Looks to me like at least some of those 350 people losing their jobs won't have any choice but to try the dole...:groan:

The one thing that may be a bittersweet positive is the fact that it looks like most of the job losses will occur in an election year...

I though F&P were an innovative company. A company either has to compete with other companies on price, or on innovations and providing something that competitors don't offer eg. a niche product.
It appears that F&P are now just going to be a cut price provider of whiteware. The public are also to blame, as people will now often just buy the cheapest product, no matter what brand it is or where it is made.

Possibly go run a help desk in India instead.

Who knows?
