Like I said; not messing up would be making sure they have other jobs either at IBM or elsewhere. Not calling laying off 13000 people messing up sounds strange to me; you have a social responsibility here. People are not things you can discard when you don't need them anymore. If you have no other way, then ok, but IBM is not close to any kind of bankruptcy or situation like that.

Oh, I see. You're a Communist and think IBM exists to provide jobs, not to provide shareholder profits. That'll necessarily lead you to a different conclusion than it led me.
