I'm afraid there is no such thing

I do not believe that greater attrition would affect how leadership treats remaining employees. Whoever thinks that if more people leave they will appreciate those who stay more, forgets that for them we are just a number, unfortunately. Is there... — read more

ADVICE THREAD: What Help Do You Need to Get Out of Oracle

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.

It's a desperate situation

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

Who’s the best?

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 

I don't want to miss the package

I really don't like it when people ask why some of us are still here and wasting our time guessing whether we will be cut or not. I understand that the advice to leave this place is well-intentional because everyone deserves better, but on the... — read more 

As the Oracle World Turns, Week of 12/4

Another week of silent layoffs come and gone at the Big O. What else is new? While the rest of the world has empathetic leaders, compassionate colleagues, and an understanding that someone—usually the CEO—erred, it's 'tis the season for uncertainty... — read more

Why reorgs fail here?

Reorganization after reorganization. In the meantime, I don't notice any improvement. Every time there are promises that everything will get better after the reorganization, but... we can all see that it's not happening. What is achieved, however... — read more 

Snowflake is Hiring

I know this is a layoff board, but Snowflake continues to do well—reporting 67% revenue growth year-over-year. Clear evidence that they are continuing to eat Oracle for lunch, and they plan to hire product engineers and sales in the next year. There... — read more

The problem is always who is being laid off

I am totally disappointed in the management. They will never admit that their bad decisions are one of the biggest reasons that this company has lost most of its talented people. As long as those who are the most competent are RIFed, and not... — read more

Most vulnerable job roles

This is a complete mess. It's not that there hasn't been a clear writing on the wall for a long time that almost everyone should have a plan B and look for new opportunities, but I didn't manage to get a better offer. That's why I'm more anxious... — read more 

December 1st

# of LR References to AWS in Keynote

How many times did Larry mention AWS? Embarrassing. If it was a drinking game everyone would have been plastered. AWS CEO did not even mention Oracle in his keynote at re:Invent yesterday. Shows how irrelevant Oracle’s

Meeting Scheduled

Myself and another member of my team both got (separate)15 minute meeting invites with our manager for today. This is highly unusual and has me very, very concerned. Anybody else get one for today?

Packages

I hope there haven't been any changes in the severance policy lately. Can someone confirm?

12/15 or 12/30 Layoffs? Don't Bet Against It.

This company would absolutely lay you off while you're in the middle of a holiday party or opening your kids' Christmas gifts. I believe the brutality is in the company DNA. If they haven't announced any layoffs internally since August, what makes... — read more

It is understandable that people ask who the target groups might be, but unfortunately, we already know that no one should feel safe except maybe the management, who in my opinion are one of the main reasons for the cuts because they have no... — read more

How long can you trade or release players without firing the coaches or the general manager. We all know that you can’t fire the owner, but people can stop coming to the games. Stop ticket subscriptions!

Failing to fix the issues

It’s hard to understand that Oracle has a negative mgjt style & they make themselves look bad when they defend themselves, degrade others. Positive leadership is not weak as they seem to think. Accountability, motivation, incentives, setting... — read more

RIFs as the only solution

It's true that O is in trouble in several areas, but I wonder if RIFs are the only solution. Leadership seems to think so and doesn't look for any other solutions, which is really frustrating.

I envy those who left
