Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

I (CSS - UK) am one of those who’re impacted during the previous big wave.

I received a 1-1 call (business update) invitation from my manager on 27 April, had a call to be notified that I’m at risk of redundancy on 28 April, and were on a garden leave until 31 May.

If it’ll follow the same pattern (one month after the US), the next UK round might be in mid-October.

However, some people that I know were let go outside that wave since then until now too. So it might not hit as a big wave but randomly by LoB.

The UK process is for you to be first told that you are at risk of redundancy. There is then a consultation period at the end of which you are made redundant with immediate effect if your redundancy is confirmed. The legal minimum length of the period depends on the number of people being made redundant in the UK, see gov.uk for details.

Last year the consultation period started in the middle of November and finished in early January. This was a bit longer that the minimum, possibly due to Christmas.

Any UK or EMEA RIF will require a consultation period so nobody will get a 6am email and immediate termination of access.

There's nothing you can do apart from prepare your own situation so that a layoff isn't an immediate catastrophe.

What about Romania and Poland?

I’ve heard early to mid October but no confirmed date yet (not that we’ll get one!)
