I'll keep this short.  I could give lengthy explanation that yes, HP has 
layoffs happening.  It's a company with over 300,000 employees so given the 
economy and the overhaul underway, reducing ~ 10% is not a surprise.  I 
could also explain that many of the 29,000 people are actually exiting via 
early retirement programs in which they do quite well.  I said goodbye to 
many friends this month who have big smiles on their now retired faces.

I'd rather talk about jobs and Ruby and thought this would be a good place 
to do so.  My division is profitable, and local.  We need more skilled 
people.  Come interview with me, meet my team, and we can talk about the 
financial position of my division.
