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

Many people get laid off in sparc hw team in Oracle Austin. This includes verif and physical design team.

Everything will be ok outside Oracle. :D

What's the probability this rumor is true? Thoughts?

Any deviations from what was paid out during the last round of cuts in November? The same? Changes? Thanks...

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.

Safra Catz is sitting on the advisory team meant to assist Trump in creating/sustaining US based jobs. Now here is Oracle laying off one day before the Trump inauguration? Something doesn't add up. Can someone confirm if these are US based RIFs or... — read more 

I am in Burlington, MA. I was not let go today but a lot of people I work with were. I was told not to go in b/c it is going to be sad. I don't have an exact number but I'm guessing more than 100 altogether (CA+Burlington) from SPARC hardware.

the actual termination is 2 months from today. this is the latest I heard from my coworker that just got axed. the catch is that if you find another job tomorrow, you can't work or you will lose the 2 months severance pay

I just got RIF in CA sparc hw. Two month notice.

Good luck tomorrow. I really hope it's nowhere as bad as many are reporting hear and elsewhere.

Oracle's whole licensing model needs to change. They need to move to a subscription with an Enterprise and Standard Cloud and Enterprise and Standard options for on-premise. No more perpetual licenses. Do everything as a subscription.

No layoff at oracle.
