@e7 I’m surprised Oracle still has an customer success at all. I used to be in customer success in Oracle. It was a complete mess cause the people who started it were so incompetent and flew by the seat of their pants. The UK CS folks had zero tech or app experience. I am actually surprised they hung on this long. Oracle CS is for interns. That’s their skill level.

@e0 I don’t think, knowing who they let go, that’s a great analogy at all

But feel free to comment with glib observations when the situation hasn’t impacted you personally. Yet

@dz lots of good folks too looking for jobs right now. See it as a yearly pool backwash, sometimes it's good to flush the old water out.

@a9 yeah, whether you’re busy or not Larry doesn’t care - he’s chasing the AI money to fund more purchases or media companies and turn them into right wing mouthpieces and to fund the IDF - turns out he’s not a very nice guy at all

He has no interest in quality delivery or customer support - you honestly cannot expect the company to function with so many good people being let go. But he doesn’t care

@OP It likely means your role is in scope of "downsizing".

However, UK employment rules mean you should get some time to clarify the situation rather than a 6am "thank you for your service" email and a swift revocation of your access .... and RSUs.

@a6 I lost my access to everything less than a half hour after that Business Update call. I got full pay and benefits until the end of garden leave, but no access. I was working remote, so didn't try my badge - I can't imagine that would have worked

I’m very sorry to hear that. During the call, your line manager will pretty much read from the script and will ask for your personal email address to send you documents.

You won’t lose your access immediately (at least until the end of gardening leave - one month for me).

You’ll lose access to Slack and your badge will be inactive within next 24-48 hrs. If you have left anything in your locker at the office, I would recommend you going to grab it first (Although you can request for a visitor badge).

Al the best!
