I'm terrified of losing my job. I've been trying to find something else, anything, just in case, but the market is dead. Every email notification makes my heart stop. This is going to be a brutal month.

Outsourcing sounds good on paper until you have to redo everything because it was done wrong. The cost of poor quality is way higher than the payroll savings. When will they learn this lesson?

For years... No Raises. No Promotions. Increased health costs. No recognition. They could afford to take care of their people better!

There are lots of overlap, people doing stuff that could be done by interns, huge fat layers of mgmt that have been useless for decades. I am basically wanting good people to stay and the people who got paid off the backs of people who actually... — read more 

What’s up with the new zoom water marking? Are they trying to prevent leaks?

mgmt will decide who to lay off based on complex factors such as personal disputes, retaliation, preserving dominance and status, rivalries, and internal power struggles, often arising from cycles of poor judgment, limited opportunity, trauma, and... — read more 

The summary is work even harder and hope for the best. Really annoying to say the least

If you see a mysterious 15-30 min meeting request by a VP pr SVP pop up on your calendar last minute, in the early morning, you're being laid off. They are there to let you know the news, thank you and verify your external email address..Expect to be... — read more 

Why are there so many rumors about reduced packages, or people not getting one at all? I haven't heard anything concrete. Is this just conjecture, or is there a real change coming?

The market likes what is happening.

Once layoffs start, are they usually completed the same day? This’ll be my first layoff since I joined, and I’m more stressed than I’ve ever been. I’m worried one of the criteria will be last in, first out, which means I’m probably gone. I don’t... — read more 

Heads up everyone. It’s happening starting tomorrow. If you see communication to get as much work done before end of sprint then be prepared for RIF right after.

Oracle's been laying off consistently for years. Not all are major rounds, but it's been ongoing. This is just business as usual.

As long as I'm given decent severance, I'll happily leave this place behind. I don't see anything positive in Oracle's future, at least when it comes to employees, so getting out sooner rather than later would be a win in my book. Again, as long as I... — read more

We're not living in some golden age where jobs are easy to find. I'm freaking out, and by the looks of it, the vast majority of people around me are too.

Why the layoffs now? Did they waste too much money buying part of Tik Tok?

What exactly do they do ???? outside of milking $$

Oracle has no public sense. Oracle twitter posting says: The NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI. We remain highly confident in OpenAI’s ability to raise funds and meet its commitments.

Most of India's leadership does nothing than a people management. Critical resources might be moved under top leadership in USA letting lots of India's leaders to go. Get ready folks

I got an offer to internally transfer from OCI to the DB org, should I take it? Or just wait for the head chopping while preparing for the outside world?

We can assume some of the layoff rumors are true. But it would be a huge relief just to know the timeline. Stressing constantly, expecting every week to be the week, is too much. If the job market were better right now, fewer of us would be worried... — read more 

I assume this email is the start of the process

Let me save you some time scrolling through the portal. Key info: Will there be layoffs this year? Yes. Why? Because Oracle does layoffs every year. Which roles will be affected? All roles. Will my product be affected? If your product makes... — read more 

What’s the chance LE, Safra Catz, Clay and Mike might be named eventually in a SEC lawsuit for fraud and materially falsifying information to investors over its debt capacity? I think it’s pretty likely. Especially if they sell Cerner.

I just want to reassure everyone that whatever happens with Oracle and its debt, LE will come out on top and unscathed. He is five steps ahead of everyone else playing the game, and his (and his family’s) nest egg will only continue to grow... — read more
