“Earlier today Sun Microsystems announced that it would be cutting 3,000 members of its workforce, less than a year after the company announced plans to lay off up to 6,000 of its employees. Sun blamed the latest wave of layoffs on delays involved in Oracle’s acquisition of the company, which was annouced last April but is currently being held up by European regulators.”

“‘Dell Inc. announced today that it will close its plant in Forsyth County by the end of January, cutting 905 full-time jobs, including 600 by mid-November,’ The Winston-Salem Journal reports.

‘The decision comes just two days after the $110 million plant turned four years old,’ The Winston-Salem Journal reports. ‘The plant is considered as the largest and highest profile incentive project in Triad history, with Dell eligible for up to $315 million in local and state incentives.’”
