These are big cuts indeed. In an other article I read that the cuts will concentrate on where hp does not meet its competitors' performance. How will this affect the calculators division?

A better solution would be for them to build a "B Ark" for the upper and middle management. But managers usually aren't willing to lay themselves off; they blame any problems on their underlings, who blame it on theirs, and so it's the individual workers, most of whom were hard-working and contributing directly to the bottom line, who get sacked. The managers that made the stupid decisions that hurt the company's P&L usually stick around forever.
Sigh.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Sorry, but I always hate it when companies cut thousands of jobs.
