There's lot's of stiff competition out there, but I nominated Intel Corp. Hey, if all laid off employees at Intel decide to vote, Intel managers are a shoe-in...
Oregonian:
(Layoff #'s: 10,000+)
"Intel says it's not done reorganizing, and nearly all industry watchers agree more job cuts are on the way. Estimates run as high as 15,000, but others expect the number to be much smaller."Although Intel wouldn't provide the job titles of any workers being laid off, there are apparently no top-level executives among them. That frustrated laid-off workers I spoke with on Friday. They complained that the people whose leadership put Intel in a tough spot dodged the ax, which fell instead on the rank and file.
Many former Enron employees may recognize the way top managers are protected, no matter how much damage they do...
