#layoff

Any idea if there is any layoff in Australia and New Zealand?

Are they usually in the morning or any time of day?

I was so happy when I joined Oracle five years ago, thinking I've found my long term career. Today was a brutal reminder how untrue that was and how temporary that security really was. I'm now jobless and disillusioned - not a good combination.

I'm new, and it's pretty shocking to me that people are so used to layoffs every other week. Is it really happening so often?

Each team had budget (no surprise) but also a RSU reduction as a metric!

I keep seeing post about October layoffs but no one is saying what department is in jeopardy? Do we not know? I’m just wondering if this time if it will be claims, benefits, Behavior Health, Evicore??? I know IT has already been hit pretty hard this year but wondering who’s department is next

All the people downvoting others saying that layoff will be today on 9/14 and 9/15 IDC… turns out those whistleblowers were indeed correct.

Bunch of clowns here downvoting good info for no reason.

The moment you spend everyday worrying about a layoff is your personal red flag to get out of that position/team or out of this company.
I am so glad I moved on.
No more micromanaging cr-p and no more unrealistic expectations. Gotta do what’s best for you.

Just heard from an IC, we’ll see if true

Well the Fall layoff has begun!

This is why I need multiple jobs smh

HR sent an email out to people whose DFS job code doesn’t match a CapOne job code. Basically saying we need to apply to open reqs since our roles will be eliminated before the end of the DFS integration in Q2. It’s crazy because I’ve been working on the CapOne side for almost a year and they won’t just convert me. Another tactic they are using to get people to leave so they don’t have to pay severance.

Just an FYI,
I noticed that a few people had slack accounts deactivated this morning.

One just slacked me Sunday morning letting me know about a ticket update.

Curious if others are effected?

For those who received the ISP. Has anyone gotten the letter? I have only received the email for returning the equipment.

How high will it go? I sold most of my CVX years ago. I still have a good chunk but def not one of those all CVX EE’s. I’m mid career and already looking for the off rap. Building that 401k and pension till the next lay off. I’ve gotten nearly 20 years and this is a totally different company. Just going to take my job the best I can and ride it out as long as I can as well.

Has anyone heard anything credible regarding notifications this week or upcoming cuts in October?

I was laid off and in the email you get it says provide a personal email for further correspondence and docs etc. I gave my name, work email, and personal email. It has been an hour and no docs. Any body get theirs? Did they take a while or right away?

Have been you notified? If yes what time local and mind may mentioned the group or who you are?

If you were impacted, FYI I was laid off many years ago, turned out to be a great career move.

I told my manager to put me on the list and here I am laid off. It’s time for a new start and I couldn’t be happier. They did sc--w us a bit on health coverage, it’s done in 3 days.

So far I’ve only seen one LinkedIn post about a layoff.

Is the layoff true or a lie?

Who would leave without a second thought if they were able to land an offer, even if the pay was slightly lower?

I was just laid off . So far we lost 6 people. No email, just access denied. F&B GBU

George Washington University's Law School has implemented layoffs as part of a restructuring effort. This decision stems from ongoing financial challenges faced by the institution. The law school's dean cited new legislation, shifts in funding and financial aid, and demographic changes as contributing factors. These layoffs follow similar reductions at two other schools within the university this fiscal year. The university has announced broader budget cuts to address its financial position.

Today Oracle has released me to meet my future head on with no impediments for this former remote OCI gal. I love a good rollercoaster ride, so here's to looking for, and finding, all the silver linings and rainbows. They shouldn't be too hard to find if I keep my rose colored glasses within reach.

The Miami Herald has laid off 30 employees as part of broader cost-cutting measures by McClatchy Media. Among those affected was Greg Cote, a sports reporter who had been with the newspaper for 54 years. Cote announced his departure on social media, noting it occurred on his birthday. His colleagues on The Dan Le Batard Show shared the news in a lighthearted video. Cote plans to discuss the details of his layoff on his podcast.

Has anyone been transferred to a new team multiple times in the same year? And not under the same director. Is this a sign of a layoff coming?

Acclaimed virtual reality developer Polyarc Games has officially shut down after nearly twelve years in business. The Seattle-based studio confirmed its closure on September 11, 2026, impacting 29 employees. This follows a significant layoff in March 2026 after a major project lost its funding. Polyarc was best known for its award-winning Moss series. The studio's final release was a non-VR version of its catalog.

Unable to access email, VPN, etc.

Can somebody please either share or tell me where I can find company severance info? I'd just like to know what to expect in case of layoffs.
