**My predictions for Dec layoffs

I have ZERO insider info, this is my 2c only based on my gut feeling.... Haven't heard anything from HR or upper mgmt. This based on what's been happening lately and how Oracle operates (or at least how I see it operate).

I think another RIF is coming in December, likely before the holidays. Wouldn't be surprised if its a pretty significant one either.

My guesses:

Fusion Apps will get hit again, especially M5+ and middle mgmt. Too many mgrs and directors with 1 two 2 ICs reporting to them. Some with nobody lol.
Data Platform could see cuts. Hard to justify some of these teams when the numbers aren't there.
Cloud orgs not directly tied to OCI/AI growth are probably at risk too.
More reorgs, positions eliminated, teams consolidated. Same old Oracle.

We are betting EVERYTHING on AI infrastructure right now. All that money going into data centers has to come from somewhere. My feeling is they'll keep pouring billions into OCI while squeezing the rest of the org.

I've seen people mention 10% cuts between Nov and Jan. No idea if thats accurate but wouldn't shock me.

Again, NO inside knowledge here. Just connecting the dots and going with my gut.

Thoughts? Who's getting hit and how much.

Who cares

In fusion, just combine all the pillar code branches and 80% of the org can be freed to do more productive work.

This nonsense have been going on for too long. All the friends and family have been collecting paychecks for last 30 years by building silos and processes that only helps employ more non productive

@cw sure they can....some of them are former ICs and should have stayed that way. Was stupid idea upgrade them to mngs

Everyone is a director. We don’t have managers in my org.

Why comment if you don't have fu-k all knowledge

The cost is coming from price gouging based on the hype. No one among the debtors are questioning this because they are enriching themselves personally even as their corporations and bag-holders incur that debt. People are just collateral.

@ab the M-Levels cant be converted to ICs. They dont have the skills.

@ab They should be converted to ex-employees.

They’re going to again lay off the staff who actually do the work and keep the bloated layers of high pay directors and managers. it's over for Oracle.

@OP @OP Turkey trimming is almost here. A lot of them already have 'planned vacations' It takes time to select criteria/analyze each peon and document 'justification' Time goes on, planned ahead, not much we can do except wait for an ax number.

The issue of administrative expansion at Oracle often moves beyond middle management directly into the Director, Senior Director, and Vice President layers. This executive "title inflation" impacts both internal corporate agility and Oracle Fusion ERP/HCM customer deployments

Like the part "Fusion Apps will get hit again, especially M5+ and middle mgmt. Too many mgrs and directors with 1 two 2 ICs reporting to them. Some with nobody lol."
It's so true! Why are they there? Should be converted into ICs ,period

This will be a buy out a la Microsoft. No, the offer will not be generous.

Thx! Nice to have a constructive post for a change.
