In following months several legal entities (and offices) in many EU and non EU countries will be terminated, local workforce fired.
Starting with smallest ones ASAP (up to ~100 headcount).
Sales will be taken over by local partners.
Contracts (CSS, health, projects, office...) will also be terminated (with due penalties).

They just announced a 21% reduction in workforce across Spain … negotiations to start soon
@2t4 Czech, Romania and Poland will have some layoffs for now
countries with smaller offices in emea are closing and employees put on garden leave, happening this quarter.
@2sr all office to be closed in Bulgaria?? I just can’t believe…And from EMEA - what about Czech, Poland and Romania offices?
@2r1 office closing, Oracle Bulgaria will cease to exist.
All employees on garden leave from next week, we're getting similar treatment as previous layoffs.
@2kp so what heppened at this call ?
Bulgaria here, we're due tomorrow... all employees have a meeting tomorrow with hr...
@2fe
it's a separate entity with up to 10 employees, co-owned by Serbia
Isn't there an OCI region in Serbia? Who's going to maintain it if Oracle closea Serbia?
Fu-k them honestly
@2dq
This week, probably it is just the start.
We heard same will be in November in Malta, Cyprus, all baltics, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Norway and other similar size offices
@2dp when did it happen?
BiH everyone got laid off, the office is closing.
Severance is similar to previous round layoffs, I think it will be the same accross all of europe.
Is there any other relevant info about the dates, severance packages, etc.?
What's going to happen to North East under Ingrid, if all Nordics countries are closed?
@220 any news about Poland?
Per my understanding, Austria is mainly a sales org. I do wonder if it's going to be hit now, or in next phase, and what will happen to the new Central region if Austria is out.
One may wonder what is going to happen to Hungary And Czechia. Possibly, sales may be handled through Prague's mid market team (not confirmed, speculation).
@1pm source ? WoC or just guessing ?
@1p1 I think Spain second wave of layoffs was delayed and now, in Novemebr they will be hit harder (they will combine second and third waves)
What about Spain? November or next year? Or both?
@1mr
You should check with your work council representative
@1jz will there be any severance?
In first two weeks of November there will be layoffs in Europe in all countries in addition to smaller offices closures and legal entities terminations.
Austria and Poland included in those layoffs
Austria, Poland and all other with less than 1000 employees are part of phase 2.... scheduled next fiscal year
@1k6 100% will affect (
Can HR pretty please confirm the dates anonymously? The suspense is literally ki-ling us over here! 😂
What about Poland?! Anything?
What about Austria?
Now means all the procedures for termination of legal entities have already started.
When the actual termination happens depends on local legislation.
The workforce affected by this terminations will be notified of their layoffs in November.
To be clear: all employees in the country that has the legal entity terminated, will have to look for a new job.
@1jt when is now? There were some news about Luxembourg and after that nothing for other countries.
Europe closing now:
Luxembourg, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, BiH, Bulgaria, Cyprus
Portugal, Slovakia, Finland, Denmark not sure if this year or next.
For sure next year all legal entities in Europe except some of the big ones: UK, Romania, Spain, Czech R, Germany, France.
Apart from Luxembourg, does anyone know which other countries are impacted this fiscal year? Thanks!
@193 more line of products and services will be discontinued soon. Those were market share or revenue is low are the most obvious candidates
@16f they must know that closing local offices and no more LMS means loosing legacy profits, so this means they don't care.
They don't care loosing local CSS/premium support customers either.
They are betting 100% on ai datacenters.
@15q They still need legacy profits to pay for their precious data centers.
@14n this is for boosting sales, mainly AI sales... nothing else matters to O now
@11t Will partners do actual development for core products? Or it is more for sales and add-ons?
This is what the terminated legal entities in EMEA will be replaced with:

@w1 why would they negotiate with the EWC when they have a country WC? Sounds like BS.
@w7 you should work for the FBI! Hahahah. Yeah. I don’t care. Been gone for a bit. Mike su-ked. Primavera su-ked. Most incompetent mgmt in all of Oracle. Total joke. I got my money and rolled. I guess I didn’t work there though. Hahahahaha.
