Heard today that there was a major layoff of HR, Finanace and IT in Maryville, MO. I know this is true but not sure how many and exactly what departments were impacted. Everything is going to the outsourcing world there. Chesterfield wasn't impacted at all. Twenty one DSRD folfs leaving Groton this week, all are saying good bye through email.

Take Notice that the Beckman Coulter 2009 layoffs are not triggering the State Employment Development Department Warn (Workers Act Retraining Notification) Notices in Florida or California. Management is timing Layoff's as to not trigger any required public notification. In addition, employees whose jobs are going to Indianapolis are being given layoff notices that have a "future" date.
