????惠普（Hewlett-Packard）計(jì)劃裁員16,000人，這將使這家公司的總裁員人數(shù)接近50,000人。上周五，惠普CEO梅格?惠特曼表示，裁員將使公司變得“更有效率”。

????惠普在上周四的季度收益報(bào)告中公布了額外的裁員計(jì)劃，這是惠特曼五年轉(zhuǎn)型計(jì)劃的一部分，也是這個(gè)戰(zhàn)略實(shí)施兩年以來(lái)第三次上調(diào)裁員人數(shù)。惠特曼表示，這次裁員將涉及公司所有地區(qū)的所有部門(mén)。裁員總?cè)藬?shù)將占惠普總員工人數(shù)的3%至5%，預(yù)計(jì)截至2016年可以為公司節(jié)省10億美元運(yùn)營(yíng)成本。

????惠特曼表示，多年的并購(gòu)導(dǎo)致惠普的員工人數(shù)迅速膨脹。它2002年收購(gòu)了康柏（Compaq），2008年又收購(gòu)了EDS公司（EDS），期間還收購(gòu)了17家軟件公司。僅EDS公司一家，在惠普收購(gòu)時(shí)就有大約140,000名員工。

????Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) plan to eliminate as many as 16,000 jobs, bringing the total worker cuts up to nearly 50,000, will make the company "more efficient and effective," CEO Meg Whitman said Friday.

????The additional job cuts, revealed in the company's quarterly earnings report Thursday, are part of Whitman's five-year plan to turn the PC maker around and is the third upward revision to job eliminations since her strategy went into effect two years ago. The pink slips will be spread across the company and will affect all geographic regions, Whitman said. The layoff totals count for between 3% and 5% of HP's overall workforce, and they are expected to save $1 billion in operating costs by 2016.

????Whitman said that years of mergers and acquisitions have bloated HP's headcount. The company bought Compaq in 2002, EDS in 2008 and 17 different software companies over the years. EDS alone had almost 140,000 employees when HP made its offer.

????"These acquisitions never got integrated quite the way they should have," said Whitman in an interview on CNBC's Squawk on the Street. "And there still is pockets, big pockets of inefficiencies."

????Wall Street appeared to approve Whitman's plan, with HP's share price up as much as 7 percent mid-session Friday: The biggest gain in six months.

????Whitman told Re/Code Thursday that this is the last increase to job cuts as part of her restructuring plan. Slimming down the HP workforce will help meet customers demands faster and better, as many buyers find that the company is "a little bit difficult to do business with," she said.

????"We need to have speed and agility. We need to be nimble in what is an enormously rapidly changing marketplace," said Whitman. "So, while no one likes to reduce the workforce, this will be good for our customers and good for Hewlett-Packard."
