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.

Also-ran technology, trying to play catch-up to the market leaders, struggling to rank 5th or 6th on a field of 3. All the layoffs in the world won't save them.

just saying

What is your manager saying?

They did pilot layoff on Tuesday on OCI support organisation, and that's it.. radio silence... They are rumours by end of March... Does management spread this rumor.. or directors spreading this rumor... The wait is ki-ling... Constant thinking... I... — read more

If yes, how long did it take for you to recover?

They cost a bunch right away with severance and other related stuff, and then they hire new people who might be cheaper but are less productive and sometimes need two new employees to cover what one person used to do. How does that somehow equate to... — read more 

All concerns are just temp. Sales/profits are growing fast. This will offset debt over time... recent OpenAI funding reduces risk around its contract with us. Debt peaked. We are valued at 20x revenue, below averages - when we adjust to 25x the stock... — read more

If Oracle had a sound for what it feels like clocking in everyday- it would be the trending tik tok sound of the saxophones growing louder and louder and louder until they axe us all lmaooooooo
