Sun Microsystems – “Layoffs killing the company

Mar 3, 2009

2.0

Sun Microsystems Marketing Program Manager in Menlo Park, CA:   (Current Employee)

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.
Flatten out the management structure - is there really a need for Vice Presidents, Senior VPs and Executive VP's???? talk about top heavy management structure
