What is the typical bonuses for those that are IC3 ?

Layoffs next Friday! All industry orgs! Managers included. I’m hearing this from the very top.

People are just maintaining status quo. No one willing to contribute out of box in fear of No recognition, No salary hikes or promotions. Skilled people were exploited until they stopped innovating. No one is motivated to contribute extra. 2... — read more 

Oracle ran up hard into late 2024 on AI and cloud optimism, pushing valuation well above its historical range. As rates stay higher for longer, the market is rotating out of expensive AI-adjacent names and back toward near-term cash flow... — read more 

There’s a growing misconception that AI "does the entire work. employees are sitting and watching". In reality, AI is helper not full-performer. Still lots of development requires human efforts. Management is pushing towards AI. The problem is once... — read more

Just asking if any managers are willing to shed some light on the layoff rumors. Are you having meetings to rate everyone employee or what?

This is a genuine question, I am not trolling. Nothing I've heard so far makes any business sense.

Oracle spent on Tiktok, Oracle spending on Datacenter. Though this might facilitate Oracle in long run, its going to definitely affect a lot in the short term. Revenue ? Employees ? Waiting on March earnings report

Oracle Government, Defense and Intelligence (GDI) Federal Sales -- Any layoffs?

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?
