Universal’s Re-Engineering Is Heartwarming . . . Not
It’s nice to see that Universal Studios--the company that paid Sylvester Stallone $20 million to appear in the blockbuster that was “Daylight”--is continuing its daring and imaginative rethinking of its business by laying off 115 low-level employees--or “overhead”--whose services are not as valuable to the company as Stallone’s (“Universal Trims 115 Jobs in Cost-Cutting Move,” July 17).
In fact, it’s downright heartwarming to see that, to the senior executives at Universal, “re-engineering” is more than just a buzzword. I’m sure their parents must be so proud.
