Oracle / Layoffs announced to employees

Sources are telling us that some Oracle employees got pink slips on Friday. All of them are from Sun Microsystems’ hardware groups.

Friday’s layoffs hit employees in the “legacy hardware” units from Sun, particularly salespeople and some managers, our source tells us. Details are sketchy but like previous Oracle layoffs, we’re estimating the layoff is tiny and involves perhaps a few dozen people.

This isn’t a big surprise. One laid-off worker tells us that Oracle traditionally cuts in late April, early May because its fiscal year ends May 31.
