In an effort to float their books, Oracle is even more desperate than usual. Layoffs are not the only means they are using to sink this company further into the 3rd world order.
As of May 18, 2022, Oracle has capped your annual allotted sick time to 72 hours, after which you must either burn vacations days, or take unpaid time off, or apply for short term disability if you can qualify.
However, the pain doesn't stop there. Short term disability has also been trimmed severely. Previously STD provided up to 12 weeks at full pay, now it is reduced to 8 weeks @ full + 4 weeks at 60%.
