169,217 in #general

1.50am UK Time 4th Sep

#general Oracle One had 161k in March 2023. It was 178k on 8/28/25 and now at 169k

68 laid off for the past 1.5h, which is just east coast

Tracking is easy with writing down participants count in #general slack channel, as it reflects loss of access and is the best real-time approximation available.

September 2nd night started with 172796, now it's 169220

If anyone within Oracle doesn't mind having a look at Oracle One #general slack channel and giving us a membership count...yesterday it seems like about 4,000 were impacted. We appreciate it.

• 68 for the past 1.5h in #general, it's slower pace than yesterday, but it's just east coast being hit. We will see in few hours.

@a6 Easiest to just track the members in the #general slack channel. It was well over 172K yesterday am, and is now down to 169K

If they disappear from Slack, it's a sure indicator they lost access. Everyone is automatically subscribed to #general Slack channel and nobody bothers to leave it, so it's the best approximator of layoffs with immediate loss of access. It's very unlikely those are catchup disconnects from 2 weeks back.

yes tracking members of #general is the way to go
#watercooler numbers can go up or down as other slack orgs add the channel for people to announce they are gone!

@ab #general is at 169269 right now

3430 for the past 24 hours based on #general participants count change

#general started from 172796 starting today.

So far 3k jobs were lost today alone

The best way is via the #general channel which was about 172k a few hours ago and now it's under 170k.

#general oracle one had 173k and now 169k

@b4 Which channel? Definitely wasn't #all-company or #general. I tried searching but came up empty.
