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?

Well once again August 17th has rolled around. Take a moment to remember USA 17 now lonely in the Emerald City pond and wish the Lord of Lanai a happy 78th and a good price on the Florida teardown he's flipping for 9 figures.

Raises coming or more layoffs.

Last few weeks have been a total nightmare. I'm starting to feel like Kevin Bacon in Animal House during the initiation scene. I'm sick of prostrating myself at this company. When are they going to subject us to it all over again? Has the dust... — read more 

Hi everyone, I’m trying to move from Apps to Tech as an SE, and if successful I’ll move from IC3 to IC4. How can I get a proper salary pump with this move? and what should be my expectations for the new package?

Should I be worried. Pardon my ignorance.

I'm a little ashamed to say it, considering all the people who were affected and to whom this job meant a lot. However, I am totally disappointed that I didn't get cut. All the time I worked minimally, hoping that I would be cut and get the... — read more 

I have an Offer from Oracle 225k + one year worth stocks vesting over 4 years . Reading these feedback makes me think if i should accept it . Any thoughts ? The offer is in OCI Org.

Anyone in UK has any update on when this will come to us?

I'm among the lucky ones whose team managed to avoid layoffs in this round but I know if even one person was cut we'd have major issues with the workload. We're swamped right now and losing somebody would make it ten times harder to get things done... — read more 

Is anyone received instructions on how to return laptop and other item?

Has anyone been offered a lower severance package than the WARN Act guidelines for their state? And why are they making us wait another 3 days for our severance details?

I don't have any form of non-compete as it stands. Does anyone know what the severance agreement looks like? I have less than 1 year here so my incentive to agree to some bloated severance contract is non-existent. If I get laid off from Oracle can... — read more 

Stability in any case should just be erased from your mind completely because there is no such thing as stability at Oracle anymore. Those who want a stable position, maybe it would be better to start looking for something new right away.

Can we expect more cuts?

My experience throughout the years tells me that we have just scratch the surface in terms of layoffs. When layoffs happen at Oracle they tend to go on for a longer period of time in larger and smaller waves. I believe that a lot of the employees are... — read more 

Anyone heard about layoffs from hardware org or anything coming?

Anyone out there, anywhere in the world, who has an unexpected meeting on their calendar with their manager or their manager. After mid month we may see additional activity as they use their own version of rolling thunder around the world.

I started as an external hire in Cloud App support group recently. Looks like the timing for the move was completely wrong. Any advice? Should i start looking for another job ? Our manager said in a team meeting that our team is not impacted by the... — read more

MID LEVEL LAYOFF IN INDIA - DIRECTORS ASKED TO LEAVE

Beware the Ides of August! Time for the next round of cuts on the 15th! March was just another cycle of Oracle layoffs.

A major restructuring coming to support Org . Many teams under MS will be restructured and combined . Retrain and use same resources (cheap) for new products is the strategy instead of hiring new (expensive) .

Does the management really think that things can continue to work this way, after cutting our colleagues those of us who survived are supposed to be doing double workloads?

I was disappointed and surprised when I heard that they cut a person that Oracle should have kept at all costs because he was an exceptional talent. Supposedly, the manager assured him beforehand that he was safe. I'm interested in whether anyone... — read more 

We wont know until the 10Q comes out in September if the true number set aside for severance packages really is 1 Billion. But, if it is $1Billion I don't think enough people were let go. Traditionally the big layoffs come in June. Not sure why... — read more

What happened to this? Is this still coming? Can anyone share plans they’ve heard?

When should employees expect to hear about their raises from this focal?

If your department moves from Larry to Safra is that a bad sign?

I'm somewhat happy to be laid off. The company certainly lost its direction a long time ago. As far as I can see, Oracle thinks that too many managers and a lowest talent cost is a sustainable strategy in the long run. Isn't that the worst possible... — read more 

I hope that the leadership has carefully considered the impact that reducing employee headcount will have on products and services to customers. Chances are that the impact will be terrible?

I'm still amazed at who the leadership decided to lay off. Even McDonald's doesn't lay off people who do good work and this place has no issues with getting rid of some of our best. How is that good business strategy? How is that going to help Oracle... — read more
