Total target is 10% of global headcount. This is being done in 3 phases...Around 5000 in first phase globally , Second Phase in June. and Third one in September. Found this info on another thread, @YcAPXFu-ulz . Can someone confirm this?

What are the obvious signs that the Oracle HR is calling you for layoff ? Do they directly call you while you are working? Or ask you manager to do the job ? Do they allow any backup ?

Will there be rifs in emea in the coming months?

The cuts to OCI-C, HW, and some other orgs that were being de-prioritized made sense. Within OCI I'm wondering if any positions were let go because Oracle needs more US citizens

Is anybody laid off in Oracle Commerce, IDC or Cambridge or Belfast ?

How many people are laid off in Oracle IDC Hyderabad?

is the final severance pay out also taxable?

It’s not a huge number considering the size of company. It seems like total number stands @ 500. US:100; India:200; China:50 Others: 150

To whom have been axed, Oracle is our memory. To whom have not been axed, either make yourself visible for your M6+ at right time, or move on.

So, What now? I doubt they will stop at this number of layoffs. Any whey to figure out who will they be going after next?

Layoff were handled poorly. You have to remember this Oracle, where you still have to use beehive for mail and calendar. Because Larry is a tool, you have to use all Oracle c-ap, never best of breed. This leads to a bigger divide between market and... — read more

We all knew layoffs were coming and the leadership didn’t put too much effort into hiding this, so I can’t say I’m surprised, but what I am surprised about is the way they were doing and what employees were targeted. From what I see, among the folks... — read more

Do they fast forward stock vesting in layoff?

Got laid off today with 60 day pay and time to look for another job either internally within company again or externally. Oracle cloud business is going down!
