This may sound insensitive, but hear me out... With so many folks worried if they will have a job once the RIF kicks in high gear, are sellers finding it increasingly difficult to get Q4 deals closed? Supporting teams are just not as focused. ... — read more
Austin Office
Will the Austin office be affected by the layoffs?
I feel little awkward
The atmosphere at Oracle right now is honestly exhausting. It feels like everyone’s on edge all the time—you can’t even go grab coffee or step into the bathroom without overhearing someone talking about layoffs. It’s nonstop. I kind of regret... — read more
What documents should I be backing up before the layoff?
So far I did a recent paystub, W2 and my performance review from FY25. Was debating sending my entire teams code too so I can reference it in the future.
I told my mgr I was close to retiring
No set date, but sometime in the next 6 months. The strategy bet is that if they think I’m leaving in the near future, they’ll be less likey to rif me now. The straws have been grasped at!
I'm doing F**K ALL until Q1
Until this layoff situation is clearer, I'm doing nothing. That's AI productivity for you
Cool that we're being told nothing
I mean, it doesn’t make sense even from a leadership’s purely selfish perspective. Surely productivity has been suffering with all of us on edge all the time and completely demoralized?
Minimum $700m / 12,000 to go in Q4
#general will be below 155,000 by 31st May There was $700m left in the restructuring fund at the end of Q3 and it wasn't enough, so they added $500m more. All you can be sure is it will happen in the next 9 weeks. I'm coming on like a... — read more
If it's March 31, how many can be fired in a single day
Maybe tomorrow can happen, by April 3rd it can happen? How many still pending.. How much percentage of Mexico gone?
What's the point?
If the next date is really March 31, why wait? Why not do it right now? Why put us through more stress? I honest to goodness don't get it.
If you're on a PIP, pack your bags.
Anyone on a PIP will be gone by no later than March 31st. Anyone receiving a FY25 employee review lower than "Successfully Meets Expectations" will also be gone.
Worst org leadership !!!
No other org leadership in the world will treat their employees this badly !! No transparency and courage to support or atleast be honest about what's going on. While M and up taking all the benefits, proactively switching orgs to save their jobs the... — read more
NetSuite
What criteria will most likely determine cuts within sales orgs?
What happens when over 50% of the jobs are gone?
Looks like the US is heading into a collapse over the next decade with the relentless jobs being lost due to H1B visas Ofdshoeing and AI. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we see over 50% of white collar jobs completely gone over the next 5... — read more
Database org update...
Hearing confirmed from senior leadership that layoffs will be impacting the Database org over the coming weeks, ~2,900 roles in total. It looks like this will roll out in phases, starting with US and then extending to EMEA. From what's being... — read more
When and how will OHAI be hit?
Do we have any idea on when OHAI is going to hit and how bad it will be? We are stretched thin as it is.
Who is the target for the layoff?
Are they going to replace everyone with H1B visas and offshore workers? Whats the gameplan?
Layoffs! Massive layoffs incoming!
Just a heads up folks- the mother of all layoffs are starting. WARN notices soon.
Any sense of how long these layoffs will go on?
Wouldn't shock me if it bleeds into next week. Good luck to all. Not much else to say at this point.
Already starting in Mx!
Today we have the 'mysterious meeting'. Last day tomorrow... And there's many people impacted :/
its happening slack numbers keep dropping since this morning

How is this even possible?
I went to see how much the workforce has shrunk over the years due to layoffs and I found... — read more
RIFs confirmed for next week
I was just informed by my manager that RIFs are happening next week and I am on the reduction list. Anyone who is non-billable is in the crosshairs. No word on what the severance package looks like.
We are all su-kers
We all su-k and need to form a union. We went thru 4 years of college, have experience, done well and now the greed of 10 people is ruining our lives and our kids lives. We have to wake up now
Layoffs began in MDC
get ready guys, they usually start in MDC then go to others
Layoffs happened in IDC , Same org which happened on March 17
Same pattern, just email, no 1:1.. What the fcuk is this pattern.. when will next wave happens
Can I volunteer to be on the list?
I'm interviewing now and may get an offer soon. If I do, can I volunteer to be laid off to get a package?
Whatever you think might save you - it won't
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 would be funny if it weren't so sad
It's amazing how many high performers suddenly become "low performers" when it's time for cuts. Every single time.
How many are left to be laid off?
Do we have a ballpark figure?
What about NetSuite?
Has anybody heard of how NetSuite might be affected by all of this?
I won't miss the chaos
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
US pilot layoff happened on Tuesday, so changes are it will happen on Tuesday again
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...

I just want to move on.
OHAI Change Freeze
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 🫡
