If you're still there, I'd start looking around now. Even if the job search goes nowhere at first, you'll be glad you didn't wait until you were desperate. And we all know more layoffs are inevitable.

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?

A lot of experienced employees were pushed out, and now the company is relying on people who don't know the customers or the business nearly as well. How long is it going to take them to realize that saving money on payroll always results in the quality of the work suffering?

"Oracle's severance package appears less generous than those offered by its Big Tech peers."

Even the media is picking up on this.

I thought that's one of the main reasons for cuts: show investors that you're cutting costs, insuring more profit in the future. So what went wrong? Are layoffs suddenly no longer the magic move that fixes everything for those on top?

Is it happening?

I left without another job lined up, and I don't regret it. Having no paycheck for a while feels less frightening than going back to that place, having to deal with an abusive manager who thinks screaming at the top of his lungs is a valid management style. Luckily, I have enough savings to be able to afford this, but I feel for my former teammates who are stuck with that monster. And before anybody mentions HR, they're completely useless.

I'm hearing too many rumors about it to just ignore it.

Layoffs are going to come in waves. First a general headcount reduction and a focus on simplifying systems and documentation as we go, then more and more layoffs as they bring on more and more Indians to hopefully maintain what shell is left hoping the company doesn't go under.

And of course by the time Kroger realizes their mistake and the future of work is going towards AI with competent leadership both in the business and in tech guiding it, not hordes of offshore Indians who couldn't manage a childrens soccer tournament, it will already be too late.

Bumping from an older thread for info. The OP is @bj+1ky4x9xft.

Any idea what exactly F5 means when it calls itself "Human first approach". This must be "Leadership first approach". The layoffs happened just to shift the investments to AI, basically they can direct good employees who are laid off to the AI work with minimal training.

CDW acquire Lovelytics for $525M. Messaging from leadership “Layoffs are a result of cost cutting measures. We are extremely sorry.” Many talented individuals are given walking papers, some had been with CDW for 10, 20 and 30 years. These individuals are what made CDW, they made it better, they created the culture that made everyone better. It’s all gone :-(

First, my thoughts for everyone impacted. Very hard to lose so many brilliant teammates.

Everyone is saying this company is a sinking ship but is it really worse than searching for a job in this competative market?

Trying to understand which business unit is safer vs not at Oracle? I hear Retail business unit is almost immune this year

It started with 5 AM emails. No manager notification. Several people ranging from Ic2 to M5 gone. Time will tell how many by end of the day.

Capital Management continues to struggle abysmally this year. Poor stock selection. Poor positioning. Peer rankings according to Morningstar. The higher the number, the worse the peer to peer performance. Many MoA funds continue to be bottom feeders

Time to stop protecting Capital Management. Time to end quarterly bonuses for them. Time to layoff some people.

Any H-1b's ? There are some openings in Nashville inside Oracle. Check If your manager can help you to re-hire . Remember your manager has to sign-off and send an exception email.

I think it’s 5500 people so far

Assuming India tomorrow will take the count to at least 8000

any info when riffs come to EMEA?

This round of layoffs is only for managers, directors, and VPs, not ICs. Have you heard of any ICs getting laid off too?

Can one volunteer for upcoming layoffs?

Recognize that better days are ahead and you'll eventually be happier and more productive than you've been before. It took me 6 months of looking half-time. But, my new situation is better in every respect. I wouldn't have made it to this better place, if they hadn't kick me out.

Any word on Wellmed Texas layoffs? I believe everyone was safe the rest of this year but not sure any more

The Executives continue to underperform and the middle managers get the bullet. They are firing the subject matter experts with legacy knowledge. Meanwhile, new VPs are brought in and are creating chaos. Where is this going? How is this company going to continue to function? Also, who is going to train the entry level staff? Someone needs to turn this around before it's too late. Can we take a vote on replacing Mark K?

I’ve seen multiple posts about layoffs in different departments, I wish there was a way to know how many there have been. Now that we’re coming up into the fall I find myself wondering yet again if there will be an early retirement offer I think I would’ve said there was a good chance earlier in the year, but I don’t think there really is a good chance anymore. It seems like management has become very micromanaging. Yes, I understand that there are probably departments and employees and teams that needed better oversight. I’m not complaining about oversight. I’m questioning the kind of oversight for example, the utilization review department is required to do 12 reviews a day there isn’t enough work for us to do 12 reviews a day. Yes, there are some nurses who do get that kind of work based on different facilities that they have access to, but the large majority of nurses do not get that work and I would venture to say the average reviews are probably closer to seven or eight a day. We have no control over that. I know team leaders say we should be asking for Work if we need it but you can’t pull Work out of a hat and now it seems that people are getting reprimanded for lack of a better word for not asking constantly for additional work, they’re getting talked to for only having seven reviews and many teams are telling people that they should have around nine reviews. Maybe I’m blind. Maybe there’s some other utilization review nurses on here that can shed some light on that, but it sure doesn’t seem like there’s enough work for that at least they’re certainly isn’t on my team or on several other teams that have brought up that I’ve spoken with my point is I’m certain there’s going to be a layoff there would have to be we have likely 150 to 250 too many nurses. I seriously doubt since we’re losing 600K members were going to miraculously come up with those 600 K plus an additional tens of thousands more to create enough work come January. So I guess the question is is there going to be a layoff or will they offer early retirement? I realize this is a long post. It’s just something that weighs heavily on every nurse I know. And after the employee survey came out today, multiple nurses have been saying about how discouraged they are so it’s brought it up again. Any inside encouragement anything would be greatly appreciated. I am just going to apologize right now for any type of graphical errors in this. I know it’s a long post and I’m just simply exhausted and discouraged after this day of yet another group of confusing, emails and policies and procedures and changes and taking back the changes and making more changes and taking them back again, utilization a few management simply just does not want to know what they want, and don’t want to proofread it.
