Just got an email to complete. Read the room Oracle where is your compassion? How likely will they read|take my comments, do these go into a black hole.. Geesh
Oracle showed true colors early and often. Most (smart) people adapted (or simply left)
20+ year employee here from Support. I'll simply state this - had about 5 solid years out of the company and then you could see the downhill slide. Phased out bonuses and pushed salaried employees to be hourly long before that. 3% raise every 3... — read more
Oracle - get ready for H1b audit
We noticed lots of greencard and US citizens were laidoff where H1b in same team survived. This seems one of favoritism for low cost worker. Filed a case for this. Seems lots of H1b frauds floating around in Texas and Nashville and Oracle is hiring... — read more
Cut the dead weight
The layoffs keep happening over and over again but somehow the same useless people always remain. You know the type. The ones who've been here two decades, add nothing, and have mastered the art of hiding. They need to go, ASAP. Cut them and bring in... — read more
Just waiting for my number to come up
Being employed is still better than job hunting while unemployed, so that's what I've been doing. The office has been chaotic for months, which means I can focus on what actually matters to me. Management's inability to manage through layoffs? Not my... — read more

Oracle's culture is a dumpster fire
I know layoffs happen, but Oracle has created a culture of fear and uncertainty that can't be ignored. Why put in extra effort when raises are like unicorns? Why work hard when promo's are nonexistent and dry most of the time? Why give 110% when... — read more
Was Australia impacted in this round
Does anyone know if Australia was already impacted in Mar/Apr?
Law Firm Update - READ BEFORE YOU SIGN
https://www.monkhouselaw.com/oracle-layoffs/
Damn, they are destroying this company one executive at a time.
First CM and now this new CFO. Oracle is in the death spiral. Happened the moment LE let the AWS castaways into RS. Honestly, if you're still at Oracle after last week's RIF and today's announcement you must be just sticking around to collect a... — read more

What a relief to finally leave
You don't see how that place consumes you and warps your perspective until you're on the other side. I don't care what comes next. I'm taking time off to reset, then I'll job hunt. Best of luck to all of you still there. Leaving Oracle isn't a... — read more
Gas too high in California. You would be smart if you
packed it up and move to either St Louis Missouri, Chicago Illinois, Detroit Michigan Memphis Tennessee Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Baltimore Maryland or Washington DC
PIP’s
Are these normally delivered with a formal letter from hr with a stated action by date, or just a written action plan from your manger?
31st March was the beginning with 10K layoff first wave, there are another 20,000 left to be done.
The next wave will start soon.
Laid off after 15 years
Finding entire skill set is obsolete. World is completely different than the one we lived in. No one understands what I worked on for 15 years and if I can bring any value to them.
Not looking forward to tomorrow
We lost more than half of our team. I have no idea how things will look from this point on. I'm worried we'll be reassigned to other teams, and I really don't want to lose my remaining coworkers or my manager. She's one of the few good ones left. I... — read more
12k or 30k
How many were laid off in the end? 12 k with another 18k to go or have all 30k been notified already?
Anyone have a current Slack General (Oracle One) channel count?
Curious where it's at...
Layoff and FMLA
So, they are using RIFs to specifically target FMLA and people on Disability.
Layoff is Minimal
Honestly, Oracle’s layoffs weren't even that deep, but they’re definitely still ghosting some projects. Now they’re in this weird spot where they need bodies in Nashville, but they're being cheap and won't shell out $100k for new people, so they’re... — read more
Legislators over Oracle
Concerned about H-1Bs replacing Americans and other abuses by Oracle? These legislators have jurisdiction over Oracle HQ: Rep. Greg Casar: https://casar.house.gov/contact Sen. John Cornyn: https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/share-opinion/ Sen. Ted... — read more
Oracle Manner in which layoffs were done
I concern is not the Layoffs but the manner in which they were done. The percentage was not uniform across teams. Some teams had only 15% while some teams ( Not On-Prem)) had close to 45%. No one knows how people were selected. We have seen some good... — read more
Sue for anything, sue for everything...
I guess this is the revenge phase of layoff grief... sue because of H1Bs, sue because of RSUs, sue because your blue... I have never seen so many posts regarding potential litigation yet no one has provided any proof. You will need proof when you get... — read more
If you are expecting RSUs in the next 6 months, consider suing before your last day
The chance of winning is 90%, and you can find a lawyer who will take the case for 10–25% of the RSUs. It is well established that laying off employees before RSUs vesting in 6 months is illegal, not to mention immoral.
Don't cry here, if you want something petition your Representative or Senator
Why are you crying about this and that.
After this round of massive layoffs
It is more and more visible in social media that people get angry and there is also copy paste trend about data protection. People are massively pasting under their random posts on Lnkdn the text: “Is there a firewall separating OH patient data from... — read more
Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs

Not looking forward to what's coming
Not just more layoffs, but the endless chaos that always follows the cuts. The pressure on whoever's left to pick up the pieces and grind harder will be relentless. We will be expected to work our as--s off in exchange for likely being next in line... — read more
If you are RIFed, there is an external slack group of support.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/terryhale1 - please message Terry and get the Slack link to join the Slack group. Many topics are being discussed out there.
How's everyone feeling?
Now that the weekend is here and the worst of it is behind us, does it feel like a weight’s been lifted, or are you still in a knot? I’m definitely in the second group. It’s going to take a while before I feel normal again. This kind of thing sticks... — read more

Most warn notices still have projected dates lasting till June 2026
There are enough warn notices that are circulating (state wise) that show execution dates ending till june 2026, so this is not yet over and hence no official communication of all things done - even VP+ who are trying to calm the waters are doing... — read more
