get ready guys, they usually start in MDC then go to others

Same pattern, just email, no 1:1.. What the fcuk is this pattern.. when will next wave happens

I'm interviewing now and may get an offer soon. If I do, can I volunteer to be laid off to get a package?

Veteran. High performer. Unique skillset. None of it matters. It's about the money. Skill and experience cost more, so they'll keep the slacker and cut the person who actually knows what they're doing. Meaning all that hard work you put in? That was... — read more 

It's amazing how many high performers suddenly become "low performers" when it's time for cuts. Every single time.

Do we have a ballpark figure?

Has anybody heard of how NetSuite might be affected by all of this?

Layoffs are bad, but the weeks and in some cases months leading up to them are pure chaos. It's the time when stabbing coworkers in the back is almost the norm, as if that'd help save somebody. Few people are actually working and most are speculating... — read more 

What is the cut off date for this quater layoff? Everyone saying by March 31... Will it will start on Tuesdays only.. if yes it would be good that, if layoffs won't happen this Tuesday,we can relax till next Tuesday...

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs. mar01-mar23: 573 layoffs, and 715 additions (based on Slack regular tracking) feb01-feb28: 943 layoffs, and... — read more 

I just want to move on.

A change freeze is starting on the 24th. No clear reason why in the email. ‘Indefinite customer-specific change freeze, focusing on High Touch (HT) customers first, and expanding to others in the coming days/weeks’ Good luck 🫡

a lot are experiencing issues connecting to slack and emails ( not everyone ) , maybe they are testing the ki-l switch when layoffs starts , weird it didnt affect everyone

Please mention the product/team, country, no.of ic, m ppl affected etc this gives an idea where the cuts are happening where to expect next. Please avoid all other noises.

Leadership doesn't care about the software/database customer. As a result, anyone and everyone is just a number. Leadership is also aware that it is not as easy as a flick of a switch from Oracle DB/software to something else, particularly the... — read more 

You would be smart to quit your Oracle job in California and move to find a job in either St Louis Missouri, Detroit Michigan or Cook County Illinois which is Chicago. Gas in all three cities is cheaper but you’re going to have to dodge all the... — read more 

Most of us will not be with Oracle after the week. I dont know where I will go or what i will do but all i know is i need some time off. I have been working 15 years straight out of college. These last 3 years at Oracle have been the worst of my... — read more 

Or will my manager call me on my cellphone? Or will he wait until I come back?

Lot of management being moved to other products instead of laying them off. Wish they did the same to ICs who have real skills.

It’s starting

I'd be doing myself a huge favor.

Will see how it goes this week

managers with under 20 person reporting to them , should just merge with other teams .

New innovative product from Oracle: LaaS: Layoffs-as-a-Service :)))

Looking at our current structure, it feels like the 'manager-to-grass root level employee' ratio has drifted toward an unsustainable level of middle management. multiple layers of management, which creates a 'bottleneck of consensus' rather than a... — read more 

How are you mentally preparing for it ?

You have better bargain power for salary with your next employer if you apply outside now while you are in the current job. Not after getting layed off.

For the US RIFs happened over email last week, did they give garden leave ?

Is it true, then list is finalized.. layoffs may start from Tuesday

I know many are tempted to quit with cuts and uncertainty but unless you have something lined up, don't. Even a horrible job that pays the bills is better than unemployment at a time when job market is among the worst it's ever been. Don't make the... — read more 

Started layoffs on 3/17 in US and slowly going through each org and countries. Trying to keep it silent as much as possible by only targeting one or two org per week. But yea the ultimate target to achieve will be around 30k as roumered by end of... — read more 

It's Saturday and all I can think about is layoffs. And it's been like this for months. I hate Oracle for this. I used to be able to enjoy life. A job shouldn't take that away from me, but here we are.

I was laid off and stupid enough to come back to just go through a reorganization 6 years later and realized I was going to be let go again. I was smart enough the second time to get out before it happened. It doesn't matter what group you work for... — read more 

These next two weeks will be rough, get ready guys. Some orgs in OHAI will get 30%

Sad, but expected. Sorry don't want to say more. 5 out of 12.

For people spreading fear and information always remember Karma will get back to you. There is a lot at stake for a lot of people out here. So can we please for once share any reliable information if anyone has any?

Same as Title

Everything is slow.

I stopped caring about this job a long time ago. At this point, the only thing I want from them is a severance check. This company isn't worth my stress, my sleep, or my health. They don't get to take that from me too.
