Comments on: Lenovo rumored readying layoffs

Amid pessimism surrounding the economic situation, more rumors of layoffs within companies, including Lenovo and Microsoft, have surfaced online.

Considering that the Chinese Communist Party is the MAJORITY and CONTROLLING owner (proof is on the internet if you bother to research) of Lenovo (every Lenovo you buy, helps ARM our ENEMY), anyone "laid-off" will be immediately drafted into the Red Army fixing missile targeting computers aimed at Japan, Taiwan and US .... as in us!

Now, don't get carried away. Do you think every country is our enemy? If not, why do you target China? What have they done to you lately? I have not seen China be at all aggressive toward the US, though there have always been tough talk from both sides over issues like Taiwan. Nobody really wants trouble between the US and China. China depends heavily on the US economy and the US depends heavily on Chinese manufacturing. Now, who would go screw that up? Putting the financial issues aside, the old communist government is not what it was decades ago. China is focused on improving the quality of life for its people, not attacking members of the G8.

Glad to hear it. Hope the whole fr*ckn company collapses. Probably too much lead in the keyboards anyway. Secret plot to kill Americans.

I do not know what kind of financial position Lenovo is in, but Microsoft appears to be financally strong. Let's say that there is a rought quarter or two. So? It is not as though Microsoft does not have the cash to weather the storm. Large companies should take it upon themselves to do their part by keeping people employed, not throwing them on the street-- especially in times like these where finding a job is going to be next to impossible.
