Tech Layoffs to Top 1,000 in Bay Area by Late May, State Reports Show:

Tech and web-based companies intend to cut well over 1,000 jobs in the Bay Area between now and Memorial Day, according to new official filings with [California] state labor officials.

SAP, Oracle America, PayPal, Instacart and Thin Film Electronics are among the technology companies that have alerted the state's Employment Development Department of their intentions to reduce staffing levels.

All told, about 1,100 jobs will be lost through the employment reductions being planned by the five companies, WARN notices filed with the state EDD show.

According to the filing, SAP will eliminate 446 jobs — 179 in Palo Alto, 173 in San Ramon and 94 in South San Francisco.

Oracle intends to cut 352 positions: 255 in Redwood City and 97 in Santa Clara.

PayPal plans to reduce staffing levels by 183 jobs: 160 in San Jose and 23 in San Francisco. The South Bay job cuts are slated to occur at the e-commerce titan's offices on North First Street in San Jose.

Thin Film Electronics has issued an alert of 54 upcoming job cuts in San Jose.

Given the high cost of living in the area, let's hope none of them end up homeless.

    Thank you, I didn't forget. But I'll addendum this. California is a SAD State of Disaster. One of the saddest. And that's for many reasons. But they all boil down to, too many votes for Democrat Party. Some of those votes are real. But many are Fake -- known as Voter Fraud. "People" coming across our Southern Border and California says they can vote as many times as they want. Which is why I'm closing the border next week.

    Couple of very bad things happening in California. The Crooked Failed California Bullet Train to Nowhere. Was supposed to go from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San Diego at supersonic speed. Sounds great, right? But, they have the Democrat Party in charge. They changed the plan, they're doing a new route. They canceled San Fran. Canceled L.A. Canceled San Diego. Now it's Madera to Shafter. Places nobody heard of before, they weren't famous. They're famous for the train. These were little farming towns. We love our farmers, they're not big Bullet Train folks. And I'm sure they'll be taking Bullet Train now and then. "Oh, my hogs look very hungry, I'll take the train to Shafter and buy them some Hog Food!" But it's going to take a long time to pay back the $77 billion of building the tracks, the trains, the everything. Was supposed to be a lot less but, Democrats are running it. And they ran up the bill.

    Another thing, this one's even worse. The California Dems decided to divert all their water to Pacific Ocean. They call it Rivers. They put down concrete and it's a concrete slab with concrete walls. Looks just like a turnpike with the concrete to drive on and the concrete sound walls. It's not a turnpike. They call it, as I said, a River. And they could drive on that one and frankly it would be much better than their turnpikes, their highways. Except a couple of times a year when they divert billions and trillions of gallons of water through that one. You're driving along, or being driven, it rains. Big wall of water. And suddenly you're in the middle of the ocean.

    They don't save their water. They get a lot of water coming down -- known as rain -- they don't keep it. And we're always hearing "oh, such a terrible drought in California." It's not a drought. It's, you diverted all your water to the ocean, now it's gone. So they can't water their forests. They could have beautiful forests -- the envy of the world -- if they would only WATER & RAKE.

    But, they don't. So their forests are very "sick." Very bad and very sick. And they burn very easily. When they burn it spreads like wildfire. Camp Fire, sounds nice right? It wasn't nice. I went to Pleasure, California. Little town and it must have been a beautiful little town. But the fire came through and left nothing but ashes. So many "people" dieing there, very sad state of disaster. And they came crying to my F.E.M.A. "oh, please give us money, our forests are burning horribly!" And it was horrible. But, it was their own fault. We gave them the money, because I'm a guy that has a lot of heart. But next time, maybe I'll tell them, no. You want our money, you need to clean up your act. It's called tough love. And sometimes it's the only way when you're dealing with dumb Dems. Sorry!!!!
