Or perhaps, the 35,000 is really a "salary adjusted headcount".
(Carly*$$/year + board*$$/year, + other top officials)/lowest paid
HPemployee = 35000?   So loosing those top  eight would be almost like
loosing 35,000? :-)

What is missing in the discussion is that even with a merger going through,
 HP would still probably layoff 15,000 to 20,000 as part of their
consolidation effort.  (remember all those proposed gains in
efficiencies...)
