All hands meetings being cancelled on orders from legal to prevent news from spreading.
Hardware teams being told to cease development.
There will be no Solaris 12, final release will be 11.4.
Orders coming straight from Larry.
No info on timing yet.
@2cjh S has already been cut, so has M, even before this RIF, only T remained.
Interesting I haven't seen or heard of compensation like that in these RIFs
WARN will not help you - warns requires a 60 days notice, however if they pay you let's say 3 months as a part of the severance agreement, that covers the 60 days requirement...
Check out this https://www.thelayoff.com/h/sixtydaysnotice
Or just go to #SixtyDaysNotice
It's only if they layoff a certain number. If it's in a different state laws too may be why they don't show up on the CA warn. Not every state has list out.
WARN reporting is the law
Well - Is WARN Reporting mandatory ?
How has the System Dev BU moved from 5250 employees to 4850 in one year without any notice ?
I like you cult of LE people. You drink the cool aid and are going to get screwed like you never imagined so go get some gel and be ready for that. I hear MH likes to cross that line. You can be first in line.
You're an idiot that has a future in the unemployment line. Don't forget to apply for food stamps.
all illiterate morons like the previous posters. do some research before having an opinion. for instance before bashing it against aws, learn about sparc sonoma servers you f*cking retards.
Also data center need is driven by user demand. Look up offering is based on workload needs. Not all customers will use SPARC not need it's capability. This is why AWS is winning so many users including enterprise users.
Wishful thinking. No way will that strategy best Amazon and it will only assure our decline must quicker. Oracle has to be price competitive. Linux is not optimized for use with SPARC. The delays in development will lead to win even more late to the cloud.
Sparc will power oracles cloud but will be running Linux
Oracle will be its own biggest sparc customer with tens of thousands of servers across its cloud data centres
Not yet. It just means development will slow down and it will eventually be sold off. It's not a winning path for the company. I know it's hard to hear and many emotional ties to as a former Sun engineer. We have to face the music or live in denial for our future.
SPARC is not dead
layoffs seem to be a consequence of hurd poorly performing s-xually with his wife. Hence the need of a new s-xual partner. Need to be reinsured outside. Go hurd go ! more layoff to go !
About views since It impacts many jobs likely the news is out about this site.
Sad to see sparc go down but the signs are evident and the market for sparc is not good.
That roadmap is from almost one year ago...
What I've heard confirmed is there will be no Solaris 12, 11.4 will be the final release.
I don't know about Sparc, would like to see it survive but no idea if it will with Linux.
I don't want this to be true because it will impact my job, but it's pretty much done.
@1xki It's probably the same 50 posters refreshing the page to see responses
True but the lastest roadmap does not show development with Linux. The development path has been tied with Solaris 12 release. A deviation from this could imply many things.

Apparently people forget that Linux actually runs on Sparc.
If this sh-- is not true why so many views in one day? Over 7000 views!
And off course, global warming is a definite hoax
very unlikely that Oracle would report any layoffs.
these things are decided two weeks in advance when Hurd gives the order near the end of the half year (now)!!!
I work at Oracle, but I don't see anything on California WARN list

Interesting how oracle is divesting from products acquired in the Sun acquisition. They cut java teams, now Solaris, next sparc but they will likely keep the MySQL.
@1dlm your ignorance shows since your every statement is false. SPARC does make money and good margin, while MH was not even at Oracle during the Sun acquisition.
said the person who thinks that it is called solair.
You don't need to be a fortune teller to know Solair and Sparc will get ex sooner or later. That is no secret Oracle losing money every quarter on those. It still exist because MH don't want to admit making bad decision on Sun acquisition.
Understandable people are worried about the jobs impact.
From a very good source I've been told this rumor is true. And I work at Oracle.
I understand change is inevitable but I'll always have a soft spot for Sparc and Solaris.
What hardware teams would be impacted?
confirmed
Can anyone confirm with more detail Solaris and sparc news stated in this post

Oracle puts the breaks on Solaris developments. It's also causing developing to stop on the hardware sparc front extent unknown. Impacts to teams worldwide in the thousands. Timeframe of RIFs not yet known. All hands meetings had been planned but got canceled at the direction of the legal department.
Lots of sparc hardware sales ppl got moved because of this. Separate from RIF talk in Solaris and sparc teams.
typically layoffs happen at the beginning of june and december in sales, can everyone with info please specify if they are speaking about Hardware/Software Development under Larry, and/or sales under Hurd?
50% RIFs Solaris/sparc teams. Timeline tbd
HW impacts also known
I work for Oracle too! It's been confirmed.
