My boss is all in on using H1Bs, even with citizens and green card holders on the team who have the same skills. He’s literally taking work from U.S. employees and putting an H1B's name on it. The H1Bs aren't even doing the real work; they're just... — read more
Beware of Big Oracle Scam
It's all scam. Safra opened her mouth fee months back and misguided investors with fake numbers. But in parallel she sold her personal oracle stocks totalled 2.5 Billions. Yes, billions not millions.. It's just 20% of her total holdings..Although... — read more

Layoffs US and Canada
Will there be more layoffs in the US and Canada before the end of the year?
Not looking forward to the weekend
This place has su-ked all the joy out of my life. All I do is worry. I’m lucky, I’m in my late 20s and don’t have a family. I feel for my teammates who have to go home and put on a happy face for their spouses and children. I don’t think I could... — read more
Team and position
Do we have an idea of the teams most likely to be affected (OCI / OCC / support / ...) and the type of position (sales / pre-sales / support / ...) to anticipate the EEA layoffs?
Linkedin peans
It’s really ridiculous reading these bragging about Q1 financial success and people excited below in the comments with peans. This results cost hundreds suddenly laid off employees, not raises, not focal for every singular worker. That’s exactly the... — read more

How was this week so far?
Did your managers already start assigning work from your laid off coworkers to you? Mine tried, but I said I was so swamped there was no way to fit it in. So, so incredibly busy. Which, honestly, isn’t even a lie. I plan on staying “too busy” for it... — read more
Safra is a scam, admit it!
https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2025/09/10/oracle-stock-up-94-on-growth-forecast-learn-whether-to-buy-orcl/ Unrealistic results! The only one buying is OpenAI.
Safra at the White House
Everything really clicked for me this week watching Safra and other tech CEOs line up at the White House dinner, kissing the DJT ring. They’re thanking him profusely for flipping the script. The era of employees holding the power? Over. When’s the... — read more
Market Cheers While Jobs Disappear
The real story isn’t that Wall Street doubts Oracle — it’s that they’re buying every bit of the spin. The market’s reaction after the earnings call just hands leadership a license for more cuts. To be fair, none of us should be shocked. Everyone who... — read more

Hey guys, if you've been laid off can you comment region/job title/team if possible? And if in OCI that would be helpful thank you!

Some lose their livelihoods for others to make billions
How's this okay? Why is it so accepted that employees are disposable, like we're automatons and not actual people with families and feelings? I know many will say "it's just business," but how does that make it better? I'm just so tired of this sh-t... — read more
10Q is in and only a third of layoffs complete

My layoff experience
Here’s how it all went down. I was on vacation at the beach, sipping a piña colada, when my manager sent me a text message saying it was an emergency and that I needed to get back to her immediately. I couldn't believe it. Was I really that... — read more

Stock take & conspiracy theory
Oracle stock blasting off makes no sense. Yeah, the $455B RPO number is huge, but at the end of the day those are just cloud contracts. You know the cost of servers, you know the markup — margins are fixed. A bump was fair once the number went... — read more
LE made $110,000,000,000 this morning
Larry made $110,000,000,000 just this morning. The stock is absolutely going crazy right now. Amazing that after causing so much damage to people’s lives and families that this is the reward. The concept of karma doesn’t exist, being a ba----d and... — read more
SUNW is the ORCL ca$h cow
SUNW has contributed $40b net profit since the merger. This is actual revenue and not pie in the sky "booked revenue". SUNW hardware is the ORCL ca$h cow which pays your bonus, RSUs, and pay raises. Explains the stock price rise.
Who is next in EU?
Despite Oracle's strong Q1 performance and a 30% increase in share price, the company has announced a planned restructuring across its EEA operations, proposing a reduction of up to 2,000 roles across multiple lines of business. This initiative aims... — read more
Why are we hiring?
I’m not even talking about offshoring. There are plenty of openings right here in the US. Why is the company hiring people if we’re supposedly in such a terrible position that we need to lay off a large chunk of the workforce worldwide?
EMEA layoffs
Is the company negotiating with the EWC (European Workers Council)? How are negotiations going? When will the local councils tell us something?
who cares about people if stock + 28%
The stock + 28% pre-market is based on backlog news - Safra said about $455B - 4 multi-billion contracts - so stock-market is buying this, and LE + $70B. Then this backlog is more important than Reve/EPS which was not delivered. Maybe this aligned... — read more
Layoffs aren’t strategy, they’re a symptom of failure
When a company keeps leaning on layoffs to fix problems, it’s a giant red flag. It doesn’t matter what excuse the leadership gives, be it cost cutting, restructuring, or aligning priorities. It all points to leadership that doesn’t know how to manage... — read more
Researching if you received shares/stock options this last FY25?

We’re going to fall so hard once the AI bubble bursts
