CPU/Mobo Asus splits into three companies

[bottle]

Say hello to the new Asus, which only makes Asus-branded computers, Pegatron, which will handle OEM, mobo, and component manufacturing, and Unihan, which will concentrate on casing, modules and other non-PC manufacturing.

Pegatron and Unihan are expected to continue the former Asus' manufacturing tasks with little to no dropoff or transition, but there's a nasty little surprise in store for employees of all three new companies: their former pensions have all been cancelled, and the clock started anew as of January 1. No wonder they named these companies after rejected Decepticons.

I HOPE SO !!! :cheers:

I have heard some whispers at Lamington Road about a shake up in ASUS's operations in India and about a new Disti for their products, I hope these stories are true. (Pssst.... I was even pointed out a shop in a bye lane off Lamington Road which is supposedly going to be the source for the new ASUS goodies.)

"As a current Asus employee, I can confirm your statements. We get our pension back (invested when old laws still applied), not canceled."

thought this is worth sharing...

Pegatron seriously, Asus was such a classy name!

One less reason to get ASUS. I'd been a dedicated customer for 4 years , but switched to gigabyte for my last build. Their RMA sucks BAD.

GB is going great guns with great products.

Foxconn will soon redeem itself in the enthu segement. hyeah:
