Sun Microsystems – “Layoffs killing the company”

Pros

Still a great group of people to work with

Cons

Constantly waiting for the next layoff and lack of information about them once they are announced.

Advice to Senior Management

Last November it was announced that there would be 6000 layoffs yet we are, in the main, still waiting. Nobody tells us what's happening - each time there is a layoff you say the last one wasn't handled very well and we'll do better this time. Guess what, your doing even worse. Not knowing how long you've got a job is no way to run a business.
