One of the few good articles I read about latest Oracle layoffs - they actually did some proper research and talked to some people, not just parroted the same few sentences from the original report on layoffs. Good read, IMHO.
One person Business Insider talked to heard from his manager that 1,500 people worldwide were cut last week.
