What's the dirt on Scotty the Science Lab?

A few questions regarding 3M's mascot, Scotty: Who watches him all day? What does it cost to have people watch him? Where does he go at night? How much did it cost to trademark his name: The Science Lab? How much time and money went into this decision (legal, PR cost, etc) to acquire him? Was he a rescue dog/puppy mill/legitimate breeder?
Is there any chance he will get laid off or spun-off?
Maybe a better mascot would be a black widow spider or a preying mantis, you know, one's that eat their own.

Give me the pros and cons of each BU

Hi. I’m a Fidelity alumni, trying to help another Fidelity alumni get back in Fidelity. This person is a software engineer who left on their own free will and on good terms some time ago, and is open to returning to the company as a software engineer.

I’d like to know the pros and cons of working in each BU. Please try to list out the pros of each BU in terms of where the most career growth can be.

For all of you who may think it’s best to keep this person away from the firm, not everyone is the same. I personally would like to NEVER set foot in Fidelity again, all due respect. I am aware that Fidelity has its issues like reorgs, false job security, etc. Just list any pros and cons specific to each BU that you can think of which would help someone pick their poison with more information at hand.

Thank you.

What are layoffs achieving?

Seriously, outside of short-sighted and short-lived cost cuts, has there ever been anything positive that can be associated with layoffs? We've been having one layoff after another, one restructuring after another, and nothing improves. In fact, it's the opposite. So what's the point?
