Novell cutting more heads?
Novell employees should brace for more layoffs, beyond the 100 or so the company has officially discussed.
Chief executive Ron Hovsepian has told the company's employees in Germany that more cuts are coming, sources close to the company have told The Register.
"The day after Hovsepian said no more cuts beyond 100, he told German employees (as per German law) that there would be more cuts coming," the source said.
It also seems that the 100 or so that have been announced could be a conservative count, with this initial round going deeper.
"I'm hearing from all over the company that, in fact, the cuts are deeper than '100 employees,'" the source said.
The company's internal IT group is one area about to feel the cuts. The group has provided a range of IT implementations using Novell's GroupWise collaboration and productivity package, ZenWorks desktop management, eDirectory, and remote access.
