This is the lowest slack count its been in months. Even if they don't do mass layoffs, Oracle is definitely trending downward. I'm on a development team for a business unit piloting even more AI automation tools. End to end autonomous development is the direction Oracle wants to move to! From AI lunch and learns it appears like they even want POs to write requirements and acceptance criteria that is fed into AI + governance systems which will deliver POCs if not fully compliant features into legacy systems without engineers directly involved

Well, below 148000 now. It definitely started
@ad
And right now 159445 lol
Since Aug 2025 it has only been positive twice and those two times it was for less than 250 people each time. It is not a good trend. It is a steady exodus even between the big layoffs. The target is probably well below 100K.
150340 now
Anyone who is training the Ai, feeding the Ai is laid off next rounds.
If you are using chatgpt you could be on the next layoffs rounds.
this guy gets it
it dropped yesterday, it's not moving at the moment.
however, indeed it's the lowest for the past several years
