Indirectly, SPANSION employees are receiving a whooping 50% pay cut!! The reason is that the employees are "asked" to take paid/unpaid leave for every 2 weeks in a single month which translates to a 50% cut if they don't have any annual leave left. Look at the stock chart above and you will know the how the current economic crisis is ravaging this company.

Dude...u might wanna reconfirm ur information on the 50% pay cut aka 2 weeks unpaid per month coz :
1stly, spansion malaysia provide a 50% unpaid cost born by the company. Meaning if ur to take 1 day of unpaid leave, 50% of the unpaid will be bear by company. So 2 weeks of unpaid leave is actually 50% born by employee and another 50% by company. in other words, only 25% deduction for 2 weeks of unpaid leave in a month.
2ndly, there is NO 2 weeks unpaid force leave per month.
U might wanna recheck ur source and re-update it constantly. Else it's safer to stay away from things ur not sure of...it kinda reducde the reliability of ur post. wouldnt want u to be a flogger now after all of the others hard word no?
Thanks for the feedback.
