Some people still believe only the poor performers should be worried about layoffs?

Cerner acquisition not likely the reason for Oracle layoffs
More likely because of huge investment in Sports Marketing like Red Bull Racing and Sail GP. Not enough money left over for other marketing
Just joined in CX…
I’m not in marketing or product development but am customer facing. Am I safe? Manager says so but I really hate joining at a time like this (acquisition/cost cutting came after I joined).

I would be okay with layoffs if they targeted low performers
That's not what's going to happen, though, judging by previous rounds. Layoffs will be primarily based on who managers like or dislike for whatever reason. Who earns the most (mainly, the older employees who've been here the longest and have earned... — read more
