A19: Most of the Wall Street ANALysts are in love with profits...and they are after the big tech firms to cut costs in this environment no matter what (even if it's just a quick fix)...virtually all the big tech companies are still growing now but at a much slower pace...Firms like EMC, Cisco, IBM, Intel, Oracle and Microsoft all have truckloads of cash and don't really have to lay off any employees -- but they all are doing cost cutting anyway...Apple is one of the few large tech companies that doesn't seem to be "downsizing" right now. Google may still be in this category too.

In this world we live in today most large companies aren't as loyal to their employees -- and it's not surprising that employees aren't as loyal to their employers...Yet, a company helps define it's culture when you look at how they deal with the really tough times. Some of the well run private firms have much more flexibility and don't have to worry about the pressure of making "the numbers" to please Wall Street each quarter.
