I don't really believe it
Can't rule out the possibility, but it seems to me simply unbelievable that with the existing attrition there will be cuts as well? That would be too much.
July 15?
Lot of posts pointing to july 15, what’s happening?
Oh?

Target groups?
I would love nothing more than to get a package. I've been here too long. There is more and more talk about July layoffs, but there are no more detailed insights on how big these layouts will be or who will be the target? If anyone has any useful... — read more
This is no longer a good company
Or is there someone who thinks Oracle is still a good company? My opinion is that it doesn't even look like the company I started working for. People no longer have the enthusiasm they had back in the day. Young talented people no longer like... — read more
Net Suite jobs?
I was hoping for one of those Net Suite jobs in Boulder. I thought I knew someone there, but perhaps that's not the case. How is NetSuite doing these days? Anyone know? I saw a NetSuite ad the other day. Looks like Oracle is pushing NetSuite... — read more

I guess some management want to hire young people
to fulfil the task of making average employee age younger. This won't fix Oracle's current problem. Get ride of those toxic level2, level3 managers who have root in this company. Especially, working 5, 8, 10 years. They are toxic.
Things that matter more
I left Oracle six months ago and I thought the biggest benefits of my decision to change jobs were higher pay and fewer layoffs. I was wrong. The biggest benefit turned out to be working in a positive work environment with non-toxic culture. I now... — read more
Exits are here... here and here....

Interesting Article Recommending Oracle Stock written by a convicted felon
Simply put, I am putting forward a thesis that Oracle's (ORCL) revenue CAGR will be 9% over the coming 3 years, a value not currently endorsed by many other observers. But I have seen enough and read enough to give me the confidence to suggest that... — read more
Why are so many Oracle employees so bitter?
I understand being mad at the company, I hate the constant layoffs as much as anybody else. But there's a line between being upset over something and being so bitter that it takes over your life. I honestly think that people who have reached that... — read more
Servant promoted to director
A “man” who labels himself as a “customer servant” was promoted to a director by our fruit of a director. I don’t even get how, cause he will literally not do anything more. So we have little to no money for raises but this “servant” boy gets... — read more

Stuff flows down
A buddy in support I’m friends with exposed me to this side but it wasn’t until today that I truly felt this way. If my manager wants to treat me like I’m a workhorse, Oracle and my unit doesn’t want to promote or give raises, why on earth will I... — read more
Can you imagine
what would Oracle look like and how would the company function if they were to halve the number of middle managers who do nothing? I agree with someone who said that they should not be blamed for everything because they only carry out the orders... — read more
Everybody might be considered replaceable, but that doesn't mean they should be replaced
Our leadership seems to think literally everybody at Oracle is replaceable, at least judging by their choice of people when it's time for layoffs. The problem is, they've been cutting indiscriminately for so long that we no longer have all that many... — read more

We are turning into IBM

How many times have others taken your credit?
