Why?

They do overshoot as it relates to layoffs, I am curious if one can be rehired or do you get banned permanently (many companies have this policy).

Holding at $55 despite ZTE news. I assume a big layoff announcement will boost the stock. Assuming layoff is big enough to easier save a bill or so. Maybe a buying opportunity right now ahead of 4/20. And APPL is a big 'waiting to happen' boost, I... — read more

It's Tuesday - the dreaded most common day for layoffs - and everything seems calm. I guess it's still early, but there is no indication so far that today will be the day either.
