Social layoff plans in place for both France and Spain - heard the number is 10% of workforce in both countries but have not had that confirmed. Must be bad as layoff cost big time in France for sure.
Kiwis kick LE's butt
Yes New Zealand won both races today! Well done lads! Revenge is sweet! Eat your heart out LE - you're a loser!
So where's the BIG layoff everyone has been telling us about?
I don't want to diminish the pain of anyone who has been or will be RIF'ed, but thus far the layoffs at Oracle have been targeted and modest - not much different than than any other large company that cleans house on an annual basis. I simply don't... — read more
