^ Advertising has been in a decline a while now. the largest customer is the state sector and they have cut back.

granted that's true, but why would you want to take away your entire portfolio from a LOCAL company and give it to a foreign company? In a time of economic hardships should the state encourage companies to do that? Its exactly why Trinidad is in this mess and continues to get worse daily.

Can you clarify, if it's over 5 employees being axed they MUST report it, what is the smart thing they trying? Only other option is to close up shop :?:

Despite facing the problem of a 20 per cent absenteeism rate in T&T, business process outsourcing provider iQOR is confident that the T&T market remains a lucrative one.
Last Friday, director of operations at iQOR with responsibility for providing customer care for Metro PCS Brian Henderson, as well as John Swain, director of operations at iQOR with responsibility for providing customer service to 1-800-flowers, toured iQOR's new Barataria office facilities along with Minister of Trade and Industry Paula Gopee-Scoon.

According to Swain the rate of absenteeism in T&T was almost five times greater than what obtained in other territories in which the company operates

Thursday was the last day for workers at the Tourism Development Corporation.

The Communications Workers Union says workers employed through recruiting agencies for TSTT are being sent home despite government's promise of no more retrenchment. They are calling on the government to keep its promise to workers.

The Communication Workers Union is seeking an injunction against state owned TSTT. This is to prevent them from sending home just over 100 workers.

100 TSTT employees sent home.

Just noticed that National Cinema in San Fernando has closed down. So sad that my favorite cinema and most likely the cheapest one in Trinidad has shutdown. More workers on the breadline.
I guess they couldn't compete with de big boys...

President of the Public Services Association (PSA) Watson Duke yesterday threatened to take legal action against the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) following the sudden dismissal of six permanent workers from the State-owned company.

The dismissal came six weeks after Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and several union bodies agreed to a moratorium on State sector retrenchments until December 2017.

Reason I asked is I have a former coworker who left here to go Pereira and Co and remained there till today. Will message him and see what going on.

But that market is tight though. Competition is stiff with a fair amount of players for our relatively small size and the biggest consumer (GORTT has significantly lessened their spend)

A co-worker by me, his wife left her job and went Massy Tech Applied Imaging within the last year. She got axed, as they may have
took a last in-first out kind of approach.
