Oracle To Lay Off About 2,000 Employees

February 12, 2006 on 11:04 am | by Marian Crkon | In Worth Noting | Enter Comments | Print Print | Email Email

Oracle Corp. said last Thursday that it will cut about 2,000 jobs, or more than 3 percent of its work force, as it digs for bigger profits from its recent $5.85 billion takeover of Siebel Systems Inc. Oracle inherited 4,700 Siebel workers in the acquisition, but most of the cuts will be concentrated among employees on the company payroll before the deal closed last week, Chief Executive Larry Ellison told analysts during a conference call. About 90 percent of Siebel’s customer support, engineering and sales staff is being retained, Ellison said.
