Kettering news
For folks interested in Kettering life ...
The crisis at GM finally hit Kettering today. 103 out of 173 co-op students will be laid off between now and June. 28 will be graduating in 2009 and will be allowed to finish; 42 students from critical skill areas will be retained. (The layoffs are about 5% of our student body.)
This isn't a surprise to anyone; Kettering has been trying to diversify its employer base for years now, and contingency plans are going into effect to try and place those students. Still, it's disheartening.
[And not to gloat, but it's a nice time to be in a degree program and an industry that is growing.]
Current Mood:  sad

| | OH HARSH. (Though I have to say, the whole crisis has made me very grateful that I got out of the auto industry when I did.)
At least the graduating students will be allowed to finish. ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/72470976/1384817) | | From: | ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) tukaro |

I saw the e-mail. I'm trying to remember how many fraternity brothers I have that co-op there.
Tough times. |
