I was going to apply for a job in that group but second guessing because of instability being caused by mass layoffs.

Not suprised oracle is laying ppl off. They’ve done 150+ acquisitions and the same thing happens every damn time... staff bail or get cut. This Has Happened MANY Times Before!!!!! oracle doesnt care about your job, they care about tech, customers, and $$$. once they buy a company, they gut the overlap, toss people they dont need, and shove the rest into whatever buzzword strategy they’re chasing (cloud, ai, whatever sounds cool to wall street). turnover there is already huge, so add an acquisition and yeah... ppl are basically walking severance packages waiting to happen. remember sun microsystems, peoplesoft, bea? same playbook. oracle buys, oracle cuts, oracle moves on. so if you’re shocked, idk what to tell you. layoffs are not a bug in oracle world, they’re the feature. ....

The truth is finally coming out.
Is Cisco doing this?

Does anyone know who is deciding who is shortlisted for the jobs after we all apply?

Consult Partners Hiring?

Heard from an external recruiter that Kyndryl is hiring 20+ Consult Partners in the US, at $250k+ base. How accurate is that?

Would anyone recommend pursuing the opportunity? How's the interview process? How's the current situation at the company (layoffs, contract orders, etc)? Are the current projects really based on cloud, AI/ML, IoT, as their website says?

And have no clue what to do if I’m laid off. I’ve been looking into other jobs for months now, and I’m completely depressed from the experience. I truly hope others have had more luck, and that the problem is just my particular circumstances or bad luck. If not, then we’re all royally sc--wed.

“ Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. laid off 41 Akron-based employees last week, part of a continued restructuring that will cut more than 3,000 jobs across the company in the coming years.

The announcement comes on top of an earlier notice that Goodyear, which is based in Akron, plans in early 2025 to move 175 local jobs to Costa Rica and lay off employees here.”

I highly doubt the SD employees are looking to leave.. they are too retarded to know that they work for a terrible company. The accounting department gets paid shit, and they have been with the company longer than any other department. They are possibly the laziest and stupidest people I have ever come across. The real estate department could never get another job like that in SD, so they are staying. I can see the SF employees leaving because there are tons of jobs and opportunities for them in SF. In SD, these people enjoy being abused.
