Well, no info from Oracle, of course, my guess is that we're talking about 2,500 people being laid off on 6/1. Thoughts ?

Whiteness the destruction of a once great company; brought on by clueless, personal, greed. As Hurd the Turd tears the place apart, his girl Safra tries to cozy up with D.C. Looking for her next job. See you in the unemployment line.

What kind of severance packages are being given?

Check out all the job postings right now. Considering what's going on, do you REALLY believe Oracle has that many openings? If they'll lie about and hide layoffs, there's no reason they wouldn't post fake job openings.

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?
