Since leaving his post as CEO of Sun Microsystems in February, Jonathan Schwartz has been largely quiet, despite promises to update his movements via Twitter and his blog. Now he's turned up on the board of Taleo.
Sun founder Scott McNealy yesterday holstered the snark and poured his heart out in a farewell letter to company employees and stakeholders.
If Oracle Corp.'s acquisition of Sun Microsystems Inc. goes as planned, CEO Jonathan Schwartz will receive a severance package of about US$12 million, and board chairman and co-founder Scott McNealy, about US$9.5 million, according to the proxy statement filed Monday.
It's the end of an era at Sun Microsystems.
