In ING bank Belgium there are another 315 employees who have lost their jobs. And there were already 135 who have lost there jobs.
Most of the people who are fired are interims, people that are almost on retirement or persons who want to leave the company voluntarily.
The insurance company also wants to save a 110 million euro because of the financial crisis. So they have cut down on the premiums of the direction next to firing 315 employees. They also decided to economize by not making an appeal on external companies and using informaticians from the company itself. These savings are part of a bigger saving plan.
The results of ING are 30% decreased from 2007 to 2008. The CEO of the company, Erik Dralans, declares that commercially it was a good year but because off the financial crisis the results are pretty good seen the situation.
In my opinion I think ING Belgium is doing good seen the circumstances. They are prepared to cut down on the premiums and economize on the operational costs. But it is a pity that some many jobs are perished. There is already a financial crisis and now these people are on the street, with no job.

Everywhere people get fired. This because of the financial crisis. It’s the second time ING fires people. Luckily it are people who wants to leave voluntary or are almost retired. Sometimes I hear people say it’s a defamation that ING, Fortis… fires peoples because they have had already a lot of financial support. But I think they just have no choice, when they do nothing it just gets worse and worse.
