Really? They should be grateful that they look to still have jobs. If Apple or Microsoft or Google bought them, a bunch of them would have been laid off.

- rubinelli 17y agoHP cut deep when it acquired EDS, from top management all the way down to the trenches. I don't think they will leave much besides (parts of) R&D this time.
- izendejas 17y agoThat's because there was lots of overlap w/ EDS. They already had their own services division, a pretty big one at that, so they had to cut out the redundancies. Not the case with Palm. HP doesn't have many software developers, and much less for mobile platforms.
- krupan 17y agoHP's recent track record of purchase and lay-off has to be at least as good (bad?) as those three. And actually, having recently worked there and having kept in touch former co-workers, getting laid off from HP with some severance isn't so bad, compared to the alternatives.
