Oracle to Layoff 2000 Jobs 178
Joey Benington writes "Oracle plans to cut 2,000 jobs across the Siebel and Oracle work forces after completing its merger with Siebel last week. 'We will retain 90 percent of Siebel's support, development engineers, sales and sales consultants,' said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. 'Most of the Siebel cuts will be in the back office, and nontechnical staff. The majority of the cuts will be Oracle people, not Siebel.'"

"It should read, "Oracle to layoff 2000 people" Not jobs, people. People are losing their jobs. Its a sad thing."
Now that you've broken the ice on the pedantry thing, can I just say that it should be "Oracle to lay off 2,000 people"?
