i am planning to leave the company anyway, I have been thinking about something.
If layoffs hit my group, can I privately tell my manager or HR that I am willing to be included in the reduction instead of someone who actually wants and needs to stay? I am not looking to get fired or play games with performance. i would rather take the layoff myself if my departure could save someone elses job.
Has anyone actually done this at Oracle? Did they allow it and what are the risks...
The executivs do not care about employees as individuals. Everything happening right now seems focused on reducing the American workforce at every level. All the talk about culture and corp. values feels like fu--ing boxchecking designed to keep employees engaged and productive....
In the end, none of it matters when layoffs come.
Your contributions, loyalty and years of service carry little weight.
You become the proverbial number on a spreadsheet and one of the biggest numbers they care about is your salary.
I see a warn nj, 9/11 its done, 98 folks
MDC Mexico Development Center in Guadalajara was impacted today, early in the morning some teams have been impacted, notice was in zoom calls scheduled at 9am.
Sorry to heard that folks!
How did they get around excluding remote workers in CA from the 60-day notice period required under Cal-WARN?? Anyone else in this boat? Last service date of 9/17.
Anyone getting wind of this? I just heard from someone that its a possibility. Rumors spread really fast. I would think we would have a leak here but no one talking about it. Thought I would pose the question.
Takis says one thing about retaining SMEs and HR does the opposite.
This place is toxic. Signals sent from the MC should actually mean something. They don’t.
just heard some of my friends in Canada just got layed off... is there other teams that are getting hit today? primary storage EE/ development is where he works.. good thing Michel dell is the second riches person in the world today..
When somebody said this round will be just managers, directors, and VPs, I knew it sounded too good to be true. Not only was it not true, so far I haven't heard of a single manager or higher who were affected, at least in my area. And to think, this could have been a useful layoff.
Can I now assume the rest of us are safe?
RSU value in red by 45%
I heard sites are being shutdown today. Has anyone heard anything
The EEOC has actively started cracking down on companies for using staffing agencies like Cognizant to replace American workers with low cost foreign visa workers. CNC announced a billion dollar deal with Cognizant a little over a month before the massive layoffs (and Cognizant is already under investigation by dept of labor for H1b and PERM fraud).
It might be a good time to send in EEOC complaints if you lost your position right after the Cognizant contract announcement (which was in the news in July). In the past EEOC has not done much but they're pushing hard for reports/tips right now AND there's a few lawyers in their comments section trying to dig into fortune 500 company violations

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
the world is moving so fast, especially at AI? why work for a wireless company who claimed they can do a PC. Look what the FU.
Well the Fall layoff has begun!
Anyone know which groups? I assume these next few a big layoffs.
Seriously, how much longer are we supposed to wait? It’s been almost a year already. When is OpenText finally going to sell ADM?
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.
Support Engineering
One just slacked me Sunday morning letting me know about a ticket update.
Is AI at the bank actually beneficial to anyone. So far, all it does for me is make things slower than normal (looking at you, EVA). The tools we have seem so disjointed, and I’m told to start using them, but also that I have to verify the accuracy of the AI outputs, which just takes longer than actually doing the work myself. Even for simple tasks, it typically takes longer for me to get the AI to write an email for me than it does to just write an email myself. When I complained about layoffs on my team, I was told that it should be fine because we have AI now, but the AI can’t actually take on the projects my former colleagues did, and it definitely can’t work across the various systems we have to use.
Is it actually helpful in some areas? Or are we just having this garbage shoved down our throats because it’s the latest trend to force it on everyone.
Nike doesn't belong there!
5 year losing streak? And still there?
Curious if others are effected?
Did you know that 250 HCSC employees retired last year? Did you know that the number is 300 and counting this year? HR er um the "People" division knows. But they're talking about it as a trend, not another indication that the culture is in the toilet. If these were just "front line" employees but executives are heading for the exits because they can't deal with the craziness anymore.
Did you also know that beginning in January, employees in Richardson and Chicago are going to have to swipe their badges to leave the building at the end of the day? This is not a rumor. This is going to happen. It's been in the works. They wanted to do this earlier this year but came to their senses when they realized that along with making 75% of the workforce remote that would be too much.
Today is the first day of the Pulse survey. You're kidding yourself if you think it's anonymous. Even HR stopped telling that lie. They're very sensitive to negative comments and identify who says what. But you probably knew that. If not, you do now. Comment at your own risk.
One more did you know. HR is getting ready for another one of their "operations" (layoffs) in 2027. This won't be because the company isn't making money. It's going to be positioned as "eliminating redundancies." This is not a rumor either. This is going to happen.
Oracle begins a new round of layoff - see email

For those who received the ISP. Has anyone gotten the letter? I have only received the email for returning the equipment.
Be careful out there.
Now more layoffs and losses coming
Hearing more and more chatter that the return-to-office mandate could soon be moving to 4 days a week.
Also hearing that VPN activity is being tracked to see when people are connecting remotely vs being in the office — and that use of company AI tools/prompts may be logged or monitored too, so worth remembering that what you type into work systems might not necessarily be private. 👀
Then this video pops up saying tougher office mandates can sometimes be used to drive natural attrition before bigger restructuring or layoffs…
Coincidence? Maybe. But with everything else going on, the timing is interesting. 😂
slack ca-benefits channel is losing members unsure if this is a good indicator
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?
The lack of energy in the office is incredible. We aren't hiring so many but HR can't even keep up
Our stock price is heading into the toilet due to all the lost customers
There are many rounds of layoffs on the horizon as our CEO said on the town hall
Curious to know
A colleague in my group, with Shell 3-4 years, has a knack for ingratiating himself with our Team Lead and other more senior leaders. The guy’s sharp but so are a lot of others who just don’t seem to have that connecting charm.
And it works. He seems to be the fair haired child above the anxiety and worry of layoffs and being side-lined. Already been promoted in grade.
I guess whatever works but is that really what it takes to get ahead at Shell?
