Status Update on July 2024 Layoff Victims

Just curious for those that were laid off in July 2024 how your job search went or is still ongoing? I still see some people on LinkedIn who never updated their position which makes me believe many are still out of work. On one hand, I feel for your struggles, but on the other hand, I honestly think it’s a blessing to not have to deal with the turmoil.


Here We Go Again ORCL - Thanks But No Thanks - My Hard Work After 30 Years Of Excellent Service Record

Surprise Surprise Surprise today. Early morning call from manager & September 22,2025 made as my last day. YAP! came out of blue. But, no regret. Started as a rookie. Oracle got me on H1, processed my Green Card. Seen all in 30 years of service how this Company behaves & works! & where the dead bodies buried. Oh! if you are wondering what gigs I did. Started as onsite ACS Engineer when the org was just starting, moved to DB Sustaining, back to Exadata DEV / BDE / support. Last 8 years in Oracle Sustaining & DEV. Best part of the journey at Oracle - I worked from home. Time to polish my resume & take this 100 years+ experience to another great company soon!


Havelock

Havelock will be shutting down. The reason it hasn’t been done yet is because the powers that be don’t want to pay labor protection claims. So, if they slowly make cuts and claim an irreversible decline in business, their chances of having a favorable argument increases.
The writing is on the wall, see it or don’t. The people running BNSF don’t care about culture, heritage, or history. They only care about one thing… money.


How will I know?

I currently work for Juniper Networks. If I am offered a job at HPE, how will I know if they want me for the long term, if they’re just testing me to see if they want me, or if they already know they only want me for the short term and plan to make me redundant at their next round of redundancies?

And how often does HPE perform job layoffs? Is it every quarter or more frequent?


tracking layoff totals

how do you track layoff totals real-time?

the easiest proxy I found is #watercooler slack channel. it was over 40k participants at the start of the day.
it's 39662 now. so it reflects ~1% global workforce reduction in 8 hours
any better ways to track it?


Layoff possibility?

A couple of managers were let go last year on my larger team.
One manager had 2 employees that were let go about 4 months ago.
My manager had a team of 5 including myself.
One of my colleagues has now been promoted to a senior role.
The other 4 of us are at a loss on what’s next.


NetSuite Layoffs?

A great deal of NetSuite(some very tenured, some high performers) were let go in the last round a few weeks ago. Any updates on NS and this latest round today?


this style of keeping everyone on their toes waiting, especially through Labor Day weekend of all times, is really cruel

when will these never ending layoffs and re-orgs just stop. It feels extremely unnerving and unsafe, even as a high performer, to feel like you could be on the chopping block constantly over the past few years at Nike.


Is there anyway to learn if you're 'black balled' by the company?

I was laid off in 2023, and despite applying to several jobs I'm qualified at T-Mo, I'm not getting called back. I've written the HR rep (that I previously connected with while employed) and she is not responding.

Is there anyway to learn what your standing is with the company? I was there a long time, and I'm feeling shunned now...


AI will have to replace most Oracle employees

Sadly, corporations don't have souls and if you thought they did, shame on you.

I was let go this morning after 10+ years of service. My team are stunned. If it can happen to me it can happen to anyone. Consider my termination an AI casuality. Might be time for all Oracle employees to seriously consider what the end game is at Oracle with these huge AI plans.


Good Luck

No matter what happens tomorrow (September 3rd), please know that your value is not defined by your job. Be kind to yourself if you are given a severance package, and still be kind to yourself if you remain at FIS.

Rarely does anyone choose to be laid off. We work with so many talented individuals at FIS, who do the right thing for our clients and their customers every day. Good luck!


September 15th

Next surplus announcement date per contract for CWA/Leg T workers is September 15th. Of course many of us are hoping to be declared surplus to get the termination package up to 104 weeks pay for those of us with over 31 years service. We all know our job tasks are being automated and/or offshored thus we'll eventually be laid off - and we're simply hanging out happily waiting for the awesome 2 year paid vacation, hoping not to lose this in our next labor contract next year.
