Novell Layoffs in Europe, Starting in Denmark
Following rumours about layoffs at Novell (this includes the United States), something more concrete gets published in the Danish press. A Groklaw member translates the article at hand:
Novell fires people in Denmark Acording to Version2′s sources, the company has started heavy restructuring of activities, both in Denmark and Europe. The first layoffs have already begun in Denmark.
Doubts about our speculations, including Bruce Lowry’s denial, can no longer do the trick and fool us. Unless, of course, Novell is gradually offshoring.
We are very sorry to hear about the loss of jobs (and especiaily sorry for those who lost them). Some of us are only critical because of Novell’s lack of transparency and disappointing strategy, which scrutinises what could have been their true friends and allies.
