公司内部又重组

身在国际企业，必定会面对公司内部重组再重组，公司收购其他公司后又重组，streamline 后又重组的命运。短短一年的惠普生涯，内部重组不少次。还记得上一回的内部重组， 很多同事都面临不同的命运， 俜请我的老板走了，俜请我老板的老板也走了。现在公司正收购其中一家 IT Outsourcing公司， 这个收购，估计24,600 员工的职位难保。大家都对这数议论纷纷， 开始谈起Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) 的配套。24,600在Country Level 的影响会有多大，到现在还是个未知数。收购将会与今年11 月生效。对于我来说，我估计我有可能会是24,600 的一分子，但现在还言之过早。如果是VSS的配套好，说实的，我不介意被VSS，东家不打，打西家， 但受到风VSS 配套不怎么诱人，这可惨了！也担心不了多少，只可等着瞧了！

HP set to cut workforce by 24,600


HP's hopes its takeover of EDS will help it compete with IBM

Hewlett-Packard (HP), the world's largest computer company, says it plans to cut 24,600 jobs, almost 8% of its workforce, to streamline its business.

The cuts will take place over the next three years as it combines operations with Electronic Data Systems, the technology company it recently bought.

EDS employees are expected to bear the brunt of the cuts.

HP hopes the acquisition will allow it to take on rival IBM and win more lucrative, long-term contracts.

Half of the jobs cuts will be in the US, with finance, human resources and legal departments expected to be affected.

The company said that it eventually planned to add about half the positions back as different jobs in different departments within the company.

HP's $13.9bn takeover of EDS is the firm's biggest acquisition since 2002 when it bought Compaq for $19bn.
