Greetings! This is my first time posting here. I have heard through the grapevine that RIF's are coming to EMEA in October for some of the Irish sites. Can anybody confirm if this is true?

If anyone has any more details, apart from what was already shared here for Ireland, please let us know.

It was confirned yo us on an AMER team meeting that Cairo office to be shut, severance to be paid to 180+ employees, plus potential option to move to capgemini... Just like that eh wow.

The town hall meeting in Ireland was very brief, lasting less than seven minutes.
Employees were not given an opportunity to ask questions, and participants could only see the two organizers on the call. Attendance was limited to the lines of business directly impacted.

Key points communicated to employees:
A Collective Redundancy Scenario will take place.
No specific organization was named.
113 roles in Ireland will be affected:
14 in Finance
21 in Marketing
78 in Engineering/Technical
The consultation period will begin on Friday, 19 September.

Got an email from HR stating restructuring impacting my role— there’s a meeting tomorrow. It’s a town hall, not 1:1. Consultations happening over the next few weeks.

CNBC is planning new staff cuts in its international division. About two dozen jobs may be affected, mostly in London and Singapore, with some in other cities. The layoffs are focused on the digital editorial team. Because of UK labor rules, the cuts are in a consultation period before they can be finalized.

These changes come as parent company NBCUniversal prepares to spin off most of its cable networks into a new group called Versant. Bravo will remain with NBCUniversal, but CNBC and others will move. The spinoff is expected soon and is hiring around 750 new staff. Sources say the CNBC layoffs are not directly linked to the Versant launch.

The international arm of CNBC is led by Deep Bagchee, who took over in 2024. He replaced John Casey, a long-time leader at the network. Bagchee has been guiding CNBC’s global coverage in a media world that is shifting quickly to digital.

The outcome of the consultation process will decide how many people lose their jobs. For now, CNBC is trying to cut costs while still aiming to keep its reputation as a top source for business news worldwide.

Long story short, there is going to be significant changes, at least the mail suggested that, anyone's got any clue??

I haven't seen/heard anything hitting EMEA just yet and its just a waiting game which is not ideal

Today's rumour is that oracle is taking to EWC mid September. Was not told who the source of the info is. Likely no action in EMEA until the end of the month or October then?
OP: @a4+1k4ca9jw4

Will converse EMEA ops be impacted? I haven't heard

I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way — I’m genuinely curious to understand how conversations landed and the shifts this week. Which functions have been most affected, and if your title changed, what did that look like for you?

I’ve heard a little about individuals moving into a different FoP but not much beyond that, so just trying to get a clearer picture from your perspective before the meeting on the 10th

From a fellow EMEA colleague trying not to twiddle thumbs

Do you know that in EMEA they cancelled all company cars, no more. All savings, everywhere. If anything happen with OpenAI deal for 30B$....

Will there be cuts in EMEA? I haven’t seen anything so far and me and my colleagues are freaking out. I’m talking about ops mainly, in the GIUs (which apparently are not called GIUs anymore)

Does anyone know if PCA in EMEA is getting impacted?

Does anyone have more information about today’s reorg announcement at EMEA/ ELC?

Were there any layoffs today in APAC/EMEA so far?

hey everyone! does anyone know if EMEA Apps will be impacted and what the timelines would be? I am sure that being in Europe it takes a bit more time to do the paperwork, but I am curious if anyone has any info. thanks!

Have layoffs started in EMEA for NetSuite?

Am I cooked?
Czech Republic, EMEA, NetSuite

Which departments are affected? Good luck to all of us.

When is it happening for GT EMEA?

Any update on the layoffs in EMEA?

I was part of the RIF in May 2025 and have been watching from the sidelines ever since. I’m still interested in how the SEC program is faring now that so many people have left.

Accenture was meant to pick up most of the workload after the cuts. Have they managed to keep the SEC and EMEA conversion, along with the related upgrades, on the original timeline? Also curious how the other verticals are being supported, especially the legacy systems in the SAP space.

Any anonymous insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When will EMEA reorg start? Aren't they supposed to still go through the Tech reorg?

This is mostly for non-Oracle people reading this mess. I've summarized last 100 posts here on layoffs.com:

Based on the provided text, Oracle is in the process of a major, multi-phase reduction in its workforce. The layoffs are described by employees as part of a strategic shift to cut costs and reinvest in artificial intelligence (AI).

The layoffs are impacting a broad range of employees across different departments, levels, and regions.

• Geographic Locations: The cuts are confirmed to have impacted the US, specifically in California and Arizona, with 161 layoffs in Seattle alone and 143 in the Bay Area. Layoffs have also been reported in Canada and India, with "hundreds of roles affected."
• Business Units & Teams: The primary focus of the layoffs appears to be the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) division. Specific teams and products mentioned as being affected include:
  • Fusion Applications (FA)
  • Database (DB)
  • NetSuite, with the entire support team in Canada (60 people) and teams in Kitchener being laid off.
  • JET, VB, and ADF product teams.
  • Legacy applications like EBS, Siebel, and PeopleSoft.
  • Industries such as Utilities and Construction.
  • The OCI AI team and AI/ML project management roles.
• Employee Profile: The layoffs are not targeting a single demographic. The text notes that cuts are being made to "H1Bs and US citizens," "Employees based in India and in the US," and "Employees at all levels up to SVP." It is also mentioned that "High performers" and those with "Exceeds Expectations" ratings were let go, along with long-time employees with over 20 years of tenure. One post claims a "senior VP" with "25yrs poof" was laid off.

The layoffs are not a single event but a phased process occurring over several months.

• Mid-August: The initial wave began with meetings and notifications in mid-August, with some employees' access being cut off immediately after a short call.
• September: Multiple sources point to a major wave in September, with one post stating, "EMEA will be hit in September. The list of people is in the system already." Another says, "September 2nd is what I heard for another unit in Europe."
• October: Public WARN filings in California and Washington confirm layoffs taking effect around mid-October. A post mentions, "Next round is Oct 13-15 based upon USA WARN filings in WA and CA."

The provided text suggests that more layoffs are to come and offers various reasons for the cuts.

• Total Number of Layoffs: There is no official number, but rumors and estimates range from 8,000 to "10% across entier company," which would be approximately 18,000 people.
• Strategic Direction: The main reason cited is a strategic shift to cut costs and reinvest in AI. The text explicitly states, "The supposed GDP boosts from hiring workers failed to materialize in reality due to the fact that all wages paid are getting saved instead of circulating throughout the economy." The company is reportedly shifting from a "cash cow" model to "reinvest it in AI."
• Managerial Structure: The text suggests that the company is "bloated with middle tier manager's" and that a "Mid mgmt reduction" is necessary.
• Severance and Benefits: Severance packages are reported to be "4 weeks for first year of employment. One more week for each additional year of employment. Maximum is 26 weeks." Employees have concerns about what happens to their unvested Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), with some noting that they "lost the other 3" years of stock. One employee mentions, "Our group lost a few who were close to retiring anyway but also a few who had no plans. The job market is never as good as you would like but it can always be worse."
• Morale and Culture: The layoffs have had a significant negative impact on morale, with employees expressing feelings of shock, disbelief, and survivor's guilt. The text quotes a post that reads, "You are cattle." and another stating, "I'm getting the fu--k out of here ASAP...I've never seen this before."

It will be announced that a new geo will be formed AMER which stands for Americas north and south.

APLA will disband and GC will become APAC.

EMEA will remain but absorb India becoming EMEIA

CS - AMER
CG - EMEIA
AD - APAC

TP will once again retire

What is the status for EMEA countries? Will they be impacted with layoffs? I am focused on Poland.Do you have any info?

Is this confirmed?

Coming soon, should be done by August end. Same quotas. Lists submitted weeks ago. Few APAC countries first, then EMEA. That said OCIs timeline will be a bit different than GBUs, OHAI and so on.
OP: @a5+1k2mw425c

CS, they will be promoted to VP/GM America's a new geo combining na and LA, GC will be transformed to apac and EMea will remain the same.

Congratulations to them once returned from sabbatical

I am super excited for Wellness week , it's best time for rest and recovery, but hardly breathing coz Lay-offs around the corner for EMEA Tech
What do you suggest to east the anxiety?
Can the peers share any insights, Positive/Negative will do, just don't be insensitive.
EMEA being on delayed timeline just driving me crazy, I just want this to over af

If you are impacted, what are the things you can/should ask for except for the severance? Outplacement support? Therapy? Keeping equipment? What? I'm sure there are things and resources that are available but you have to know what to ask for.

I'm EMEA based, but surely some of these are global as well. Let me know! When/if I'm impacted I want to make sure I drain every single resource along the way.

I joined Fiserv in BH earlier this month and confused by all the mentions of India. On many sheets with headcount and capacity planning, they list USA employees and India employees.

Is this company related to India?
Is offshore entirely India or are there other locations in EMEA or Latam?

Just not sure why they would only hire India for offshore if we’re not formally an Indian company by any means

Just confused by all this

Again layoffs. Sales people numbers going down. Ireland office kicked out lots of people. Crazy again.

We had SEC in early May, and GT in early June.
Sure we still have EMEA folks on a different schedule, however there's been no other announcements. Especially in enabling functions, which usually follow tech.

Rumor has it, it will take place after the summer, somewhere in september. Anyone else heard otherwise? I wonder as now it seems the reorg will also happen in business so not sure if works council will review it as one big reorg or tech will go first.
