I thought you were talking about the layoffs in 2001. :)
When they killed many of their sales offices, as did AV, and about everyone else, in the European/Asian markets.

I think the October layoff, had to do with the fact they knew they were selling off the Enterprise Search division to Verity. When HP/Compaq merged, they did some advance layoffs in both companies.
