Oracle Lays Off More Than 1,000 Employees (zdnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the restructuring dept.

An anonymous reader writes: According to the Mercury News, Oracle is laying off approximately 450 employees in its Santa Clara hardware systems division. Reports at The Layoff, a discussion board for technology business firings, claim about 1,800 employees company-wide are being pink-slipped. Oracle claims the company isn't closing the Santa Clara facility with this reduction in force. Instead, "Oracle is refocusing its Hardware Systems business, and for that reason, has decided to lay off certain of its employees in the Hardware Systems Division."

  1. Oracle, what a joke. by Jack9 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's a known quantity. Oracle rep lie sell their substandard product with shitty support, piecemeal features, and a huge bill. You deserve what you get. Almost as bad as contracting with IBM, but not quite. IBM has decent support.
