Why the piecemeal approach? Can't be very good for morale of those still remaining. Principal Financial Cuts 40 Jobs - Money News Story - KCCI Des Moines
'positions for continued strength and growth' = and makes us more attractive to potential buyers.
after cutting 600 jobs, they are now eligible for about 2 billion dollars in federal bailout funds. Cut 600 jobs and get rewarded by the government. I bet those 600 people are excited to have helped their former place of employment with a large sum of bailout money.

There must be a bigger story here with the extensive layoffs occurring every week. They are one of only six insurance companies qualified for TARP Trap money. The company must be in worst shape than we thought.

How long have you worked for Principal, mpls? :wink:
I'm with the others that say I don't understand the gradual layoffs. I know some people that work there that are always in fear of losing their jobs. I'm really glad I don't have to deal with the anxiety they do.
Overall, things are down no doubt. It sucks that people are losing their job. My point is that many other companies in the industry are handling this worse than PFG.
