In an unrelated industry, Beechcraft (Hawker-Beech I believe it's called now) has a similar blow out. Too many managers and not enough actual workers making product. And to make it even worse, outsourcing integral parts of the aircraft to Mexico: fuel bladders, electrical components, and etc (and sadly they refused to properly train the Mexican workers in any of it). What are they doing now under Textron? Quietly returning those outsourced jobs to Arkansas instead of Salina (Kansas), focusing on making actual aircraft, and scuttling middle management and other other useless cruft from the company. Too bad no one with a similar attitude can just swoop in and buy out HP like how Beechcraft was bought out by Textron.
