don’t forget that they will probably hire thousands off-shore

Maybe - but the larger issue is FCF - and you can't hire that many without it showing up on FCF.

why would they try to hide it? no other company does :)

[onlyrealcuzzo]

You must not understand what FCF is. If you're cutting headcount STRICTLY to juice FCF, you cannot spend money offshore without hitting FCF.

[bdangubic]

you can if you are paying pennies on the dollar :)
