Western Operator In Trouble?!?

[T-rex]

I heard a bad rumor, rumor only... that a large western Canada operator has filed for 'chapter11' protection, and the sheriff is knocking on the door! I will not mention any names, but has anyone else heard this?

Alberta or BC?

mmmm....juicy 😀

I hope it's somebody with a dominant presence, it'd make it all the more fun.

Don't see anyone unwanted banging at our door. :blink:

 

[MagSeal]

don't worry, new coveralls, new paint, new stickers for the toolbox.....everyone keeps working

 

[Mole]

Mag,
Don't you mean new vinyl name decals and a good waxing? 😀

Oh come on and spill it, T-Rex!

I'm glad rex never spilt the beans . gives us a chance to play the rhyme game and my guess would rhyme with mootang. My reason being, there playing the seismic game.

Picapart Normally I don't like playing the ryhme game but just this once I don't think it will ryhme with mootang . they may be playing the sesmic game but I hear 😀 they already own all the bags! This morning I had a call from a well placed industry insider and he advised that the company that's going down is...... oh oh the wife just came in and the girlfriend is still upstairs ... more important things to deal with at the moment!! Will get back to you when I CAN

can we play this like charades???

3 words....first word starts with.....

 

[MagSeal]

you know...just a thought...407Driver has been awefully quiet lately, brushing up the resume???...maybe spending alot of time at the employment office.....

Just kidding 407D, we know you wouldn't need to call anyone for a job, they're all knocking on your door.

No problems Maggie, I have a lot of good offers on the table at any given time. If the Intrawest deal goes sour, I'm already looked after. Perhaps a nice low time B2 or L4 is in my future? One thing is for certain, it won't have the flying crow on the side ever again 😛 maybe "LG Limited" and I can go into business like Cam and Zonk did :blink:

 

[PIC]

407 Driver, why haven't you ever started your own company after all these years at the same place? You could be retired by now...

 

[MagSeal]

"Zonk"...there's a guy I haven't heard from in a coons age....I assume he's still doing well for himself.

How is this rumour progressing anyway? Anyone working for the company in question have any comments? I can just imagine all the companies computers being used right now searching the internet for new jobs, printing out new resumes, etc.


(Related thought...does anyone have any hypothetical answers as to how many CHL computers at any given time are being used by employees to actively find work elsewhere??? 10% 20%, maybe even 90%???)
