Nice take-away quote.
I wonder how many employees read these sort of corporate broadcast emails all the way through. That being said, it's interesting to hear Jonathan Schwartz hand the torch off so thoroughly.
"And the most effective mechanism I’ve seen for driving that commitment begins with a simple, but emotionally difficult step.
"Upon change in control, every employee needs to emotionally resign from Sun. Go home, light a candle, and let go of the expectations and assumptions that defined Sun as a workplace. Honor and remember them, but let them go.
"For those that ultimately won’t become a part of Oracle, this will be the first step in a new adventure."
Poignant and disturbing.
A very sad day for Sun. A very sad day for the tech world.
Finally, it's easy for Jonathan to say to his employees to go home and light a candle because even if he is going to be out of work he is gaining $17+ million from this acquisition. One word - Irony!!!
I wish all the best to all the ex-sun employees!
