Wow - so even with a profit, they whack ...
So a company makes $4B profit, but it doesn't meet expectations, and 5000 people are gone?
Aren't these CEOs setting the groundwork for a Marx-like revolution? They rake in the cash - while sticking it to the underlings. Might not happen in my lifetime, but I hope they do enjoy the barbarians at the gate scenario they're creating for themselves.
And for the one talking about axing the H1B's - considering that H1Bs were "supposed" be be used to address a labor shortage, shouldn't they be the first to go? I think one can argue that there isn't a labor shortage anymore, unless you define that shortage as "lack of technological workers - willing to work for nothing."
Just sayin' ...
