Vic--- agreed! There is a big difference between a restructureing write off and one due to operations or inventory. Operational and inventory losses are a short term but very negative -- indicating possibly continuing losses. Restructuring writeoffs are usually considered very positive as a long term savings is being shown... The point is when eliminating large numbers to be certain not to eliminate needed individuals and not to replace those leaving,, not even at a reduced compensation pkg. That amounts to an after write off of a 100% gain in the total comp pkg inc benefits and perks. Large restructures usually show a fast recovery in profit margins and STOCK PRICE. My contention all along was the Dig planned layoffs were only the the beginning of what was most likely needed.Every org needs to make a clean sweep every so often and esp when there is a sweep at the top.
