Another Round of HP Layoffs
geekroot's dad writes "AP News is reporting that Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard is 'fighting to stay competitive with formidable rivals like IBM and Dell' and is announcing 5,900 European job cuts "to safeguard the future" of the company. From the article: 'Michel Destot, the Socialist deputy mayor of the southern France city of Grenoble - where HP has one of its French plants - said the layoffs were "unacceptable" and demanded that HP managers also meet local politicians to discuss scaling back the job cuts.'" This round following the first cut back in July.
Um, this is France. The government over there has their fingers in every aspect of business. Why do you think they're unemployment is Chronically close to 20%?
You can tell the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
Holy Right Wing Moderation Batman! Correcting the "interesting" post that French unemployment is at 10% instead of 20% is a "troll".
