Novell makes cuts to workforce

US based software provider Novell laid off three percent of its workforce last week, according to CNET News. Ian Bruce, Novell's public relations director, confirmed that 100 to 130 jobs were cut by the Linux company, despite Linux jobs in the US being up by six percent since January.

Novell, which employs roughly 3,900 people across the globe, has offered those affected by the job cuts several months of severance pay, apparently based on the number of year's they've worked for the company.
