Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Oracle UK Marketing team gone

Today UK Marketing teams have been informed their positions are being made redundant. Same happened to 48 people in Germany just 2 weeks ago.
Approx. 300 people will be affected in Romania and approx. 1300 in Europe overall.

This is such a competitive market and buying decisions are heavily influenced by marketing. Already the competition is outspending Oracle by 10x in marketing. After these cuts Oracle will be in a very difficult position. These old fashioned F1 or premier league sponsorships won´t really help anymore.

Decisions made without talking to anyone of consequence.

SC hates marketing.

The hatchet man tag rings true. A blunt object and a tool.

So sorry for you, but also sorry for those of us left behind. Being behind in the race means that we needed more marketing presence, not less! We are doomed to be also ran players, just too big to fail.

I’d like to know why it took them so many months to make these decisions. It’s very clear now that they didn’t do any research into who does what and the value they bring to the company. It’s completely random and leaves many of us who remain unable to do our jobs. It was hard enough trying to get things done since the RIF’s in the summer, now it’s impossible. I’ve lost all respect for the new leadership already.
