I'm one of at least 15 in the UK, sales and pre-sales, who had their last day today. Being the UK the severance packages are good. Best wishes to everyone.

If expecting layoff be sure to remove personal files off as they don't give much time and my friend had to give hers back in 30 minutes. Also hr is not clear on this but you have 60 days to sign for cobra and oracle picks up the first month. It is... — read more

Juts got sacked on the database pillar. Strange that Oracle does not realize that its best asset for sales on Premises AND in the cloud is the Oracle database. Only warning we had were these two posts, which were 100% accurate. @N2UeFdk @NkiQdKE

I just got a call from management. The layoffs are happening in North America Sales today. I'm being laid off after 14 years of service.

Last June 1, we would go to self service, then HCM cloud and it would tell us who our manager is and who is on our team. Checking today, looks like HCM cloud has a different layout and doesn't give you that info. Obviously Aria will not be updated... — read more

Why are we all up in arms (all of the sudden)?

Just was told by mgmt that some DB teams are being reorg into larger DB teams. Of course no details as upper mgmt has no clue what they are doing.

Is there any truth to this rumor that managers were telling people today whether they are safe or not?

Hardware SEs update - Our whole team has one-on-one meetings with our manager on June 1st. Odd thing is - we make our numbers and get nothing from PaaS or SaaS .

Received a call from a colleague who got the axe just this morning. Sales rep. Its the housecleaning of anyone who didn't perform as prescribed in Q4 who was on their watch list. It was SaaS rep.

Just out of interest , has then been any word on office closures within the smaller based offices in the US that have been acquired through various acquisitions over the years? (such as Hyperion, BEA, Siebel, Primavera). Locations such as: Stamford... — read more

Today's May 30, was wondering if anyone has seen any 1-1 meetings set up for June? Or like someone was saying, all fake news?

Option awards are out and we are valued less this year than last year. Soon will see how EVPs and above get compensated. Handsomely I presume.

If I get RIFed this week at least I'll have time to watch the America's Cup in Bermuda. Larry's spent hundreds of millions on sailing and it's great to see that investment pay off. Go Team Oracle!

Oracle makes money and profit.... There are massive profits to be made from the cloud it doesn't matter if they s--- or not. They will continue to acquire and I suspect a very big acquisition in the cards. They have the data, the hardware, the apps... — read more 

Total stay at 3,800 for the second week, despite a few layoffs including VPs in India. This is not a sign of layoffs being over, just prep for the big one starting this week. Best of luck everybody, be ready to clear out!

Don't listen to the fake news on this website, the major RIF is done. Notice that the previous post about a big RIF on Tuesday gave absolutely no specifics. It is just BS from a disgruntled former employee or the competition.

Enjoy your 3 days while it lasts. I was skeptical till last week about layoffs. Now got confirmation form a good source that reorganization is in place, but not announced. 🤞

I know many managers who got hired on h1b visas are more underpaid than the new hires under them. Isn't that wrong?

While oracle is struggling to get on track for $10 Bn cloud revenues, SFDC has publicly declared that it's past the $10 Bn goal and is setting sights on $20 Bn in annular cloud revenues. You're loser LE!

One more India VP responsible for sales... Based in South India axed. This time VP was someone who used to sell what Oracle is known for.
