I know some states have WARN policies, if we live in those states are we able to sue?
Nobody here is safe
A smug as----e I know who kept telling everybody willing to listen how he's not worried about cuts because he knows his value but also made sure to tell everybody to "prepare" because apparently, we're not as valuable as he is gone. I know he was... — read more
It'll take a while until I can feel safe again
I know people are speculating on whether this will end this week, or next, or next month, but I know I won't feel safe much longer than that. With as little transparency that surrounded this process, I can't trust this management not to do something... — read more
Buckle up its gonna be a bit uncertain until September
I made the post about June layoffs (as that was traditionally the time for mass layoffs) and I was wrong about the dates. Also was not certain where the layoffs would occur. I was going off the latest 10K and 10Q to make a prediction. Also taking... — read more

I was treated like cr-p at Oracle and threw a bone
I offered to help. My company isn’t even doing great but I offered.
Who will do the work?
Apart from all the knowledge and experience we are cutting. Apart from all of the customer relationships. Apart from all the money invested in education and training for certifications, there remains the question of who will do the work?
Today wasn't as bad
From what I can see and find online, today wasn't half as bad as Monday. That gives me hope that the brunt of it might be behind us already and we'll just hear about more sporadic cuts for the remainder of the week before it's finally over. Unless... — read more
Severance - Negotiable?
I'm assuming the answer is no, but has anyone negotiated a better severance? I've been in the workforce 20+ years. I left a job that I was at for 7+ years to come to Oracle but I joined Oracle LESS than a year ago. I have a spouse and kids. Am I... — read more
Where's the tone from the top?
Layoffs are going on, rumors and gossip in (social) media everywhere. But no communication from the 'leadership' team of Oracle, leaving Oracle's workforce globally in limbo about the bigger plan behind this and Oracle's future strategy. Lesson #1 in... — read more
Big lesson
Some of my colleagues were cut, and I am surprised that they were cut, given that they were perhaps the best people in our team, top experts. There are many feelings right now, but in talking with them, almost all of them are confident that they will... — read more

Straight white male executives somehow remain
I'd like to say I'm absolutely shocked that some generic talentless generic straight white males that add no value are still employed. But I'm not. For a company that likes to harp on about it's diversity and other meaningless platitudes it's no... — read more
Survived, but…
Survived and got 2 hours of sleep. Now wide awake: thinking about colleagues let go today, how long I have until I’m in their position, and what questions I need to ask over the next few weeks to determine if I have anywhere between 3-12 months of... — read more

OCI North America was just gutted
I was on the call with most of OCI's N/A division, and everyone who was on the call was laid off (including me.) Technically we're still employees until the 15th of this month, and we're still awaiting details of our severance, next steps... — read more
Working through the uncertainty hanging around
Uncertainty is the worst. I've never been laid off before and it would be a big shock to me if I were affected, but in any case I would like to find out the bad news as soon as possible. When can we expect this round of layoffs to end?
All Hands SaaS Support cancelled twice for August, some changes/layoffs might take place
Applications Service Excellence all-hands had two attempts for different dates in August, but was cancelled every time. Initial schedule was for the first week of August, the second was scheduled for last week of August. It's very likely that some... — read more
Tuesday Update
Any new layoffs today to report? Do we have a headcount cut in your org?
The future of CX?
Speaking from someone in HCM... CX isn't a great product, but there were some great people in CX. They'll have to keep CX around, but I imagine they'll treat CX like they've treated the sunsetting of Taleo. The tough part is, what do you do with... — read more

Is this unit safe
Belfast off closed, 100% layoffs
News just in, following the Cambridge office rifs in commerce cx, the Belfast office has just been completely riffed
It's almost 'game over' for commerce
Any more layoffs in commerce and it will crumple inwards. Developers are spread too thin, and there’s too much legacy tech debt to overcome. Some teams have been good about getting rid of debt and transitioning, but most teams are clinging on to 20+... — read more
BTW, Cerner is having layoffs too
It looks like this is orchestrated and it looks like they have fairly large cuts as well thelayoff.com/cerner
Is anybody else here in the middle of the night because you're too stressed to sleep?
I think I managed an hour of sleep total.
Layoffs
Greetings. Although I have wished for better times I felt now as good as ever to extend a hand of friendship. At Cerner we’ve had layoffs for +3 years preparing to be acquired. It’s the not-so-secrete plan hatched after our founder died of Cancer and... — read more
Is CX done?
I'm going to assume that areas that were already hit are done and the rest of the cuts will come from other departments/groups?
The Register
If you wish to share any details about the latest Oracle layoffs, feel free to get in touch. Tom Claburn Reporter for The Register tclaburn (at) theregister (dot) com
I might be paranoid
But the majority of people I know who were laid off so far are at least in their late 40s. At least. Most of them are in their 50s. Yes, I do know some people who have been here just for a few years who've been cut but they seem to be a minority. It... — read more
Are there any laoffs in OCI?

Call in the morning
Just got a meeting put for my whole team of 100+ in the morning. I’m assuming this is more of the same tomorrow.
Unemployment benefits?
Can I apply for unemployment after accepting severance package?
Explain severance pls
I just got the call this AM that “my position has been eliminated”. I’m still in shock so the .pdf explaining my package is all gobbledygook to me (I’m also neuro divergent so that prob factors in) I have 6 yrs at Oracle Someone explain how... — read more
