Lets see. 100 people x 50,000 a year, about 5 million dollars.

Just normal business practice. If you are going towards a loss, you gotta cut costs, and try to go back towards profitability.

yeah but 5 million is nothing compared to a billion!

Howard Stringer is clearly pairing down everything. I honestly wouldn't be completely surprised if the entirety of SCI was jettisoned if things don't significantly improve within the next year.

"BenKenobi88 - it's the sony restructing. It's good news to every person who owns sony stock. It's bad news to the 80-100 employees fired. If you dont own sony stock, and you werent fired, it shouldnt effect you."

ROFL. ben,you dont have to wait any longer.

 

kwaad you are about as funny as your truck.


 on your edit about my truck. do me a quick favor and click there. Notice how much he wants for that truck? It dont have half the drivetrain mine does. Notice that price. Now notice... that's more than a PS3. So that means my truck is worth more than that... but it's worth less than a PS3. Ok. Since when did a PS3 cost 4000$ ? Other than 1-2 weeks after launch. XD

Seriously tho, you bash my toy truck. All I gotta say is, when I take that into a mud-hole, and have fun for 8 hours, while your playing some game, doing the same thing. I'm gonna come home, with a brown grin, self satisfyed, a inch of mud on my truck, a bigger mud-hole than before I arrived, and friends who can barely rember how much fun we had. My truck sucks. Yup. 

Never been mudding, personally. Fun?

You must not own a business. You can barely even hire a janitor for $50k a year, not to mention all the other costs like insurance, utilities, office space, healthcare, etc.



Right.  I'm not saying Sony is doomed...they're doing a normal thing, laying off when business is down.  It's just not really a good thing, plain and simple.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Yeah, Fishy is right. 50k might cover salary assuming they are relatively junior employee's, but that isn't anywhere near the entire cost of an employee.

 Depends on what your in. I dont know if it's gonna be that fun in my truck. The suspension is kinda tight, and the steering is a little stiff. (welcome to a 1ton+ 70's truck) However becuase of the lift kit, 4x4, and the fact that I will put a supercharger on it in the next few months... it's gonna be fun. :D But it gets really fun when your with a bunch of drunk guys, your not all that sober yourself, and then you go out and flop around in a good sized mud hole, get stuck, or flip the truck over... no-one really cares. It never was a beauty.

But you get to have tons of overall fun!

 Used to do that with my dad in his Ford Scout. We rolled it end over end once down a steep hill without any major damage.
