My friend got laid off there after a long stint there....ACS is a toxic environment with favoritism and tribalism all over the place. Maybe its all of Oracle..if your director likes you are good, otherwise watch out. Great place for women managers... — read more 

What's the next thing we can try to buy and either fail or succeed and then destroy it?

So I admit it. I s—. I have been at Oracle almost 10 yrs. it was good at first, but about 5 years ago we took on a half hearted cloud strategy. Each year after that things got progressively worse. The very best people started to leave then. Some... — read more

Sounds like an uptick in the HW side of the business. Wonder if Oracle will start to hire people back to update SPARC given the market opportunity. Oracle Cloud sounds ready to explode.

The OCS Delivery headcount just got re-org'd from AM's OCS team to the Cloud Engineering team. Sounds like they're going to be supporting free App migration services with every lift & shift deal. AM now only has the OCS Sales function, but he... — read more 

I have heard a couple of rumors that hundreds of people will be layoff in old OMCS (OCI). it was suppose to be happen in march already but delay and put into quaters (next part is scheduled next week). Nobody cares of projects seems so and load... — read more 

With a simple magic touch, Oracle can turn a loyal, but unstructured gathering of SC, and turn them, almost overnight, into Cloud Engineers. Just change their title! And not to stop there, with anothet simple word, convert them to make them the... — read more 

Good earnings at the cost of many Cloud Engineers? CEs are struggling due to bad Q4 bonus and discouragement of overtime. That’s a huge loss of income.

Can somebody please explain to me how is it that attrition is as bad as it's ever been (and it's been really bad for a few years now) in the middle of a freaking pandemic? Where are all those people going to? Is there a secret employer I don't know... — read more 

hiring people after each RIF? Is this the way to scare employee? If you are good enough or dumb enough, stay. Otherwise, leave?

How much rise you got in July?

Is there anyone left is this little company Oracle purchased several years ago? Talk about terrible service to dealer channel and customers....

was laid off . Working in EBS. Best of luck

AH left very suddenly. Details?

I've heard Oracle Apps (specifically things like Oracle HCM Cloud) are actually doing very well. Are they any particularly safe places in Oracle where you're more likely to avoid layoffs?

would explain the OD folks on this board. my guess is it will happen this month, since end of quarter is thanksgiving, etc.

Both are faced with delays. It would be interesting to see who breaks the barriers first. Cloud Engineering has been left without OT for over six month now with huge income loss.

I’m getting real tired of all the fake calls and interaction everyone is doing. Why can’t leadership crack down on this? I’m mad that I actually do my job and put in real numbers yet it seems like everyone else is just faking call stats and emails to... — read more 

I work in Oracle Cloud Apps. Got made redundant this morning. My manager wouldn't tell me how many other people are going but its a "significant" number.

A new month. A new quarter. What will it bring?

Seems like most of the layoffs recently have come in the OCI area or more on-premises products. From what I've heard, the SaaS/Applications side has been doing very well. Can anyone let me know if there have been a lot of layoffs recently to the... — read more 

So they were going to sell TikTok without the CEO's knowledge? Things must really be messed up there. Any idea what happened there and what could happen next? There are some sources who say that the CEO's exit indicates that a deal, likely a sale to... — read more

Layoffs in Finance , first time I heard that at O. Things must be bad if finance team are laying off

stocks are all time high.

Until he’s 80yo ? Some believe LE will live forever.

I want to clear something up. LE absolutely did NOT buy Sun because of its HW biz. He knew that traditional biz was in decline and not salvageable. In fact, HE was in part responsible for the elimination of one of sun’s highest margin markets. For... — read more 

This is the only thing that matters: Of course for all this wonderful new cloud stuff to sustain itself, you need to convince someone to actually purchase it. When can we look forward to that happening? When can we look forward to the cloud... — read more
