So after 30 years I got the email. I had unvested RSUs that would have been worth $15K at today’s price. The thing is they were given as incentive to stay with the company so if they are not going to let you stay they should vest. Just another final... — read more 

For journos and non Oracle folks I pulled all posts and this is a summary as the essence has been spread across many threads. A bit of transparency will not hurt. A major layoff wave had already hit by the time of these posts... — read more

As per a contact in HR - this was just the initial wave. They will be making further cuts this summer to reach the 30k goal.

If I didn’t get laid off I was going to leave by end of the fiscal year. It was all I could do to stay as long as I did after the Sept layoffs. The work just piled up with hardly anyone left to do it, but if I stayed long enough to be let go, the $... — read more 

If only 10k done, do we expect another 20k. By when ? If 30k already done, those left, are the safe ?

Don't ever take the company you work for seriously, and don't ever invest yourself. No extra effort, no personal dedication, no interest in the outcomes. There's no version of the story with companies like Oracle in which any of it pays off, and you... — read more 

The truth is, Oracle was an ocean of innovation once, with mature software development that was run by adults. We believed in being a place for responsible and business oriented work/software, and to be a company that made other companies successful... — read more

Does anyone know the extent of layoffs that happened in the last few days? Was there any layoffs today also? Different people are reporting differently. I’d appreciate if anyone has analyzed this and can share their findings. Someone is maintaining... — read more 

Well.. it is what it is. But it’s heart breaking to read the comments regarding laid off O employees and that they were cut from medical insurance and work after many years with just one cold e-mail. Employee that was planning serious surgery next... — read more 

Were or will they be affected? Does anyone know something?

Who has been RIF'd this round or over the last several months? I'll go first. I was in October...anyone else? Any whispers about what's next? First they combined DS/DM roles...then they added extra layers of Sales Help and Deal Desk...so they... — read more 

Not an Oracle employee past or present, but in healthcare. Curious if the VA or health system clients were notified in advance of the layoffs and given assurances of a smooth transition. I've heard onsite staff were pulled immediately. My bet is... — read more 

By being secretive and not spooking the shareholders on the depth of the layoffs -- 18%--is Oracle management being too cute by half? By not filing WARN (over 50 employees at one location) or information under OWBPA (Older Workers Benefit Protection... — read more 

Discuss!

Especially with this many people flooding the market all at once?

Stop misusing "fired" when you mean "laid off." "Fired" implies misconduct; "laid off" implies downsizing. Use these terms accurately to protect professional reputations.

Basically the title. How much are they giving in terms of medical/dental/vision and base pay?

Select 30,000 employees with +200k annual salary = $6,000,000,000

Have the layoffs even been mentioned to those who were not affected ?

Question for those with visibility into the Oracle layoffs: Given the scale of the reductions, why does it appear that very few M5s were impacted and almost no M6s or M7s were affected? The distribution across levels seems disproportionate. Is that... — read more

Tech bosses say AI will make us work less. So far, that's mostly meant fewer of us will be working for them full-time in the long run. So be distrustful of anything you hear from leadership.

I’m just curious if there was anyone laid off while on maternity, paternity, or medical leave? Heard stories of someone who wishes they took their full leave and was RIFd anyway, but anyone truly at home with baby and got a call!

again during the night another 1k dropped on slack , maybe its late accounts disabling , about 13k + since the last week .

Say what you want, but I like that we got a heads-up about these cuts, even if it caused weeks (months) of stress. I got lucky and am still here, but if I had been affected, at least I would’ve been ready. If it had been a sudden announcement, I’m... — read more 

Yeah, right. There’s no way he didn’t know or wasn’t at least involved somehow. I can buy that he wasn’t the final decision maker, but I call bullsh-t on him not even knowing.

Well they got me yesterday. I was in the hospital January for a stroke, still recovering and one year away from retirement. The best they could muster was an email. I was the only person let go on my team and also the oldest at 66. The least they... — read more 

It does seem like, on average, older more experienced people were laid off. Anyone else notice this? Our group is half gone, and it's ALL the older folks - I'm not talking really old, just over 40.

several hours ago our VP in Fusion told it to remaining group of people from NA, IDC, EU locations that it's done and those who are on the call are safe for now. I've heard of a few such cases where folks were informed by their managers/VPs/SVPs... — read more
