I've been around a long time and I've not heard of these branches closing. Last figures I saw an our annual meeting show Germany doing well. They were not losing money at all.... or worried.
I know sometimes we've opened offices where it turned out it wasn't an ideal location and we've had to move them. Could this be the case? OR could we be consolidating a couple that are really small and could be costing a lot of cash for rent? Maybe they are consolidating. I'd like to hear from the so called people who were laid off...
