Don't wholly buy into the layoff talk. Companies are constantly reorganizing. Especially these giant corporations with 100,000's of employees. A company laying off 500 in one area doesn't mean the company is shedding jobs. They could be hiring 1000 more in different departments or different locations, but the headline of 'lays off 500' is still true.
It's one of those things where the news presents some information, and lets the readers/viewers draw lousy conclusions.
