HP to cut 3000-4000 jobs over the next 3 years

I just find it amazing that companies cut such huge numbers of jobs. 3000 to 4000. Well, which is it, 3000 or 4000? Are they firing entire divisions or just saying (roughly) 200 from each department.

I feel, if I was CEO of a major company, I'd feel pretty disgusted with myself and my directors that someone couldn't figure out how to make whatever profitable and not fire these people. You (the company) just possibly really screwed 3-4000 families. That's disgusting, IMO.
