Thread regarding St. Jude Medical Inc. layoffs

i can assure you all that the management is doing everything possible to avoid layoffs at st jude. all of us know that things are rough at SJ but at the same time i know very well that the mgmt is serious about keeping the staff body intact and to cut only where it's absolutely required. i know that i am not providing much detail but at the same time i have a friend who's very high up and that is the impression i get when talking to him. cheers.
