GSK to only have one US HQ

When I contracted with GSK in the early days of the Bush administration, one of the things I found puzzling was the dual U.S. headquarters GSK maintained: on here in RTP and one in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. It was like a snake with two heads or something.

Well, the N&O says that now RTP will be the only headquarters. Yet there’s this one interesting tidbit:

Spokeswoman Mary Anne Rhyne says that’s meant to eliminate confusion. Rhyne says there are currently no plans to cut jobs or close offices in Philadelphia.

No job cuts? Seriously? KOP will no longer be a headquarters but nothing is really changing? Or will the folks supposedly doing HQ jobs be given new jobs?

Sometimes I just can’t figure GSK out.
