I was just laid off . So far we lost 6 people. No email, just access denied. F&B GBU
Emails will be sent once US round is over
The US layoff round is not over until all managers are awake in all US timezones. This is an adjustment to the process from last round feedback. Also the figure will be close to 17k globally
Bloodbath
I survived but I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I have no idea how I'll do my job without so many people who support my role. Whelp, guess if they don't care then I don't either. I won't have any customers to support anyway.
Numbers
Some crude Math - if $1.8B was ~21000, the new $700M should be around 8100 people. Looks like ~3000 in the US today so far...
"Change is the medium for opportunity."
Today Oracle has released me to meet my future head on with no impediments for this former remote OCI gal. I love a good rollercoaster ride, so here's to looking for, and finding, all the silver linings and rainbows. They shouldn't be too hard to... — read more
Accounts will be locked, no Oracle access?
Appears a decision was made to lock accounts first rather than risk OWAN access for affected employees. Expect an email to your personal address on file and possibly a call from your manager.
this time there is not even an email !!
they just lock everything and thats it no communication wow ! slack is already down by about 4k person
Current count: 147,545
I believe this is drop is the start of the layoff. Prayers to all
Laid off - OCI
Unable to access email, VPN, etc.
Oracle’s AI transformation gets more expensive as layoffs continue
https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/lr4q3x1fx
I'm numb at this point
Three layoffs in a row has taken most of the shock out of it for me. I hoped Oracle would break the streak, but chances are I was wrong. It was a good year and a half, I guess.
Europe, let us know what's going on
Any cuts so far? I'm wide awake, hoping for any info.
Its mainly executives
This time mainly targeting Executives (VP, Snr D, D, Snr Mgrs).
It will not happen at least next 3 weeks
Quarterly results were good but still stock price didn’t go up. Layoffs will happen when market sentiment improves and Oracle will trade off human capital against stock gains. They will hire again as they need to deliver. They can always hire cheap... — read more
Slack is down to 149K!
This is the lowest slack count its been in months. Even if they don't do mass layoffs, Oracle is definitely trending downward. I'm on a development team for a business unit piloting even more AI automation tools. End to end autonomous development is... — read more
6am emails in the US!
I work in HR and I'm going on the record to anonymously confirm with everyone that 6am emails will be sent starting in the US. I work with a team in California overseeing the layoff process. Approximately 17,000 employees will be impacted globally... — read more
So nothing happened today too? Did you get laid off today?
So is it happening today?
Spend those sweet GPT-6 Astra tokens while you have them
I hope everyone is utilizing their quota for Astra tokens to update your resume in various formats and perhaps cover letters for specific positions to apply to right away.
Hey Ganesha
Stop the Layoffs.
RIFs in the new Security and GRC
Recently re-orged to Security and GRC from Cerner. Should we expect layoffs? Last rounds security teams were hit but not as strong as other groups.
Any Layoffs in CEGBU Team in ANZ?
Any layoffs in Australia and New Zealand tomorrow?
RSU vesting in next 50-60 days, your on list
If you’re not someone who owns the service at the IC4/IC5 level, you’re probably on the list. The last RIF targeted similar roles, and leadership has been pretty clear that AI is increasing productivity and that we can get more done with fewer... — read more
Is there a chance severance becomes a thing of the past?
I wasn't aware until recently that severance is not law-mandated. What's to stop this leadership from offering it? It's not something that would surprise me at this point.
Who wants to bet it doesn't happen on Monday?
It gets postponed once again?
“As of the end of May, the company had about 49,000 US workers while about 92,000 were employed internationally”
You can see where this is headed. US employees will be obsolete
To those who will be impacted Monday
Take some time off, don’t immediately jump into a job search. Go spend time with family and friends. Take that trip you talked about but never took. Enjoy the freedom. There are better jobs and companies out there, a layoff from Oracle will be a... — read more
A Ai agent called me, and I hangup the phone, get me a f-kin real human on the line.
We should not answer any Ai agents
I Volunteered
I informally volunteered for any RIF in the U.S. No feedback yet from management. Hoping they snip me next week. Will keep y'all posted as the process unfolds. Or doesn't unfold.
Day 12 of feeding my dog chocolate until I’m laid off
When will it end ugh
Total Decimation of US Employees
VP for our org is based in India and has used these layoffs as pretext to totally decimate US employees. He treats few remaining US employees as contractors and not part of his team. IDC employees as "us" and US employees as "them" . The... — read more
It finally happened
I'm praying for layoffs to happen. Never thought this day would come, but it did. I just need this to be over.
...started sporadically since beginning of September
RIF started sporadically beginning of September and ongoing...Some received notification early Friday before noon. And some genuine 'volunteered' to be on the 'list'. After I finished work at the end of the day, I felt surreal, sad and somber after... — read more
9/11 no acknowledgement
Oracle truly has become self consumed as shown by their blatant disrespect for what is such a humble day. Since when did gigawatts become more important? Our exec leadership should be ashamed of themselves. Not one email, not one thought not even a... — read more

Leadership keeps treating employees like cr-p, and we're just supposed to be okay with it. We have two CEOs, endless bureaucracy, bloated management, and a company direction that makes no sense - but somehow the problem is never with those above... — read more
