A mate just called to say his department will be cutting heads. These were previously seen as "safe" positions and are directly because of future model line up cuts.

Cant be too specific, but I can say that they work on global and local projects. So its a bit of this and a bit of that. I can say from talking to him that things are not good and he and others are taking it hard, lots of committed people feeling very worthless at the moment.

HP are letting 24,600 IT staff go over three years, not much news about that.
No job is safe. |

HP is global, this issue is local which means it will get more exposure.

I am sure someone in power will organize a summit to look into these issues over a smoked salmon sandwich and a glass of lemonade.
