SWP eliminates 350 jobs

[pandorazboxx]

I don't know if anyone saw this, http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-seaworld-layoffs-20101202,0,5393558.story

A little less than half of the eliminated jobs are in the Orlando market (SWO, DC, Aquatica). Anyone have any idea how the restructuring is affecting BGW?

The correct acronym is SEA.

Wouldn't it be SWP&E? SEA isn't even an acronym for anything.

There were 10 people from BGW laid off according to the VA Gazette.

Dang i hope there hiring when i try to get a job, its my dream.

Wow, those comments over there hurt my head.

 

[Griffon]

yea obvi it's SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. Plus, less than 2% of their workforce is peanuts. No worries. Most of the cuts were in SeaWorld anyhow....

If you heard that 1000 employees were laid off from a beer manufacturing company, wold you get mad? I doubt it. The fact the people get mad over this is that they see these people as part of a utopia that exists inside the parks. They don't like it when that is ruined by the real world, but 350 jobs isn't bad.

These are full time employees being cut. Not seasonal

Your right, it's actually an initialism... but those two tend to go hand in hand. In official company documents, they use SEA, SeaWorld, or SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment.

A ride Mechanic which breaks down some coaster trains during winter for rebuilds, or a lighting tech.

It's actually rather difficult to get full-time positions at Busch considering they never really have any openings. And most of the positions are filled with internal transfers.
