Oracle Layoffs Hit Longtime Solaris Developers Hard
Phoronix, 2 September 2017
It looks like the Oracle layoffs just before the US Labor Day indeed hit the SPARC and Solaris groups hard. There hasn't been any official announcement from Oracle, but unconfirmed reports put it at 1,000~1,500 Oracle staff losing their jobs, particularly in the Solaris and SPARC divisions. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...laris-Hit-Hard --Update 2 Sep 2017, 22:29 UTC Here is a link an article in The Register https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/0...table_layoffs/
