(Sigh)... More Layoffs

(Previous announcements)

A quick name check to:

Brooks Automation - which is cutting 20% of its workforce (350 people), in its second round of layoffs

Halliburton (yes, even Cheney's old company is going to lay off people, known as they are towards their people-friendly policies... NOT)

Schlumberger, not to be outdone by Halliburton, has announced it will lay off 5,000 people... and might have another headcount reduction in 6 months

Intel, after initially affirming it wasn't going to lay off employees, is cutting 6,000 manufacturing jobs.
