Yes, as President Obama meets with Americans in Indiana, John Chambers prepares for a big company meeting in Bangalore.

Well Said.. These people are really playing with lives..
When required they will grab the people thru mass recruitment and once used ....... use and throw.....!!

We can understand the global economy.. but lay off need not be the measure for cost reduction.. pay cut of CEO's and higher profiles will save many lives! Hope its been heard by some in that role.
