Why am I only seeing people who've been here for at least a decade but most for almost two posting they were laid off? Has leadership completely given up on trying to hide age discrimination?

Yes 17th a. It should be against the law . I hope Oracle falls on there a-s with AI and Larry Ellison goes to Heck!!!
@ab congrats on the retirement even if it wasn’t by choice - I hope to get there one day too
Maybe they have realized what an absolute toxic environment they have caused with the salary disparities so they are laying off the older workers.
@a2 yes make it make sense, been like that for awhile at this company though. They will RIF someone who has been there a long time (> than 10 years) and knows the product area inside and out, they will then hire a new young worker with no Oracle experience for 50%++ higher the salary.
All ages and seniority.
Not yet in any media??
How are staff being notified?
@ab which team?
Just got notified by multiple attendee Zoom call, looks like entire team may have gotten the axe. 68 yrs old with 7 1/2 years time served. Good news is Ive decided to retire so I'll take whatever $ they're offering and go relax
@a3 Austin BDR here. Been perusing all weekend waiting to see the impact. Aaaand yep. I got hit. Young people lurk too!
It wasn't all old timers, I heard someone from my former team got hit, was hired less than a year ago. Of course, I had to hear second hand because I was an old fa-t tossed in the June layoffs.
Tech industry doesn’t like dinosaurs
@a2 no raise in 20 years? Your full of it…
At least a few people from my team got let go and they were ages 20s-30s and less than 5 years at Oracle.
Three people with over a decade of experience were let go here in US
I just heard one of ours has gone. He's mid to late 60's
@OP nope a ton of BDRs fresh out of college were laid off. My guess is they don’t spend time on these forums
How do older workers cost more? They don’t give us raises. They cost the same as they cost when they were hired 20 years ago. When factoring in inflation, they cost the company less and provide more experience than younger workers.
$$$ older workers cost more…
