Terrible news. Thoughts with all affected by this. Bad for the town as well.

I work for a vending machine supplier, we didn't know, how very thoughtful of them. It's not just 800 jobs, it's the ramifications thereby, the multiplier effect. Jeez, just when you thouight things were sailing along nicely.
Sorry to hear of your impending job loss but don't try and mitigate from the shock this will cause to many people.

If its 800 in Honda, there will be at least another 800 from the supporting industries around the town.

My mate who works for them has seen this coming, they're just not selling many of any of the new models.

Quite right, and people who are barely above minimum wage who are now likely to be fired  Honda is one of our major contracts. |

I was told that most of these loses were the staff they took on last year. The new Civic hasn't proved very popular (his exact words were it's crap!). |

Bad news all round. Suppose the warning signs were there when they went onto short shifts but for it to happen so soon after taking on 500 is unfortunate.

I don't mind admitting, I do a very menial job, go from place to place filling up vending machines, but this is a big contract which will go to nothing. I think my job is in great jeopardy like a poster has said. Big implications.
