We are waiting for today to see the cut down in OMC @HQ. Update thr thread if there is any news on the count. Waiting for IDC day for OMC announcement

Working in OCI-Classiv. My Team is spanning throughout the globe. A total of 32 engineers, spanning all over the globe US-MX-EU-IDC US and MX got the AXE today. Waiting for our turn

Layoffs or not, what drives me nuts is a nonchalant way how the execs and corp comm team are going about this. There was an organization wide email sent to tell us how rosy things were and how we are knocking it out of park in the marketplace... — read more

Does it mean if I don't have a one on one scheduled I'm safe? Or do they send invites to meetings throughout the day? I'm sorry if these seem like stupid questions to some of you, but I'm relatively new here and I don't know how Oracles handles... — read more

Thank you for your contribution to EPS and the 3 Stooges ‘ bonus plan. Signed- 3 very greedy, selfish swine

Do we have any ideas how bad today will be? Putting together all the posts so far that had any info or speculation on what's getting hit tomorrow and how many will be laid off, it looks like we are not talking just about hundreds of employees... — read more 

I know they don’t need a lot of reasons to perform layoffs, but why did they chose this time to perform them? Wasn’t it more logical if they performed them earlier, aront the beginning of the year or in autumn? What’s the logic behind this timing?

What happens with your exercisable stock options after a Layoff?

Hi, does health insurance terminate the same day as the laid off day? And if you do get Cobra, does it get retroactive back to the day when your health benefit ends? Thanks.

Will there be more layoffs today? If yes, any idea on what will be hit?
