Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Laid off after decades here. This is the worst feeling—it's hard to process. It seems completely self-defeating to lay off developers while keeping others who don’t add real value. Developers are now officially extinct in the US.

I should have seen this coming, especially with all the knowledge transfer sessions and the shift in management location to IDC.

It started in CX How many of you are impacted?

Let the hunger games begin in US.

How many in US laid off in this round ?

Are Hiring managers criminally liable if they falsely certify that no US citizen was available when they hired the H1B ? Worse if that hired H1B is friend or family ?

Regression chasers certify the release, then blame developers when it breaks — true masters of the blame game! Time to lay them off before they confuse the process even more.

Take screenshots of your org. Trend before and after will confirm all biases.

Diversity Trivia: What is the ratio of Indians to Rest ?

True CX is all Indians.

"Revoke all H1bs now. "

There will be no one left in the org.

CNN: 150 job applications, rescinded offers: Computer science grads are struggling to find work.

Revoke all H1bs now. Cannot justify this nonsense. US kids are struggling.

I have always enjoyed working with d-mb managers. They will always keep you safe during layoffs as the hand that feeds them.

Lutnick followed up on X calling the current H-1B system “a scam that lets foreign workers fill American job opportunities”. “Hiring American workers should be the priority of all great American businesses.

There is no justice, its just profit or power. J epstn files!!!

‘How can it be justified to layoff US citizens with 20 - 30 years of experience and filing H1Bs and Green Card petitions for aliens ?’

It is an easy peasy decision.

H1bs live in a constant fear of layoffs and 60 days to leave the country in case that happens.

collecting logs from customer environments with 150k salary

Seems easy money, isn't it but also a career ki-ler in tech, isn't it

status seekers get impacted...

Never. I have seen 15+ years of layoff at CX. Lickers and group politics win over everything else. Since I was not one of them I got laid off as well.

Newsweek report

Amid mass layoffs at major tech firms, the companies are now facing allegations of bypassing hiring rules in mandatory local newspaper job ads. Regulations require these roles to be offered first to US-born workers.

How can it be justified to layoff US citizens with 20 - 30 years of experience and filing H1Bs and Green Card petitions for aliens ?

US citizens will be laid off if H1bs exist on the same team for no skill jobs ?

H1Bs collecting logs from customer environments with 150k salary. Damn. Luckiest folks on the planet considering talented OCI folks getting laid off. Need an AI agent for that immediately.

Should H1Bs be laid off first especially in low skill/no skill jobs of support and devops before laying off US citizens ? Or the companies do not care about Trump and Vance directives.

With layoffs again hitting us, will these status seekers get impacted ? An entire org filled with status seekers with no real productive work !!!!

AWS laid off 40% Devops with automation. We can do better.

Why does Ops even exist in the age of AI? They will never automate themselves out of the job. The entire org needs to be dismantled.

Is this the end of CX and this thread ?

Neither. I have been in CX for almost 17 years and have seen many CX exec come and go. Nothing changed except the filth grew larger.

True. Not many left except management to be the target.

Non core groups like marketing and support roles can be targeted. Besides that little change

Yes RT gone. Org changes coming soon.

Get ready for another slow targeted layoffs across CX.

Is RT gone?

Will miss RT. Is this the end of CX and this thread ? When will we know.

Org Changes ?
Performance Reviews ?
Product team redundancies in Support, Devops, Program Managers.

"sense of humanity"

Asking a little too much ?

I'm really frustrated with the work culture at CX. It feels like the place is run by a bunch of incompetent people who just "accept" any S H I T from top without any real thought.

The management is filled with cowards who avoid confrontation and honesty. It doesn't matter their gender or race; if they're in management, they seem to lack the backbone to make tough decisions or communicate effectively.

My career at CX has been a huge mistake, and I can confidently say that the people running my division were some of the worst I've ever encountered. I sometimes wonder if they even have a sense of humanity. The communication during my time there was abysmal, almost none.

How do I overcome my regret for working so long here?

If you join back ORCL within an year, you would be joining on the same salary and would have to return part of the compensation received.

"Surprised to receive a letter to apply back to the same position in CX I was laid off from."

when were you laid off ? Negotiate hard for sure.

Surprised to receive a letter to apply back to the same position in CX I was laid off from.

WTF is this? First lay off then ask to re-join on the same position??? Anyone else???

Someone posted this another thread. Enjoy.

Fun fact.

our department in CX hasn't hired a single person for the past 3 years and gradually fired around 70%. now we are forced doing production support over weekends and public holidays in addition to our regular development work.

Same thing with Ajay's line. VP > VP > VP. 3 VPs for every 1 support engineer. Disgusting.

"Yes IC5 for almost 10+ years."

This seems self defeating. what logic is to have Program Managers, Middle Management, Product Management and all the paperwork personnel?
