William Robinson writes "ZDNet reports that [0]HP is planning to layoff
15000 employees. IT, sales and services will be among the areas
particularly hit, although the sweeping cuts will be felt throughout the
company, according to a close source to the company." From the article:
"HP is expected to announce the layoffs as early as Monday, but employees
are not expected to be immediately notified of their status, the source
said, noting such a practice is common in corporate America. More
high-level discussions on the layoffs will occur late next week and
employees may get a greater sense of their specific status sometime
thereafter."
