How much do earnings affect layoffs? I know bad results always equal more cuts, but what about good results? Everybody is expecting a major increase in cloud revenue, will that reduce the chance of layoffs or will it have no impact if the decision... — read more 

Layoffs on December 15th? Don't count LJE and SC out on this one. They'd give you a pink slip on the eve of Christmas Eve (12/23) while you're shopping for gifts if they could get away with the optics. For those of you gone, better things lie ahead... — read more 

Layoffs are rampant and possibly biased. Does US immigration officials audit the layoffs ? If there are no laws are broken then no company should be afraid. Cannot believe anyone can claim that there are no qualified US citizens who can do the work... — read more 

The best way for someone to prepare for a possible layoff is to make sure that their skills are still sharp and professional connections are up to date. That can't hurt even if the rumors about cuts turn out to be false. I will never understand... — read more 

Got the message today. Did not tell me when it will happen but obviously before Christmas. Coal for me and many others.

So many of you seem to need help. What advice, resources, or motivation do you need to leave? Is it your skills? Personal brand? A poor resume? You deserve better this holiday season than leadership that doesn't care about you.

I quit. I hope that I will never be in a situation that I stay in a company waiting for a package like the one in O. Given that the package is not at all generous, those who are waiting for this miserable package must be in a desperate situation? — read more 

There is always so much negativity (as to be expected on a layoff board) but for a second, can we nominate the best manager that you have worked with, and why. Let’s hope that it is not the kiss of death for a manager to be liked at Oracle. — read more

This is a complete mess. I don't remember the atmosphere ever being this tense.
