OCI North America was just gutted
I was on the call with most of OCI's N/A division, and everyone who was on the call was laid off (including me.) Technically we're still employees until the 15th of this month, and we're still awaiting details of our severance, next steps... — read more
Working through the uncertainty hanging around
Uncertainty is the worst. I've never been laid off before and it would be a big shock to me if I were affected, but in any case I would like to find out the bad news as soon as possible. When can we expect this round of layoffs to end?
All Hands SaaS Support cancelled twice for August, some changes/layoffs might take place
Applications Service Excellence all-hands had two attempts for different dates in August, but was cancelled every time. Initial schedule was for the first week of August, the second was scheduled for last week of August. It's very likely that some... — read more
Tuesday Update
Any new layoffs today to report? Do we have a headcount cut in your org?
The future of CX?
Speaking from someone in HCM... CX isn't a great product, but there were some great people in CX. They'll have to keep CX around, but I imagine they'll treat CX like they've treated the sunsetting of Taleo. The tough part is, what do you do with... — read more
Oracle Hospitality
Is this unit safe
Belfast off closed, 100% layoffs
News just in, following the Cambridge office rifs in commerce cx, the Belfast office has just been completely riffed
It's almost 'game over' for commerce
Any more layoffs in commerce and it will crumple inwards. Developers are spread too thin, and there’s too much legacy tech debt to overcome. Some teams have been good about getting rid of debt and transitioning, but most teams are clinging on to 20+... — read more
BTW, Cerner is having layoffs too
It looks like this is orchestrated and it looks like they have fairly large cuts as well thelayoff.com/cerner
Is anybody else here in the middle of the night because you're too stressed to sleep?
I think I managed an hour of sleep total.
Layoffs
Greetings. Although I have wished for better times I felt now as good as ever to extend a hand of friendship. At Cerner we’ve had layoffs for +3 years preparing to be acquired. It’s the not-so-secrete plan hatched after our founder died of Cancer and... — read more
Is CX done?
I'm going to assume that areas that were already hit are done and the rest of the cuts will come from other departments/groups?
The Register

I might be paranoid
But the majority of people I know who were laid off so far are at least in their late 40s. At least. Most of them are in their 50s. Yes, I do know some people who have been here just for a few years who've been cut but they seem to be a minority. It... — read more
Are there any laoffs in OCI?
Heard layofss in other business unites, What about OCI?
Call in the morning
Just got a meeting put for my whole team of 100+ in the morning. I’m assuming this is more of the same tomorrow.
Unemployment benefits?
Can I apply for unemployment after accepting severance package?
Explain severance pls
I just got the call this AM that “my position has been eliminated”. I’m still in shock so the .pdf explaining my package is all gobbledygook to me (I’m also neuro divergent so that prob factors in) I have 6 yrs at Oracle Someone explain how... — read more
Where is the communication !!!
It is absolutely appalling that while the web is flooded with "unofficial" reports all about Oracle layoffs. Not a word has been communicated from our leadership about what is going on and what they have planned around laying off employees. No... — read more
It will get you exactly nowhere
Even if I survive these layoffs, I will do my best to leave Oracle as soon as possible. Because it will be terrible for the survivors. I already know what awaits them - more work than ever, more stress than ever. This has become a place where... — read more
Is Oracle going into hiring freeze?
I am reading about rescinded offers on top of the layoffs?
Until these layoffs, I thought that this ship could be saved
But now I don't think it will be long before it hits the rock bottom...
Told you guys many years ago. Leave Oracle now!
Even you are not affected this time. Sooner or later you will be removed. You are nothing.
Seattle OCI is excluded — SAFE!
Congrats, OCI bros. We are the core of the new Oracle and cannot be touched. Drinks on Thursday?

Layoff Locations
From what I can gather today everything I am hearing is that Layoff's are being done in US. At time of this post (now 2 PM) on East Coast our offices are now closed in Europe and I haven't heard anything from teams over there about Layoffs. ... — read more
Oracle marketing too
Lots of folks in marketing were let go too, part of their shared services concept. Events and operations positions from what I can tell
OA team got thanos-ed
The OA team was affected. Pretty much halved the team.
How many will be laid off?
Do we know the number yet? Someone mentioned 800 in CX (watercooler), does this seem about right?
Severance
Any changes to the standard severance terms for the departing folks. Sorry to hear about the cuts, given all the rumors about big CX hits that we had over last two months I guess nobody is surprised any more. Let's see how this one ends up, it feels... — read more
We have a long week ahead of us
Layoffs usually don't happen on Mondays, so the fact that we've already started means they need more time than usual to get it done. The number might end up being higher than we originally expected. I think we'll be seeing layoffs throughout the... — read more
Are any other groups aside from CX affected?
Have you heard about any layoffs outside CX?
