It’s happened in Australia (Sydney). HR scheduled meetings exactly 5 weeks before the end of Oracle Q2 (Oracle’s notice period is 5 weeks) on Tuesday of this week. Sales reps, managers, and SCs.

I recall a list of tech companies in the bay area that may be actively hiring now. Do you have as well a list of head hunters too?

New leadership has come in and today they have shaken everything up. People are getting new roles and new managers. Moving to a more specialized model to better compete with Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. If you are a database guy, you are in the... — read more

Hi all – looking to talk with some people who were impacted by layoffs (or those who know more specific numbers/departments). Can reach out to me at alandis at newsy dot com or on Twitter at @_AustinLandis. Thank you!

I realize this is a naive question for an anonymous forum, but couldn't we all be a bit more kind and respectful on this forum? I've been reading through the posts today to understand what's happening, and I've been shocked with how mean... — read more 

Layoffs in Australia are coming, meetings are being scheduled with HR right now. This comes despite being advised of Oracle's global policy of zero redundancies during global times of crisis. This clearly was a lie and once again shareholders are... — read more 

OracleDumpsterFire.gif https://gfycat.com/blackandwhitesmugdragon Too freaking funny. Share w/ your buddies in tech. I get the warm fuzzies knowing that Oracle employees have figured out how to remain productive in these trying times.

It took me about 1 year to get out of O, but I got out. After 6 years at O, working for my hero, Larry Ellison, I felt so dirty. Everything was such a scam, lying and cheating and audits. I would never do this to any of my customers, but everyone... — read more 

Everyone keeps saying the biggest Oracle layoffs of all time are coming in August, how bad is it? any particular LOBs or countries affected?

I am in NZ and was told myself and a handful of Kiwis have one more week left. I worked for PDIT before shifted into OIT and now let go after a long time. I had a mission critical project and worked extra time to get it done just few days ago. Very... — read more

Yesterday, my friends working at the Oracle China Support Center heard that they were laid off. I haven't seen the official announcement yet, but what's happening with Oracle?

Having to watch the company that was once at the very top continue to slide towards the very bottom - mostly due to bad decisions made by the current leadership - is giving me no satisfaction. I used to be proud to say I work for Oracle. Now I barely... — read more

Out of all the people I know, not a single H1B worker was RIFF'd, but instead the majority are very long time (>20 years) employees many of which are key, critical knowledge resources. These layoff moves underscore the dire dearth of Oracle's... — read more 

I called HR to ask about my term letter. First question I was asked was, "how old are you?". What???? How old I am? Why, how, and when would that matter? Am I missing something legitimate?

I understand no job is perfect, but working at Oracle is taking my stress levels to the extreme. And judging by the many posts here I’m far from the only one. When did this place turn from a normal working environment with occasional layoffs into... — read more
