Merrill Lynch set for more job cuts
Few workers seen taking voluntary severance packages


msnbc.com

LONDON, Nov. 14 — Staff at investment bank Merrill Lynch & Co Inc. were braced for a fresh wave of forced job cuts as industry sources said on Wednesday the group’s voluntary redundancy scheme had not attracted enough candidates.

MERRILL, WHICH OFFERED severance packages to its 65,900 employees around the globe in a bid to cut costs amid slumping profits, declined to say how many staff had accepted the offer and said it had no overall target for job cuts.
Yet some industry sources said the package, based on how long staff had worked for the company, was in most cases not rewarding enough to convince staff to leave. The deadline for accepting the voluntary offer was last Friday.
