My bonus posted today. $925 after taxes. What a joke. That's less than 20% than others on my remaining team. It also is half of my Q3 hold back. They really screw you after being laid off

Rumor has it that older white people were the only group targeted in the last layoff this summer. White women over 40 were the largest group let go reassigned based on head count. In other words white women over 40 were not the largest group let go... — read more

This company-wide all hands meeting on Thursday, what else could it possibly mean? No one remembers anything like it before. They wouldn't do something so big just for SC leaving. My bet is: Larry needs to escape with his ego intact. Oracle lost the... — read more 

Oracle long ago shifted to playing defense because they could. They have a large flow of support dollars flowing in every year, so they are looking to just protect that. They wait until a new market is proven and then use their stacks of cash to go... — read more 

MH just sold 350,000 shares for a cool $17.4 M, he's not holding on to that hot potato, leave that up to dummy LE

No major layoffs this past week. Total still at 4,000 for FY18, so since 6/1/2017, and a total of 14,000 since 6/1/2016. Don't get your hopes up boys and girls, much more to come, this is just the beginning of oracle layoffs.

If laid off in the USA, does that person get a package if hourly ?

The share price jump certainly contributed to this. 3M and Oracle are now at the top. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/05/iq-100-reblance-.html

I think that Oracle is right to restructure and to layoff those who are not cloud savvy. I think the right place to do it is at the executive level. On the business side MH, SC, RG should be let go and the tech side TK and HD should be replaced by... — read more

Some of the managers we know didn't want to stay. Sadly they are not fit and need help with people skills. So the moral of the story is stay or learn. Universally it's the same as they stay. Currently there is a brain drain of smart leaders. Kind of... — read more
