Sharp Overwhelmed By Volunteers For Early Retirement

jfruh writes "Sharp, the Japanese LCD supplier in dire financial straits, is trying to cut staffing by offering an early retirement package. Unfortunately, it seems Sharp employees are eager to abandon a sinking ship. The company was planning on cutting its headcount by about 2,000 employees with the move; instead, it had to cut short the program after getting nearly 3,000 applicants."

Aww

Beats the hell out of getting a pink slip and nothing from the deal.

So you're saying that Sharp has...sharp employees?

I am not worried about Asian dominance in business. I hear they are sending all their best and brightest to American business schools.

I told you, we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting.
