主题：【评论】世道艰难啊 -- 索尼宣布全球CUT两万员工 -- Highway
The cuts, which affect 13 percent of its workers worldwide, are part of a major three-year restructuring strategy.
The first 7,000 jobs to go will be in Japan. No further details were given about where the other cuts would be made. Word of the cuts leaked out last week, but Japan-based Sony waited until Tuesday to announce them.
The cost of the restructuring is now estimated to be $3.09 billion ($335 billion yen), which is 10 percent higher than previous predictions. Sony said the changes are designed to help secure a consolidated operating profit margin of at least 10 percent by the end of 2006.
Sony has battled sliding profits after posting a loss for the first three months of this fiscal year because of poor sales of the PlayStation 2 and its Trinitron TV sets.
Sony's consumer electronics arm has suffered the most, largely because of the falling demand for traditional TV sets. The company is now pitching its hopes on flat-screen sets, where demand is predicted to rise to 32 million units in 2007, and has announced a joint venture deal with South Korean rival Samsung.
Sony also said its financial services division will be split off into a separate company in 2004, with the possibility of it being floated.
扳着指头一数，这世界上几大公司除了微软以外，好像没有几家公司没有裁员了吧！Intel, IBM, JP Morgan-Chase,Ford, GM, Boeing,HP-Compaq，Sun哪家现在不是勒紧裤腰带挺着。哎，世道艰难啊！
丈夫平时就患忧郁症，被LAID-OFF后自杀身亡，留下一对上高中的子女和同样被LAID-OFF的太太。
谁都有背运的时候，如果发生，也只好面对了。实在不行，餐馆里端端盘子挣些钱，也可以保命呀。
这两年来公司裁了四轮员了，现在我听说裁员都没感觉了。
其实，手中的存款，再加上救济金，应该可以混一阵子的。
我要是被裁了，我就

今年日本的年报看，松下NEC是赚钱的，东芝富士通是亏了的，索尼是赚了，但是比去年少，这个裁员有点儿狠了。

我们这里那个华人，预感到自己要被裁员，就把老婆孩子连自己一家四口全给干掉了。惨得很哪。
能笑话一下自己，就过去乐。
顶多不就是把房子卖掉，住进APARTMENT；再不济就是FILE BANKCRUPCY。VC 投钱的时候还希望投给有失败经历的。
俺是站着说话不腰疼，
最糟糕的时候应该已经过去乐。
便进退失据，IQ与EQ，人与数字，有许多故事呀。
琉璃厂传奇里面的那个贝勒爷很有意思，从大牢里放出来，住进了老仆人家，饶这么着，还能自个儿找乐，大冬天的拿最后一顶皮帽子换了山楂做山楂糕。就这么一位顽主，他牢里认识的一个有点小聪明的人，还能用他的遗少招牌开古玩店，硬把家业盘了回来。
再怎么不济，咱总比人家从大狱里出来,穷得就只剩一个姓氏强吧。
