Barely within a few miles from where I work, comes this news of gruesome murder. Layoffs are getting more common in the valley and more disturbing news on the layoffs kept coming the whole week. Both the enterprise focused and consumer focused organizations are getting affected. The San Jose Mercury News reports that Jing Hua Wu, after being laid off the previous day from his job at Siport, a fabless digital radio semiconductor startup in Santa Clara, came back to the office on Friday afternoon with a gun and killed three people. Sid Agrawal, the company’s CEO, and Brian Pugh, VP Operations, were killed along with one other as yet unidentified woman. The report adds, Wu has since been arrested.As Mike says this is a sad day in the valley. Our heart goes out to the families of the victims.
