Over the next year, and due to Oracle's takeover, Sun Microsystems plans on eradicating over 3,000 jobs. According to CBS 5/BCN, "They are the latest in a series of job cuts at the server and software maker, whose prolonged financial troubles led to the $7.4 billion deal with Oracle in April." Good luck out there, Sun folks.

Step 1. Buy a company
Step 2. Fire all their employees
Step 3. ???
Step 4. PROFIT!!!
Step 3 is unnecessary.
im amazed they're still out there to be honest
Roughly 10% of the entire us awful for the fired but pretty standard in a corporate takeover. Best wishes to those let go!
With the number of people they have let go over the past 4 years, I'm surprised there was any dead weight left to fire. Will the last employee out the door, please turn out the light.
Sun has a lot of talented people but they never seem to make money. Who's fault is that?
The only "dead weight" is the management.
Preaching the the choir - been saying that for years. I have more than a few friends who worked for them in sales and engineering. I think the entire marketing team at Sun should get into raising turkeys or baling hay because "marketing" clearly was something they were ill-equipped to handle.
It wasn't all that long ago that there was talk of Sun buying the then-floundering Apple Computer.... the combined company was supposed to be named "Snapple".
$10 says you stole that joke from Wired.
