Tech Publisher O'Reilly Slashes Jobs

Posted by kdawson on from the more-with-less dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, geeky tech publisher O'Reilly Media has slashed 14% of its workforce, or 31 people. Founder and tech pundit Tim O'Reilly comments on the layoffs by exhorting people to 'get more with less.' According to the article, 'Just this week... both tech giant Google and book retailer Barnes & Noble announced their first layoffs ever. Other publishing houses, including HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Random House, and Simon & Schuster have frozen salaries or cut jobs, or both.'"

    Am I the only one who read the headline the wrong way? I was expecting the first line to say "Steve Jobs filed charges for aggravated assault after an altercation with Tim O'Reilly..."
