And Sony has certainly had rough patches too. And that's for a company coming from an electronics manufacturer angle.
Kodak could have spun off a consumer electronics or semiconductor manufacturing company. But it's not clear why that is actually a better model than someone else just spinning up similar entities.
I don't need all the chemical engineers and a lot of other people connected with the old business anyway. And I'm sure not turning them into semiconductor experts.
So you're one of the 10% of employees in HR who snuck through to the other side. Is that really a big deal?
That's right. The chief executives and the HR lady basically get transferred over to a new startup funded with Kodak's money and everyone else is fired.
They could have been a Sony. The iPhone camera sensor is made by Sony.
