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.
When will they realize it's not going to work?
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?
Oracle doesn't care about it's employees!
For years... No Raises. No Promotions. Increased health costs. No recognition. They could afford to take care of their people better!
Oracle needs to look closer at the GBU’s
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 with all the severance scare?
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?
ORCL up over 10% today
The market likes what is happening.
Any chance it will be done within a day?
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
Layoffs starting tomorrow
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.
Why is everybody acting like these layoffs are something new?
Oracle's been laying off consistently for years. Not all are major rounds, but it's been ongoing. This is just business as usual.
I'm good with being laid off
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
Wife (Proxies) of your Boss
Oracle management (VP's, Directors) has this bad habit of keeping another proxy or wife at office. Projects are being treated like arranged marriages between a VP and their preferred proxy. The 'spouse' in this scenario often lacks the technical... — read more
Those waiting to be put out of their misery
Taking into account the company's cash position, have you considered the possibility that you may not even get a severance?
It’s so difficult to deal with this much uncertainty
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.
Did they waste too much $$$ buying part of TikTok?

Oracle has to layoff all its Business Strategist team
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.
India Leadership will be on bit hit

Internal move in the mist of layoffs
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?
Does anyone know anything for sure?
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

Oracle SEC Lawsuit for fraud coming?
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.
