Way off base

I do not know where you get your information, but the financial situation within Carrier is not an imagined one. UTC has faced several tough quaters and has been forced to cut costs across the board. I am not familiar with the cases of waste you refer to, but doubt they are reliable stories as I know that strict cost saving rules have been put into effect limiting spending in many different areas, travel being a major one. As to the layoffs only removing dead weight from the company, I know that you are absolutely wrong in this assertion. Carrier Electronics was forced to make cuts that I know the managers did not want to make and that I know negatively impacted the ability for some areas to perform. The economic downturn is a reality and companies have to take some drastic steps to remain on top. UTC helps out a lot in their support and I do not think it is fair to go off on them as if they are just being cruel to FIRST. You need to back up your allegations rather than just spew rubbish. If it were not for UTC I know that team 535 would not exist or perform to the level that it does. I may have gotten a little out of my depth, but I do not believe what I have written is innaccurate. If it is or if there is something I have left out, perhaps Al can provide some more insight.
