Hearing rumours of a “snarkety” question that was asked…what was it?

Well I expect zero useful information at the Townhall tomorrow. Anyone else agree?

Round table w director after Q4 business update. Few months in advance so what could this mean?

This is the demonstration that an employee working for a conglomerate like this count less than nothing, it’s just a record in a database, no matter is performance, pretty sad and cold given the myriad of talented people. I hope someone at top level reads this, but Oracle is well known for being a stable company with less than average salaries. People genuinely made this trade off, if stability is not the case anymore then why staying in Oracle. I know this would count less than nothing, but a bit of transparency is somehow due to the hard work!

Bumping this up for visibility. OP: @bk+1k2xjqvcz

ER is swept under the rug for the field. The jargon makes it hard to remember that GPs, LPs and coworkers are being laid off. Some of us search it out, but most don’t see what is happening at all. MP dragged this out so that it does not seem like a big deal when it happens. Make sure you are remembered. Talk to the people in the field and tell them the sickening truth. Tell them about your fear, your anger, your exhaustion. Growth will be built upon your sacrifice, willing or not. Make sure they know. Be remembered.

Based on what people are sharing, these layoffs seem massive and widespread. Why are we being kept in the dark? The lack of communication is making an already difficult situation far more stressful and disorienting than it needs to be.

Is anyone else feeling like a certain new leadership hire in our marketing org is steering without a clear destination? There’s been a noticeable lack of transparency, empathy, and strategic vision. Morale all time low and the only remaining talent left is disconnected from the top-level decisions that affect our futures. No one will submit a complaint with the fear of retaliation and organization RIF being held over our heads. Anyone with me?

No numbers were stated. People are pulling stuff from a while ago and trying to pass it as news. Ignore the 7k rumor. Don't do that to yourself. Yes, we know cuts are coming. But that's about all we know for now. Until we know more, try not to lose too much sleep over people speculating.
