#layoffs

This is one of the worest way address your financial issues you don't know how Runa company as nd to save your a-s you are effecting the lives of employees. You are not even calling them employees you are saying resources like a chalk if you re done writing handing over to other person to use. WE ARE PEOPLE NOT CHALK SO TREAT US LIKE ONE. If you have problems tell us upfront and be a human and tell us on the face rather you made our lives LIVING HE-L. Constantly laying off reshaping rebadging riffing people ( sorry resources) and playing with them. YOU ARE NOT ONLY EFFECING PEOPLE YOU ARE EFFECTING FAMILIES YOU ARE RIPPING THE DAMILIES APART.

It’s not easy pulling off cutting 30k people in a single day. I’d almost call it impressive. If only they were that good at other things, like figuring out how to improve the bottom line without laying off that many people. You know, which should be known as doing their jobs.

That's improvisation without a plan.

Poof. Even amid massive layoffs, they've managed to target quality.

Like many of you, I got my notice earlier this morning. The attached paperwork said my last day on the books is 4/10, however I was expecting a 60 day notice due out of Redwood Shores to the WARN Act, but I am considered a remote employee. Is anyone else in this boat? Do you think Oracle is getting around the CA WARN act somehow ?

Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email

Close to 50 people. Not location based.

There is too.much supply vs demand, one way to fix this is to cancel h1bs right away

Axes 30k with a cold am email? VZ is warm and fuzzy in comparison.

Stop laying off every 3 months. Do one and done. Stop changing plans please. People will be more productive.

While this doesn't tell us the exact number, we saw 775 jobs cut in supply centers, so the figure will probably be less than that, especially since tech cuts turn around higher cost reduction per head than distribution centers.

Here what your Ai told about your strategy.

When a major tech giant like Oracle handles mass layoffs through a single, impersonal email, it doesn’t just affect those leaving—it fundamentally alters the "psychological contract" for those who stay.
While leadership often views this as a "clean break" to minimize legal risk or logistical chaos, the remaining staff (the "survivors") usually interpret it through a much darker lens. Here is the kind of image and environment this creates:

1. The "Transaction-Only" Relationship.
   By choosing an automated email over human conversation, the company signals that employees are line items, not partners. For the remaining staff, the message is clear: No matter how many years you put in or how many "all-hands" meetings talk about "family" or "culture," you are ultimately a replaceable unit of labor. This often leads to a "quiet quitting" mindset where employees stop going above and beyond because they realize loyalty is a one-way street.

2. Chronic Psychological Insecurity
   When a layoff is sudden and impersonal, it creates a "Who’s Next?" culture.

The Shadow of the Inbox: Every time an "All-Company" email notification pops up, staff experience a spike in cortisol.
Risk Aversion: Employees become afraid to innovate or take risks because they don't want to stand out or make a mistake that could land them in the next batch of automated cuts.

1. Survivor Syndrome
   Social psychologists often point to "Survivor Syndrome" in the wake of such events. Remaining staff often feel:
   Guilt: Wondering why they kept their jobs while talented colleagues were let go.
   Anger: Resentment toward leadership for the "cowardly" or "cold" way the news was delivered.
   Distrust: A total collapse of faith in management's transparency. If they could fire 3,000 people with one click, what else are they hiding?

2. Loss of Institutional Knowledge and Morale
   Layoffs by email are often "blind"—they don't account for the social fabric of a team.
   The "Watercooler" Becomes a "War Room": Instead of focusing on the AI buildout or cloud infrastructure, the remaining staff spend hours on Slack or in private chats speculating, venting, and updating their resumes.
   Workload Paralysis: Usually, 100% of the work remains but only 80% of the people are left to do it. When that transition isn't handled with empathy, the remaining staff feel punished for "surviving."

3. Brand Erosion (Internal and External)
   Oracle is already competing for top-tier talent in the AI space. High-performers have options. When they see a company treat veterans of 10+ years like a "system error" to be deleted, they begin looking for the exit. The image created is one of operational efficiency at the cost of human dignity, which is a difficult stain to wash off in the talent market.

There were dozens of people laid off in Operations at the St. Louis hub today.

NJ WARN is 90 days but remote employees is a grey area.. But some remote employees in WA state got Jun 1 as the last day while NJ folks got only two weeks.

NJ needs 50 employees to trigger the law and all layoffs across the whole NJ state is covered and layoffs within 30 days.

Any idea how to notify the NJ DOL WARN about non-compliance ? Oracle had 900-950 employees in NJ pre layoffs.

Who wants to join me in the fight to get a 90 day notice period from Oracle ?

Seeing LinkedIn goodbyes - what groups are getting cut this week?

Maybe its a culture change. Every Sun employee who was not be retained by Oracle received a live phone call from the direct manager. "Oracle will not be offering you a job". Then you received correspondence about the separation arrangements, which, for directors and V.P.s were consistent with the "change in control" provisions. Maybe the numbers here made personal calls difficult, but feels pretty cold.

From what I can see, this was a pretty limited round, which makes me more worried. Instead of feeling like it’s over, it just feels like the start of something that’s going to continue.

How can I prove to my next employer that I was layed-off not due to my performance.

Can we say with certainty that everybody affected has been notified by now?

Anyone know if there is a severance from Oracle? I heard 6 months?

I am unsure if the layoff decisions were the same unilaterally across all orgs, but I was told that people knew yesterday afternoon and leadership had a say in it. In at least my organization they picked some high earners and some people who due to re-orgs were sort of put into bad spots.

Got the morning email and still have no information on whats next and we only get benefits til end of next week. How nice.

It’s heartbreaking. Do they even stop to think about how many lives they’ve turned upside down with this?
