Monster staff being devoured
Posted by Fired Fred on July 30, 2007 4:47 PM
Monster had its own Nightmare On Wall Street after their numbers made investors very sad. But don't worry, they're going to fix things faster than you can say, "how sweet, fresh meat"...
Monster expects the job cuts to save as much as $170 million a year. The company will spend up to $80 million to upgrade technology, such as software that lets employers place more ads without help, to rekindle growth in North American job listings, its largest business, Chief Executive Officer Sal Iannuzzi said.I loved the next quote from some stock analyst. He said Monster had its worst growth in several years this past quarter, while the economy was booming along. That ain't a good thing.
If this was NFL training camp, Monster would be getting a visit from The Turk. "Sorry man, your ass is cut, hand in your playbook." Speaking of cuts, I'm betting no executives get the Freddy Krueger treatment when Monster starts slaying-off (see what I did there?) workers.
Some smart competitor ought to take advantage of this, and have something like a Monster Refugee promotion. If only there was a job search site with millions of listings and a cheeky attitude who could whip up a bunch of t-shirts and try this, I bet it would be pretty cool.
(Lucas, that last bit was aimed at you. Come on dude, this is tailor-made, gift-wrapped, silver platter gift horse riding in and making wee-wee on your carpet. It's not like you're busy blogging.)
These job sites are created so employers can reach cheap labor such as H-1B.

Many groups have exposed the truth like zazona.com and WehireillegalAliens.com.The Tech Bubble made many job sites rich because of all the desperate job seekers. The job sites had mostly jobs for imported workers so now Americans have gotten wise and refuse to give them money for services.
