Honestly, Oracle’s layoffs weren't even that deep, but they’re definitely still ghosting some projects. Now they’re in this weird spot where they need bodies in Nashville, but they're being cheap and won't shell out $100k for new people, so they’re... — read more

If you are expecting RSUs in the next 6 months, consider suing before your last day
The chance of winning is 90%, and you can find a lawyer who will take the case for 10–25% of the RSUs. It is well established that laying off employees before RSUs vesting in 6 months is illegal, not to mention immoral.
Don't cry here, if you want something petition your Representative or Senator
Why are you crying about this and that.

Not looking forward to what's coming

Don't take on any extra work
Leadership is counting on you being scared enough about your job that you’ll take on the work of those who were just laid off. Don’t do it. Don’t play their game. Say you’re busy, which, let’s be honest, most of us already are. Let them see what... — read more
