Even before these layoffs, Oracle already had issues with talent retention, because all capable people realized a long time ago that something is wrong here. I think that these layoffs will further encourage the departure of talents who survive. I... — read more 

I think was a clear strategy not to inform anyone, least of all the employees, about the cutbacks in workforce this week. Which makes me wonder about what else they have decided to withhold information about, like what is the future for O. I see a... — read more 

I've seen 2,000 on boards and Twitter. I think the hit was much bigger. And keep in mind that Cerner was hit big time too.

I'm tired of waiting and speculating. I keep refreshing this page every few minutes. The leadership is brave enough to get rid of thousands of people behind closed doors but they're too cowardly to come out, face us, and tell us what's going on. That... — read more 

I don’t understand why Oracle doesn’t solicit company-wide voluntary separation with employees. When I was at Oracle I knew people who were hoping they’d get laid off or wanted to volunteer to be put on “the list.” It would help thin thin the heard... — read more

Brace yourselves folks, an SVP who’s been very close to me said we should all brace ourselves, it will be a bumpy ride. Doesn’t matter if your old, young, experienced, inexperienced, there is no rhyme or reason how they go about cutting they are... — read more 

It's so frustrating. I want to learn and advance, it was easy in college and while I was a junior resource but life complicates things. I work late hours and weekends now, it's very hard to learn new things when your job is so demanding. Two kids... — read more 

Having worked with a couple of different companies that got acquired by Oracle before I was laid off myself by Oracle, I can tell you what you are experiencing is normal for Oracle. If there is a plan, they’re not sharing it with you because more... — read more 

We're nowhere near the desired number yet.

There are scheduled internal meetings at the VP level all day today in CA. Some have been flown in. Thoughts?

It's been three days since I was laid off. I know everybody is saying to jump right in, update my resume, network, and whatever else I should be doing right now but I can't focus on any of that. I'm still putting most of my energy into making sure I... — read more 

Oracle people have to worry about layoffs constantly and especially that once a year big one. You are going to be overworked which you mind but can tolerate if there would be a reward for doing so. Most and especially within the sales areas are... — read more 

And before the genius who keeps saying "You should know" responds - I no longer work for O, but I know some good people in the UGBU (along with the other BUs and departments); I care about them. Good luck to all and I wish you a short search for a... — read more 

Why they can’t attract talent to come to Oracle? Well, wonder no more! Oracle will ‘pay’ for these layoffs with more than just dollars for severance. With more than the loss of experience and customer relationships. They are paying with brand... — read more 

Any impact on folks in Cambridge and/or Belfast?

Can we have one positive thread for a change. Are there any people reading this board who left Oracle and found the grass to be much greener? I think a story or two like this would be inspirational for all folks who have been traumatized with layoffs... — read more

Is it decent enough to allow for proper time to find new employment without stressing?

It feels like it'll never end. And there are still two days to go. I'll be so severely lacking sleep by Saturday that I think I'll just sleep through the whole weekend. The fact that there's a realistic chance that layoffs will continue throughout... — read more 

Is CEGBU affected?

Is Oracle healthcare unit is affected ?

Just no communication. I don't know if that means more layoffs or what.

Has always been a traditional day for layoffs! What will Thursday bring? Hearing rumours about OCI, but others say Aug 15th. Your thoughts?

Don't be discouraged by those who say that it is very difficult to find a job now because there is a hiring freeze in many companies. Yes, that's right, some companies have a hiring freeze now, but still there are ways out of here. It is not as... — read more 

Curious how far up the chain folks are "in the know" before the axe drops...

I haven’t heard any impact to employees in Europe just yet. I’m assuming this is to do with differing employment laws (Germany make is particularly difficult to get rid of staff without due reason).

A note on OCI. LE believes he can win the cloud race with superior cloud software. SC believes that its not wise to invest billions in infrastructure in the hopes that customers may adopt Oracle Cloud. So you will continue to have what you have... — read more

No one can deny the most folks laid off are in US and their positions will be backfilled in India.

Morale was already very low and I wonder what it will be like after these layoffs... Probably zero?

I feel sorry for everyone who is affected. I hope that I will manage to find a new job before they show me the door. Unfortunately, many stayed here longer than they should have, and I believe that many would have left voluntarily in the very near... — read more

RSU docs seem to say RSU vesting is void even during the 2 week notice period, not based on final date of employment. So Oracle rushed to terminate 10,000+ workers 2 days before this year's vesting date. How ethical is that? Please confirm or... — read more
