The New York Times- Herlett-Packard Plans to Cut 9000 jobs
Herlett Packard announced that it would cut 9000 jobs and invest $1 billion in the plan that consolidates and automates data centers. During the same time period, H.P. will hire 6,000 new workers in sales and service delivery positions, said an H.P. spokeswoman.
This company has cut costs by regularly cutting large numbers of staff, so it became famous not only for excellent computer company but its huge scale of cutbacks.
The other international big companies which are located in Silicon Valley such as eBay, Yahoo!, Xerox, and EA also have carried out considerable layoff just for the control of their management. They would say it's a desperate solution to survive through today's economy depression.
Now people have begun to refrain from purchasing luxury goods and companies have shaved investment for IT. But still is there any other way to reinforce declining companies? Their employees must be always anxious about getting fired. Executives would dedicate themselves and make cool decision for their companies, but I would like them to keep in mind that the decision would make people and their family in tears.
