Title: Losing their jobs and even their iPods
Post by: Foxy Brown on July 07, 2006, 06:52:50 AM

National Semiconductor giveth, and it taketh away.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company gained loads of publicity last month for announcing plans to give every employee a 30-gigabyte video iPod.

Last week, the company laid off 35 employees at its Arlington plant. To the surprise of some at the plant, the laid-off workers were asked to give back their high-tech toys. (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/business/local/14957291.htm)
