What was the point of working hard, getting a good review, caring about your customers, and adding value, only to be let go while performing better than others? Totally absurd, thank you Oracle I can move to something better.
Job market
Is it really as bad as people are saying? I've been looking for the past few days and there are plenty of good positions available, which confused me. Are these real or are they just placeholders?
Does the WARN act apply to flex employees?
I was not remote, but flex and had to go to the office 3 days a week and use a flex workspace. Would WARN apply in my case?
For those who remain, #watercooler and #wtf have been expunged
The two slack groups in the subject are gone as of this evening. There was a lot of posting from/about laid-off coworkers in #watercooler, while #wtf was ultimately a self-help group (with some blowing-off-steam, and good humor as well). The... — read more
10% layoff this year, means more again
As thought process is machines will replace engineers and more focus towards AI enablement this year, which means more cuts next year 🤔
Are the already affected departments even safe?
Doubt it, but I guess we’re supposed to “hope”.
Offshore meetings, discussions and sharing of work
In some cases, the operational decisions made by Oracle directors are completely baffling. They have this pattern of reassigning projects from their U.S. and European employees to offshore teams, which consistently creates major friction. Initially... — read more
Notice period and severance pay
Hello all, the notice period and amount of severance pay vary from country to country. I was wondering if you received notice period and severance pay according to the law in your country or did Oracle provide you with an extra package beyond the... — read more

Got invite, what things should I do as I have 24 hours
What all things should I do. Also do sick leaves get paid in Australia
Whats going on ?
The company's completely silent. Management was told to just hold the status quo, no new plans. Honestly, I'm just going through the motions now that my VP is gone. We talked about all my career goals, and now he's not around. I'm really not sure... — read more
Should I take a position at a lower pay?
With all the bad news lately, I feel like I have no moral at O. I'm an engineering support in fusion U.S., and I've been fortunate enough to receive a job offer from another company on Friday , even though it comes with a 20 percent pay cut. In the... — read more
More layoff in the near future!
Oracle's high debt ratio indicates that the company is unlikely to take on additional debt to fund its AI infrastructure plan, especially if it aims to maintain a high stock value. The latest round of layoffs is expected in the near furure... — read more

My Voice Survey - What a Joke

H1B concubines (H1b favoritism, Bias, workplace credit fraud)
My boss is all in on using H1Bs, even with citizens and green card holders on the team who have the same skills. He’s literally taking work from U.S. employees and putting an H1B's name on it. The H1Bs aren't even doing the real work; they're just... — read more

Not looking forward to the weekend
This place has su-ked all the joy out of my life. All I do is worry. I’m lucky, I’m in my late 20s and don’t have a family. I feel for my teammates who have to go home and put on a happy face for their spouses and children. I don’t think I could... — read more
Team and position
Do we have an idea of the teams most likely to be affected (OCI / OCC / support / ...) and the type of position (sales / pre-sales / support / ...) to anticipate the EEA layoffs?

How was this week so far?
Did your managers already start assigning work from your laid off coworkers to you? Mine tried, but I said I was so swamped there was no way to fit it in. So, so incredibly busy. Which, honestly, isn’t even a lie. I plan on staying “too busy” for it... — read more

Market Cheers While Jobs Disappear
The real story isn’t that Wall Street doubts Oracle — it’s that they’re buying every bit of the spin. The market’s reaction after the earnings call just hands leadership a license for more cuts. To be fair, none of us should be shocked. Everyone who... — read more
