Interesting post on X, it's clearly not from a VP in oracle, but the numbers and sentiment in it is spot on. https://x.com/gothburz/status/2032125473199714767

In the middle of the “mother of all layoffs,” company is filing H-1B petitions saying they can’t find talent—makes perfect sense, right?

Most of the time when we are in the office everyone is just talking about the layoffs or speculating. Quite literally every single project we have worked on over the last 6 months has been halted, changed, changed again, and re-structured. So it’s... — read more 

C'mon people, share credible info if you have it. Everything I've seen is all over the place. Zero communication from upstairs, which is inconsiderate and sh---y in and of itself. Many of us may not like this job, but we all need that damn paycheck... — read more 

And don’t do “vibe coding”, your job is at risk”

Healthcare org is in chronic structural decline with demoralized staff, opaque leadership, and a broken implementation pipeline. I'm getting the he-l out before layoffs hit.

There has been nothing about layoffs in the UK yet, and I have heard nothing on the grapevine about anything in EMEA. It has NOT started. Don't get me wrong, I want it to start, and I want to be on the list. Happy to take some cash and run. I'm... — read more 

It's coming Oracle. With layoffs comes business operations distruptions. Good read a survey. https://careerminds.com/blog/cost-of-ai-layoffs?hl=en-GB

As usual only ICs impacted !! Please post otherwise.

Good luck to all of us. I need the job.

There are 475 people as now, with GBUs, Consulting, etc. The plan is too stay with ca 200. That's massive reduction, much more than 30k spread.

It's happening folks.

Brace yourself!!!!!!!

Any news on this year’s numbers? Last year we heard of 113 employees getting the axe. Has the consultation already started?

Does anyone know the final date now? It’s getting very unproductive in the sense there is no clarity to do or to not do any work?

Master plan is to cut deep and manage by moving IDC resource to US using L1B loophole if the situation demands. Good luck folks.

https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-jobs-getting-demolished-great-recession-dot-com-era-2026-3 Tech job market implosion has begun, and even before massive layoffs at Oracle and Meta.

Any one sued Oracle for H1B retaining and Laying off US worker ? What are the steps to be followed and documents required ?

Normally Oracle has a 2 year restructuring plan (e.g. 2022 and 2024 plans). However, in the latest 10-Q, this is now labelled as "Fiscal 2026 Oracle Restructuring Plan". Check it yourself at investor.oracle.com under SEC filings; top of page 11 of... — read more 

That was two years ago. Still waiting. Promotions are clearly frozen forever. Just wish they'd say it instead of dangling the carrot. I'll probably be gone before it ever happens anyway.

If you make good money, watch out. You're probably on the list. Me, I'm underpaid. So maybe they keep me around a while longer. Silver linings.

That's the only move Oracle management knows, apparently.

The number is larger than we assumed, so it's going to take some time to figure things out and set everything up. This'll be another long wait.

You should either transfer to the Nashville TN office where gas is cheaper or look to see if Oracle plans to open an office in Saint Louis Missouri and move there where gas prices are cheaper than they are in California. You probably won’t miss... — read more 

Given that RSUs are W2 income & taxed as such, it is very possible that an RSU could end up costing money (lowering one's net income): when It is taxed when the stock is high (at vesting) and then later value of the stock could be so low that it is... — read more

Who else pivoted from being terrified of layoffs to hoping to be laid off just to get out of this mess in the last couple of months or so?

to my desk and identified herself as Oracle HR. She handed me a 4-page document. HR women told me it was a layoff notice she was handing me and said it is also referred to as a warn, whatever that means.

Severance packages in the US have been consistent over the years: 2-4 weeks plus 1 week for every year of service, capped at 26 weeks. Plus one free month of cobra. Garden leave was a new benefit in 2025, which kept the dejobbed on payroll and... — read more 

So, I see the layoffs but they been hiring 100s to a 1000 plus of Data Center Technicians recently? Maybe the smart idea is to just say hey I’m gonna transfer to Abilene as a Tech and then after the layoff say megamind something came up.

Nothing going our way. So much has changed in an year, what happens next year? How can humans take revenge on AI?

I’m sure you’ve seen the news about the Amazon debacle where AWS was taken down for half a day by an AI mistake. This will not be an isolated incident. Expect more of this as companies keep replacing experienced employees with flawed AI systems. Why... — read more
