Being laid off is much preferable to what I went through last year. I was sabotaged, lied to, harassed, manipulated, etc, until I finally quit in disgust. It was intensely stressful. I had gotten 4s and 5s out of 5 on my reviews, had gotten really... — read more

Oracle is not, nor has ever been, known for being a warm & fuzzy work enviro. It's a well known meat grinder. At least in sales it is. Everyone knows this is what the oracle brand is about. You produce or you're out. Plain & simple. Most, if not all... — read more 

More layoffs taking place today. Happening now. Got a call form someone who just got the call they are toast. Its Customer Success (aka Customer Service) and theirs is a re-org/re-alignment.

SC is a Trump enabler - shame on her!

So absent announcement from oracle it looks like the layoffs were as follows: (1) Q1&2: 5,000 people, (2) Q3&4: 3,800 people, (3) June 1: 2,500 people. This bring the total for the year to almost 12,000

Unhappy people should be proactive and leave at the earliest opportunity, and not stay and whine before their doomsday at Oracle arrives.

Hum...We think we have a bunch of trolls from SalesForce slumming around. Head count increased by about 700... fake rumors people....

I know this might seem like a stupid question. But, I have always wondered about the people are selected for the layoff. I have been here for 15 years. I went through this before. How are the SCs and Business Development employees selected? Is it... — read more

sorry to those who got affected this week but just wanted to point out that the prediction of 10-20K was WAAAAYYYY off base and overblown and led to unnecessary ulcers and anxiety for a lot of people over the last few months. WTF YO?

Not a single peep. what's up with that? is the layoffs fake news?

Any job cuts over there at Oracle Digital (OD)? It seems like they were spared.

The difference in behaviors between someone wjo has morals and ethics and someone else who doesn't - she continues to hand on to Trump like crazy glue.

LE designed it exactly like this!..nobody give a damn to nothing but a paycheck.. no sense of pride left..wait to see CEOs jump ship soon enough..

Curious as to what others are hearing? Several rumors about allowing OD reps to work from home as well as given the option to move to another hub to job loss.

Anyone have a good contact in media? That's the way to shame them. Trump watches Fox News
