Division: Appraisal: Bonus: RSUs
Q2 starts Thursday
How many will still be here to see Q3, whether it is our choice or theirs? If you are looking, congratulations, and leave a note to encourage others.
It is crucial to have skills up to date
I don't intend to stay here much longer. I am questioning whether I have the right skills to meet the prospective employer's needs. Why are there so many who say that their skills have atrophied here?
RSUs
Been allocated RSUs for the first time. Could anyone help me understand the T&Cs for that? Have not yet received an email about it. Hence, I am asking. TIA.
Oracle's Head of Revenue Operations Told to Cut Costs, Insiders Say
Imagine being led by someone nicknamed the "Hatchet Man." Makes Ax-Man feel warm and fuzzy in comparison. https://archive.ph/eUKFR
Hesitant to leave?
Oracle has been losing top technical talent for many years, commonly known to us all as "brain drain". And while I am sure that there is still top talent still at O, I know for a fact there are also still a lot of bozos there as well. For a long... — read more
Anyone in Support getting a raise?
SM's all hands call today mentioned lots of compensation increases to be dolled out either already or shortly. Anyone in Support heard anything about this and/or seen any sort of raise communicated to you? My leadership team in AppsUL is inept AF... — read more
Product development
I've given up on O doing the right thing. However, I can't help but wonder why more money isn't invested in product development?
Get over it
So much complaining about something that should be seen as business as usual. We live in capitalism and if you think anybody is going to gift you anything you are wrong. You have to fight for the things you want and you need to make sure they happen... — read more
Embarrassed to admit I work for Oracle
The time when it was an honor to work here is long gone. Are you too now ashamed to admit that you work here? I think that the reputation of the company is rapidly getting worse.

We're down to the best of the best
Had a useless 1x1 meeting this week with my inept AF manager. Highlight of the discussion was when, after I brought up again how unfortunate/unsustainable/problematic/etc. it was that we'd lost so many people to attrition and/or forced outs as of... — read more
Getting rehired
I know in advance that some will say that the stupidest thing a person can do is to try to apply again for one of the positions after getting cut. However, everyone has their reasons. I am only interested in one thing, and that is what is the... — read more

Things that have changed at Oracle since I joined
In a little over a decade, the number of good workers has gone down significantly, the amount of work we're expected to do for the same pay has gone up, as have stress levels due to constant layoffs. The quality of management has gone down... — read more

What Oracle product lines have been safe vs affected?
Does anyone know which Oracle products have been safe from layoffs? Vs which ones have been dismantled? Oracle seems to have solid products based on capabilty, but which ones are msking them money?
Why are you selling yourself short?
It is surprising to see how many people here write that they accepted lower paid jobs just to get out of Oracle as soon as possible. Personally I don't know anyone who agreed to a less lucrative offer, everyone got much better offers.
EMEA folks gather here

Laid off/Interviewing with big tech and startups
I got laid off but I was already looking beforehand so it worked out. I’m currently getting reached out to by big tech and startups. I’ve noticed that startups are paying more by $20-40k. This might be a stupid question but do you go with more money... — read more

I started applying when word of layoffs started making the rounds
I just landed my first offer. It's a smaller company and they offer a little less money but better benefits and from what I can see much better company culture. I'll be honest, I'm tempted to accept it. I never thought I'd be considering a job that... — read more

I am looking for a new job and it is in my interest to get it before I get laid off because my severance pay would not be large. But what surprises me is that many who would otherwise get a big severance payoff are leaving as well? Why leave this... — read more

Uber-ize support and and other Oracle roles. Return Oracle to industry leadership.
More attention needs to be paid to this brilliant suggestion: @1lyh+1ifHBh9N Support is a high turnover role. Not much training or skill required (at least not to meet Oracle's existing support quality standards today). Uber-izing support would... — read more
Continuation of layoffs
I wish there was a way to know when layoffs will continue. I envy those who are no longer stressing over it after the latest round but for me, knowing that there's more to come is still keeping me up at night - including right now. I'm not sure how... — read more

Severance
How much money are y’all getting for the severance packages. Dollar amount or percentage of salary would be helpful to know to see if I got screwed.
Totally true
From an earlier post … “If you have been with the company a long time then you're getting extra screwed so you get the added bonus of knowing that college grad's who know nothing about Oracle makes more than you.”
Oracle on resume
Someone's comment that Oracle looks good on a resume made me laugh. I wonder if that was a sarcastic comment or if someone actually thinks that Oracle still looks good on a resume?
