As those of you who are tuned in to corporate America probably know, yesterday HP announced a massive restructuring which includes laying off 10 percent of its workforce. As I drove in to work (in Flora's car) a reporter from Channel 2 stopped me and asked what I thought of the layoffs (which was the first I heard of it). I mumbled, "I'm only an intern" and continued on my way. Then at the end of the day as I was walking to the car, someone drove up to me, got out of the car, and said "I work for a financial services company, and we're hiring now, so here's my business card." Corporate America is weird.
