Looks like some 30 people were let go this past week, including 20 in tape at Bromfield, brings the total since 6-1-2016 to 20,121. There is no good news coming your way folks, keep looking and get out.

The author of the article brought up a valid question. Does the silence on the subject means that Oracle doesn’t plan to invest in the on-premises server market anymore, and does this mean that they are gradually abandoning this market? I get that... — read more 

Not only that, but they are below their Q2 hiring targets so there is a push to hire people now. Fascinating that on one hand Oracle is laying off a lot of people and on the other hand trying to hire people for OCI.

Could be a rumor but I hear of lay-offs on the horizon, in my opinion.

Please recommend a Law Firm in San Mateo County to sue for discrimination in these layoffs.

Surprised it’s not faster.

Expect more people to be laid off.

Oracle will not help you at all in finding new positions. In fact, it is their thinking that it's the employee's fault for not doing that in the first place. Way to kick someone when they're down. Your only hope(if that's what you want to call it) is... — read more

A former colleague confirms that about 20 in Broomfield got their walking papers today.

Purple hat Purple hat Love in you

If you walk by any Amazon facilities and hear crying sound, then that must be coming from recently moved Oracle employees there.
