Without the scientific help of the prestigious AAET tools and methods, a simple minded person with thick glasses may see that the traffic in APC's layoff board is couple of times heavier (including the responses gets higher) than the occidental board.
On the positive side that may mean that when the dust settles, employees are actually able to work and focus without griping and venting. So if you go thru the tunnel and don't get hit by the train it maybe ok on the other side or at least on par with the other companies that are listed in this board and don't have an actual layoff or similar excitement.
On APC side goes without saying and fancy AAET algorithms that personnel is anxious about what's coming, thirsty for information (eventhough we get rumors most of the time here), vents frustrations, seeks encouragement from fellow blue left on the island watching the cruise ship sailing away with EC team wasting their millions at the c-sino or reading another book from the club library (whatever rocks their boat I guess).
