In the Review Journal:
Todd Hahn, division vice president for Pulte Homes, said he’s heard reports of layoffs at other home builders, but that hasn’t happened at Pulte.
“With the size of the operation we have, we always have people coming and going,” he said. “But there’s no department where we said, ‘We could do without that.’ Look at the number of homes we delivered last year.”
Translation – We currently have a lot of people leaving our employment and none entering. But don’t focus on the bad news down road, please focus on the happy numbers from the past.
Hann also said, “Rather than hire more people on a temporary basis and spend three months training them, which amounts to a substantial investment in human resources, Pulte will stretch its current staff of about 600 employees and find more efficiencies to cover the short-term blip.”
