A Sign of the Times--Siemens to Layoff 17,000 Workers
Siemens, the Germany engineering, electronic and healthcare company is planning to layoff more than 17,000 workers worldwide. Although primarily known for its engineering and electronic products like cellphones, Siemans has a large healthcare practice primarily in medical devices and diagnostics. A good portion of the layoffs are likely to take place in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
The loss of this many jobs at one of the world's largest and most reputable companies may unfortuantely be a harbinger of things to come.
Until next time....
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!

day, my good friend Pete learned that he had prostate cancer. His prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were slightly elevated over the past few years (they were in a gray zone that made a definitive diagnosis difficult without doing a biopsy). After being urged by his wife and urologist, he had the biopsy performed and, unfortunately, a diagnosis of prostate cancer was made. Hopefully, his cancer is localized to the prostate and will be easily treated via conventional therapies. As many of you may know, prostate cancer is easily treat and the cure rates high if it is detected early.
