, I do think that when companies lay off employees that government should tax them higher , since they are putting more into the unemployment figures and EI applications! |

This wasn't just frontline workers they let go, six-figure management types went down too. |

I realize "six-figure-management-types" have families too, but their landings are gonna be much gentler than the 30-35k types that just got canned.
