I know a certain company that's in the process of doing that.

all the previous mergers EDS has done, has layed the ppl off afterwards.
I was once told when I worked there, they do it in that order to show the share holders they are cutting out the slackers and non-producers

Once he met it, he got his cash and gave less of a damn than anyone could.

The only person to almost do as well at the money dance was Les Alberthal.

I worked on a case where I reviewed substantial documentation of the wake his departure left. Caused huge staffing reductions - many of them pushing the tragic.

My coworker's husband works for EDS too... I think they're both going to lose their jobs... lol
