Burn em up. Spend as many AI tokens as humanly possible. Analyze all your repos and generate charts and docs etc. Basically you have a free pass to burn as many tokens as possible. Collectively we all have a responsibility to spend as much AI dollars that Oracle has. So don’t be shy about your use of AI. Use it everywhere and for everything. Oracle will pay the bill in the end after all.

Check the 10-Q
ORCL has increased the budget for restructuring
Look at https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001341439/751a926c-6f62-4baf-8f51-80cbcafdc616.pdf and search for "Restructuring Plan"

$982m has been spent from a budget of $2,103

That means over $1.1bn will be spent on restructuring (layoffs) in Q4.

The storm is coming

the remaining restructuring budget mentioned in report is : $639M

if they target high-pay areas (US/Canada Seniors): The number of layoffs will be lower (closer to 10k–12k) because the $639M will run out faster.

If they target low-pay areas (Global Support/QA): They can easily hit the 20,000 number to reach that 30k total. - this include the 10k from late 2025 as its under the same budget mentioned in the earning reports

Why is he still around? Shankar and Vivek sat on legacy systems for so so long. I remember a struggle few years ago when I wanted us to move to better new backend system but I was shut down saying they do not have budget.

I am pretty sure they wasted millions of dollars on hiring contractors to rip off Verizon.

Where and when will these new offices open that they mention on the RTO email ?

Kinda hard to imagine they will spend money on opening offices in the US

How much did we pay for the land where we said we would build a Carlsbad office and never have? The other operators accepted it for free but we paid for it because we didn’t want to agree to providing a certain number of jobs in Carlsbad. Funny to see the guy who made that decision promoted.

Belk has now resorted to giving store managers, unattainable and unrealistic PACES and budget as a way to push certain managers out.
How can a smaller door have a more rigorous set of PACES than a larger door?
Well, It’s happening. If you are hitting specific paces, they will be increasing them to something unattainable. This is all a set up!

At this point everything they do is just laughable. They have budget to expand the leadership team but no funds for the people actually doing the operation work. We now have a ‘growth officer’, what’s next, a Head of extra growth?

I recently was RIF after 28 years of service. Can I roll over my severance to an IRA to avoid taxes. At 64 most likely will be treading on a tight budget. God Bless all the Good Folks

Did they ever come out for stores? Or our we still waiting?

POV: You’re a CISO evaluating vendors. One has actual detections and low false positives. The other has a Super Bowl ad spot and a golf tournament named after them. Easy choice… if your budget is for ads, not security. ⛳📈

When they tell you 3% is all they had in the budget for you this year.

If I decline to move, any ideas on what the timeline looks like to get the official layoff notice? I hear that puts me on "the list" but I'm more curious what that means for timeline / budget purposes. I want to find a new job, but I want to do it in the right order.

Thanks!

Targeting the level 15 was long overdue. Most of them were promoted due to favoritism and not talented and do not contribute anything significant over a level 13.

Many of the grade 15 I knew were given LoP out of favoritism, failed many deliverables and instead of being put on PIP, was covered by their manager pulling corporate politics. The 15 were getting paid more than midpoint.

The majority of 15 in TOS are a serious waste of the department budget and I approve of them getting laid off and they won't be missed.

Is there any updates?

I know the budgets for the store teams came out, but have the budgets for the management team came out? Or any changes in jobs for managers/captains. Any layoffs or role changes being talked about?
