Were or will they be affected? Does anyone know something?
NA Deal Desk/DM/Contract Specialists/Whatever the name is now...
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
Wonder if the VA or health system clients were told in advance
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
Wonder if any WARN notices were sent to US Federal and State DOLs, as required by law
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
How are we even supposed to find a job in this market right now?
Especially with this many people flooding the market all at once?
Fired vs Layoff
Stop misusing "fired" when you mean "laid off." "Fired" implies misconduct; "laid off" implies downsizing. Use these terms accurately to protect professional reputations.
Can someone spill the beans on the severance package (including benefits)
Basically the title. How much are they giving in terms of medical/dental/vision and base pay?
How the total 30,000 headcount was calculated.
Select 30,000 employees with +200k annual salary = $6,000,000,000
Layoffs not mentioned at all
Have the layoffs even been mentioned to those who were not affected ?
M6 and 7's Not Impacted. How?
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

Distrustful of what tech bosses say
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.
Anyone on Maternity or Medical Laid Off?
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!
Down again about 1k since yesterday
again during the night another 1k dropped on slack , maybe its late accounts disabling , about 13k + since the last week .
Miserable Severance Payoff
"A payment in the amount of four weeks of base salary for your first year of employment plus one week’s salary for each additional year of employment, based on your most recent hire date, up to a combined maximum of 26 weeks of base salary." I have... — read more
I prefer it this way
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
My manager seemed shocked that I was laid off
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.
One Year Away From Retirement
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
Age discrimination?
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.
Just in case you're still unsure it's over
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
Slack glitches the day before Layoff
I noticed my slack errored out 2 or 3 times and gave a glitchy alphanumeric coded white screen the day before the axe came down. I wondered if the system was doing a dry run and if anyone else noticed the same thing? First time it ever did that and... — read more

Why all of the callous comments?

California in-office worker and WARN not given

The world's richest people can be replaced by much cheaper AI
That's the truth.
why newspapers like the new york post are saying it was 30k layoff
i though its about 12.5k since last week , but new york post is reporting 30k
I hope all the management that laid people off all these years finally get laidoff
I hope all the management that laid people off all these years finally get laidoff Specially my old worthless boss that just took up space.
491 Oracle Sheep got the axe in Seattle today
That's a lot of sheep for a first round lay-off with more to come

Should be 50k pluss
After 20+ years at Oracle, no one is exempt from cuts. Realistically, they’re doing many a favor. The company is bloated at 160K employees—I’ve long said it could shed 50K with zero impact. Next should be VPs, directors, accountants, and especially... — read more
