Anyone have a clue, as I'm in the valley and want to prepare.

Apparently no one is safe in SaaS ERP. The cuts here will be deep and effect many LOB. The promises from FY17 did not come to fruition. Many thought there would be an upswing in Q1 but to no avail. If you are in SaaS ERP in any function it will be... — read more 

I dont have info on this. Just my hunch. Thoughts? Opinions? Please chime in.

An SVP in the sales org got a heads up from a buddy in HR that his name was on the list. He gave me the heads up too, he's got nothing to lose. Layoffs coming shortly after open world. If Oracle was laying off before the stock price tanked and the... — read more

LE you screwed the pooch, the only thing left is to sell oracle to Dell or private equity, these amateurish efforts by SC and MH are a total flop. Sell and be done!

I also just got informal confirmation of an October ECA reorg. Apparently this is all because of the upcoming departure of HD to SFDC or MSFT. RG then feels he can clean house and have one of his IBM or HP yes-men run this group. It means lots of... — read more

Oracle Cloud Revenue = Free Cloud credits to On-premise DB/App customers, which is called organic growth to cloud.

Rumours are true. Just learnt from a Dir that there is a change coming and possible layoffs !

The sales team was given slide deck and the same old Nimbula console demo. Looks like BMC is dead on arrival.

Recently I've read that the next Solaris was pushed for the next year, but the way things are going currently, the only things that are happening are cuts in both development and maintenance teams and resources. Anybody else thinks that Oracle will... — read more 

The ES layoff audio from 9.1.2017 to be posted in the next seven days for download and all's listening enjoyment. Standby.

My manager said Larry has told ES to eliminate most if not all remaining Sun engineering. A direct order from LE, good luck to you all. The goal is to rid Oracle of most of its direct hardware sales and focus on cloud. Services is next, Oracle plans... — read more 

Does anyone know about Cloud Architects/SE layoffs after oow ? My manager says a re-org being planned

No more SPARC systems showcase in OOW. More Solaris/SPARC RIFs after OOW as everything goes sustaining.

Merger/acquisition with Accenture? The purchase of AMD? What was supposed to fill the other 90 minutes of LE's awkward "cloud announcement"?

The market is getting wise to Oracle. Analysts expected additional acquisitions and investment in infrastructure with strong cloud growth expectations from the September 14th earnings call. Instead they got "organic growth" and a "machine learning... — read more

Internal rumors now saying ZFSSA is going the way of the FS1. Will Larry's self-driving cloud save us?

Looks liked the reorg for the ECAs under HD is lined up for execution. Consolidation of the different management chains for ECAs and removal of redundant management is in play. As far as the ECAs, if you have not been flagged as being ECAL compliant... — read more 

I cannot believe how many different engineering and non engineering jobs there are out in major areas. I'd say if you're wanting and able too, leave Oracle I was loyal until E Screwjob S gave the Oracle look to your right and cough as we castrate... — read more 

I sent my paper work in last week, how long before Oracle pays out the final severance pay out? Thanks any help is greatly appreciated.

Is LE getting collateral calls from his lenders now that oracle stock is tanking. Getting desperate LE? Sure looks like it!

So just got told to accept a new comp plan where the target allocation changed downward by 20%. Not that I should complain...but wth?

From the article: Therefore, if you believe that Oracle's cloud services will keep growing and its margins will keep expanding, it could be a great time to start a new position in this evolving tech giant... — read more

I tried to put a positive post on Oracle for the last two weeks and it is removed...Hummmm

New SPARC T8 and M8 systems announced by Mr Screven today. SPARC is far from dead. https://www.oracle.com/servers/sparc/index.html

Hi all, As the new company is currently working on transferring H-1B for me and they need last 2 paystubs, I am posting for wondering if someone here might know how to get that when being under WARN. Any contact information regarding this matter... — read more 

There were bizarre statements in the earnings call and major red flags in the financial statements. Their announcement that executives were now going to be compensated primarily on cloud revenue is very strange, considering that SC and MH already... — read more

No change this past week, total for FY18 remains 7,000; total since 6/1/2016 remains 17,000. With analysts call over and downward guidance expect more layoffs as per the other threads. Please report here as they happen. Good luck all!

Just when you thought you were safe, there are more cuts being planned for ES's org for early next year. Target groups include a significant hit for the linux groups and the rest of zfssa. It's not clear whether the pillar org will get a trim.

Which means the street isn't buying into our story of growth and no-touch databases. Probably means Papa Mark and Mama Safra are going to take some of us out to the back shed and tan our hides with a good RIFfin'!

I think in the majority of cases no one could reasonably expect that their manager is going to give them any heads up. In the vast majority of cases the manager is not going to want to deal with that. They will want it short and sweet at the end and... — read more
