Kansas City Job Cuts!!! The Sprint Center might soon need a new name!!! And the economy is only getting worse!!!
What happened? I thought once Obama was
Local economic news to start off the work week looks like the recession is turning into an outright Depression and hopes that Kansas City would escape the financial carnage that's devastating the rest of the world now seem childish.
Word is Sprint is going to cut at least 1,800 jobs in the Kansas City area.
Home Depot is in worse shape than the Mexicans who wait outside the place for work.
And it's very cloudy and cold . . .
Meanwhile . . . Most of the economic talk I've heard from elected leaders mentions nothing but gloomy news, few ideas, bitter reaction to criticism and a surprising lack of details.
Natch.

ReplyDeleteI thought once Obama was elected President everything was going to be okay.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA SO ORIGINAL!!!!
Has Dan Hesse taken a paycut?
ReplyDeleteHave Dan Hesse's options been repriced at the lower value of today's stock price or is he stuck like the rest of us with the original strike price??? The original deal gave him the chance to make a big score as long as the shareholders did well also. We will see what the Sprint Board of Directors comes up with... they haven't done anything good for their shareholders in a decade or two, I would be surprised if they didn't lower his strike price and reward him for failure.
ReplyDeleteGloomy news, few ideas, bitter reaction to criticism and a surprising lack of details.

Anon 5:13 p.m. Aren't those all the reasons why we love TKC? ;)
It will now be called the "Hi, May I help you?" center.
ReplyDeleteAt least our mayor wasn't buttslamming some underage office aide and now refusing to leave office like in Portland Oregon.
ReplyDeleteSee how good we've got it?
