Redundancy

I was really shocked to hear that Airbus is going to lay off 1600 workers throughout the UK and thousands across Europe. I don't know why are they going to do that. I mean, they are doing good in their orders but what has gone wrong?

To answer this question, I think it is best to ask someone who is capable of answering this question, or even thoer people who are involved in the decision making of laying off workers. Sadly, I do not have access to the said person.

However, I do have access to those people who are working with Airbus. One of them whom I am not going to name, is willing to share his problems with me. He told me that he escaped retrenchment as was lucky. The root of them problem is actually the failure Airbus to produce the A380 on time.

As you all know, the Airbus A380 involves many countries and Airbus relied on all the countries to build the A380. If one country could not produce a successful part for the plane, the whole project will fail. That is why co=operation is so important.

Apparently, the A380 is doing well but they are waiting for their German counterpart to supply the elctronics but it was incompatible with the French system so... The A380 project had to be delayed. This is a costly exercise...

It is a sad day for Airbus indeed...
