I see some „open to work” status from (already former) Oracle’s employees posted yesterday on Lkdn. How many were laid off?
Any update about Poland?

For those affected by this site closure happening end of summer- whats your plan?
Going to city?
Looking for work elsewhere?
Already found something else and much happier where you are?
Retirees good for you congratulations 🎊 but this is directed toward those who cant retire yet. Thanks

Or, to rephrase that, can you ask to be considered for a different role instead of taking the severance? And if nothing is available, then accept the severance instead?

Arizona's workforce network is organizing job fairs and career workshops for over 700 employees and 400 contractors laid off from Lucid's Casa Grande plant. These events aim to connect displaced workers with new employment opportunities. The state agency is providing free resume help, interview preparation, and career coaching. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to support individuals navigating career transitions. The goal is to keep affected workers within the local labor force.

Was told last week I'm benched. Part of Bridge. The insurance customer funding us dried up several months ago. Should I have started applying last week? I'm hopeful I can placed internally.

I haven't interview prepped in years. I heard the job market is seriously different than when they were handing out jobs like candy during COVID. how cooked am I?

Since all of the layoffs over the past 6-12 months, I’ve been actively applying for internal and external jobs. I finally got an interview internally, but I’m curious what are everyone’s opinions on what parts of the company would not be worth moving to? Thanks all, have a good week.

For those who moved up internally, how many jobs did you apply to, to get a new role internally? In the US.

This is something I’ve never encountered before. It’s draining and but keeping hope alive. Just thought I’d share

It's been nearly two decades since I last interviewed. I'm thrilled and terrified at the same time.

I've been considering using a staffing agency to help with my job search, but I don't know much about them in general. Has anyone here used them before? Were they helpful? And if not, what other options would you recommend instead?

With today's announcement of four days in office, it's time for some of us to leave. Has anyone had luck finding remote positions?

The industry is tough so I’m being proactive and looking into open technology positions at Truist. Any advice or warnings to share? Keep it real with me folks!

Got a phone interview scheduled with another company for this Friday afternoon. The position is with a local oncology clinic. Starting pay pretty dang close to what I make now after ten years. I didn't take the VSP, and obviously haven't been notified if my position within EBOS is being cut as I guess that's supposed to happen within the next couple of weeks or so. But with all that going on in CC with seemingly no positive changes on the horizon, it might be wise for me to, in the famous words of Cobra Kai, "strike first." What do y'all think?

Hard Pill to swallow but due to no job offer and single salary, my hand is forced. See you all on the commute. Might get used to the 2 hour daily commute in a Tesla.

Let’s motivate ourselves to leave. I’ve applied for 3 so far and I’m applying for at least one today. How many jobs have you applied for so far?

Was invited for quick meeting at 9:30AM for 30 minutes.
My manager along with someone from TPO joined the call.
RIF terms to be kept confidential.
My manager promised me to consider me when some position open,
TPO asked me to forward resume to cognizant manager as I have 10+ years experience in FIS.
For last few weeks, was working on process documentation. I think that was indication for what was coming.

It is tough out here finding a new job. If you have one with benefits and good pay try to make it work. It will get better some day, but it is really bad right now. I have been looking for a while after leaving Oxy and the whole job situation has changed. On the techinical side each opening (if it is really an opening) gets 100's of resumes if not more. A lot of the jobs are ghost jobs on LinkedIn and other sites, and it is just a je-k around of people trying to get your data and then selling it. I have applied to many jobs and got one Teams interview and that had been it. I know sometimes your situation might be bad at work, but believe me it is terrible out here on the job market. I am not with HR and just want to let all my old Oxy co-workers know how bad it is. Make the most of what you have in hand.

We're probably okay for the moment. But the end of the year is going to be rough. Might as well start looking now.

I know it's tempting to wait and see what happens, but finding work is way easier when you're not desperate. This place is going nowhere fast, so why stick around?

Per changes to renewal of H1B visas, the administration has changed the policy.
H1B work visas will not have 1.5 years automatic extension, rather the visa holders need to go back to their country.

Use this situation in your favor. If FIS is not giving you increment or treating you badly, leave and find a new job.

I left Target HQ 3 years ago and really want to come back. Does Target generally hire previous employees if they left on good terms? Do you have an advantage in the hiring process?

Hey everyone! Does anyone have any recent job interview tips? It’s been a long time since I last interviewed, so I’m feeling a bit rusty. Please post some tips if you have any!

Hey everyone! Let’s help each other out—drop your best resume tips or favorite formatting hacks below so we can all level up our applications!

Has anyone genuinely had any luck with their job search? I must say multiple rejections do not make this situation easier. Good luck to us all! I’m sure something better is coming for us!

Levi Strauss & Co. will eliminate 303 positions. This action stems from closing its Hebron, Kentucky facility. The company aims to outsource more logistics capabilities. Job losses are scheduled to start on August 30. Some affected staff may apply for other company roles.

If I put in notice in the US, do they walk me out immediately? If I don't put in notice, will that make me ineligible for rehire? Should I wait on notice to see if I am part of the next layoff? I'm a software developer going to a hardware company.

To the folks that have knowledge of the layoffs and willing to share. It’s su-k being laid off but at least you are prepared for it and not blind sided one day. Gives you time to look for other jobs and get your finances in order.

How is everyone doing?

Have not found anything worth my time yet. There were some initial interviews where they wanted me to take a skills evaluation. I basically told them in a nice way to pound sand.

I am not some rookie out of college.

Initially, I was saying eff this... after 15 years - and they pull this stunt, let me take the money and run - but then I added up the taxes and considering that I have yet to get a single interview for ANYTHING... I decided to change my answer to decline the VSP... so now what? Hope I bought myself some time and hope I wont get sacked...at least not till I find something suitable. What a nightmare. Truly.

I've been job hunting for a while now, and I've gotten some offers, but nothing that matches what I make here. That's pretty concerning because Exxon hasn't been known for top-tier pay for years, yet the offers I'm getting are still noticeably lower. I knew the market had softened, but I didn't realize it was this bad.

I've been through the layoff process and I wanted to share what I learned. I was able to find a new position within a couple months, but I'll be honest, it wasn't because of anything I did at Oracle. The industry is well aware of what's happening at this company and they're not exactly impressed. So when you're interviewing, focus on the skills you've built, not the brand name.

Is it possible for Verizon employees to move to Pharma domain? I am asking because Basking Ridge and surrounding areas are filled with every pharma company on the planet earth with good paying salary.
I am not asking for someone who works in core Network but more like AI / Data/ product etc.
Now job search is not going to inevitable.. have you seen people crossing over from Verizon to Pharma?

Hi guys-
I’ve never referred anyone before but my husband has been out of work for 4 months and a role is opening up (5 day internal hold right now) for the public that he is 100% qualified for.

Looking for anyone with experience in the referral process. Please don’t say “don’t do it” we can’t live on a one household income. Do they always call referrals? Does it flag to HR? Is there a way to message the hiring manager? We have different last names and won’t be announcing our relationship status.

Even when I was still employed at WF several jobs posted did not list the salary. I had to email the recruiter listed and ask them what the pay was. I've found that this behavior has increased and not just at WF. Is saying you want a job for the money really so taboo? Why would anyone apply for a job when they don't know how much it pays?

Yes, we are actually looking for CE for our customer in the South of England to maintain IBM legacy equipment. So if you have been recently laid off or are about to be, let me know.

That's 100% the only reason why I'm still here.

Denied promotion once again.
Expectations of me growing higher and higher.
Doing great work and being praised for it, but because im not su-king off higher grades about sh-t I dont give a flying fu-k about, and not inserting myself in meetings unnecessarily, DENIED.

How does one start finding a job elsewhere ? I have 5 years of experience.
My interview skills have 10 layers of cobwebs and dust.
