Reading some of posts here and slowly coming to conclusion that nothing unexpected is happening. Company is reorganizing. With such it's not always easy/possible to please everyone, who was maybe within underperforming units, but by themselves were... — read more 

Please tell me HGBU-FBGBU are laying off people! This has got to be the worst acquisition since Sun yet most of the Micros people are still running it in the ground. Losing money and customers, horrible references and declining sales, lay them off or... — read more

We've lost great people on our team. People who knew what they were doing and who, I'm certain, will be in high demand and will be able to find jobs with our competitors within weeks. Nobody who knows what we do and how valuable they were to our work... — read more 

I know the cost cutting will last for months and there'll be other smaller rounds in the future, but I think this was the main event and it has been wrapped up for now. I'm thinking Friday will be the "inventory" day where we get to see where we... — read more

I've seen 2,000 on boards and Twitter. I think the hit was much bigger. And keep in mind that Cerner was hit big time too.

I'm tired of waiting and speculating. I keep refreshing this page every few minutes. The leadership is brave enough to get rid of thousands of people behind closed doors but they're too cowardly to come out, face us, and tell us what's going on. That... — read more 

I don’t understand why Oracle doesn’t solicit company-wide voluntary separation with employees. When I was at Oracle I knew people who were hoping they’d get laid off or wanted to volunteer to be put on “the list.” It would help thin thin the heard... — read more

There are scheduled internal meetings at the VP level all day today in CA. Some have been flown in. Thoughts?

It's been three days since I was laid off. I know everybody is saying to jump right in, update my resume, network, and whatever else I should be doing right now but I can't focus on any of that. I'm still putting most of my energy into making sure I... — read more
