There were 2 different severance overviews written for this RIF. The first one included San Diego under WARN. The revised overview did not. I wonder if Oracle reported the data differently in to exploit a loop hole in the WARN ACT ? The San Diego... — read more 

My group had some layoffs yesterday in dev

Hello, I was laid off recently in Austin. I am curious who qualifies for the WARN package, because I didn't get that deal. Just wondering why I got screwed, I am sure there is an explanation. Thanks for the attention and best of luck to you all...

So SC has claimed on quarterly analysts calls that ever & of SaaS revenue pull with it an additional $8 of other service revenue. Is that true and if so what is that service revenue. Surely not oracle consulting which is tiny so what else could this... — read more 

In one hand oracle removed so many qualified guys, other hand it is recruiting new guys. Oracle should have relocated old guys to new postition first and train them. This is huge discrimination. Old guys have been inflicted with knife. U post mass... — read more 

Check out Theregister.co.uk. : Oracle LIED Thank you !

I have to say it really hurts to see, while the US "Alternative News" weekend is still fresh in our minds, Oracle's strong assertions that Solaris 11.next will be just like Solaris 12, actually. "Stop paying attention to absurd rumors! Its... — read more

I'm the biz reporter for Broomfield/Boulder County and have received two tips from friends of those laid off. To be able to report this, I need to speak with someone that worked there as the company is not responding and there is no WARN notice... — read more 

Seems more than a little obscene that each of MH and SC would be making $40m in base and an additional $15m each in bonus when people are being let go. What happened to solidarity and CEOs working for $1 in hard times ? Reduce their pay to $400k base... — read more 

two months to find a job? not so sure sadly... JF system org under LE has decreased by 323 people. every single org except disk dev has decreased will monitor more

Based on the feedback (and lack thereof from oracle) I declare the unofficial offices layoff tally at 1,800. FYI I raised Burlington, MA to 300. They details are in the prior post Layoff tally - 1,700?

Sparc CPU team: 30% (~600 headcount) were let go Sparc System team: 42% (50% in CA, 34% in MA, ~120 headcount) were let go Sparc SW/FW team: ~40% were let go. Rest of the team is more for sustaining, not much development going on. Plus, attrition is... — read more

Right as Oracle lays off large numbers of staff, their social media team is posting that they are looking for folks to blog about cloud. "Looking for bloggers to write about DevOps, Containers and Cloud. Can offer Fame but not fortune. Contact me at... — read more 

By project? I have only a year in and think the next round I can get hit. In CA.

If you were riffed please consider contacting mkendall@bayareanewsgroup.com or call the San Jose Mercury News, full anonymity. Important to get the story out

Not sure how many people care about this, but I'm gonna share it anyway, just in case some folks may need it: the 60-day grace period is automatic, you don't need to apply for it or anything. the grace period starts the day after termination of... — read more 

it is 2:00 pm today Friday January 20 2017, oracle stock is up to 39.81, one day after layoffs happened. Where is the moral here ?

Time to put LE MH SC on trial for killing American jobs and shipping them abroad

Here's a question (admitidly tongue in cheek): why does oracle never make the Best Companies to work for list? Any thoughts?

RIP SUN

Call me paranoid, but the timing of this massive layoff (sure, it is going to happen anyway) is just too perfect for Trump inauguration. So before Friday, whatever sh*t goes on is still Obama era. After Friday, Oracle is definitely going to take on a... — read more

Lots of movements of bits and pieces to other areas (mostly Linux and LDoms) and lots of people are let go.

OK. So I got RIFed like many people today. Unfortunately I'm not based in a large site where over 50 people are let go, so there is no 60 day notice for me. According to the new H1B policy there is a 60-day grace period during which time the visa... — read more

Everything will be ok outside Oracle. :D

I was RIFed, System group, Santa Clara CA. Major layoff. I was in Support. So if you expect support for Sun products it is highly unlikely you will get any. The Oracle Monkey is off my back.
