IDC disconnects from Slack right away, and here are Slack total stats for #general in Oracle One workspace across the company:
looks so far as part of normal deviation, no mass layoff happened in IDC past two days.
Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.
Regions outside IDC and NA usually have a significant delay when laid off people are disconnected from Slack (e.g. 1 month in Pacific regions, perhaps longer in some EU countries), so this is a floor estimate with additions reflected immediately, but reductions lagging behind on average.
Layoff estimates are partially part of normal attrition, but the other part of normal attrition is already hidden due to additions and removals compensate each other when they happen at the same period of time.
I will post daily in comments (if admin stops deleting my posts and comments) on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.
Slack #general shows a wopping less 7 people from 24 hours ago
Assuming that layoff happened, it may be an unrelated layoff from the mass layoffs. And a lot of other comments may be the trolls that have been pestering it here.
The #general channel barely changed from Yesterday to Today.
I see 6 less people from Yesterday in #general
@b6 That stuff USED to be posted to #watercooler, I was seeing a lot of them before I was let go. I was told they deleted that channel a week or so after I got it. Where ELSE is anyone to post about it? Heh, they SHOULD use #general, they're not going to delete that one.
#general ..... it can't be unsubscribed .... no change there yet.

Not sure where my previous post disappeared. Will try again: I will be out till Mar21. Please somebody keep posting sometimes during next week total count on #general Slack channel of Oracle One workspace. Specifically that thread and that workspace.
If "somebody" starts making wild claims on large total swings - please always doublecheck yourself.

I will be out till Mar21, so I would be very grateful is somebody can sometime post current count on #general of Oracle One Slack workspace.
If somebody starts posting some wild Slack stats, please always check for yourself, and especially keep in mind that was tracking only #general channel totals for Oracle One workspace, not news channel or something, not smaller workspaces. I wouldn't be able to post anything till Mar21 starting now.
@af you are lying troll, there were no layoffs today across the globe
Slack totals of #general participants in Oracle One workspace. They reflect India and North America layoffs pretty much immediately within 30 minutes after RIF call. So as at this moment, all 1-on-1 calls claimed by our mentally re--rded troll already supposed to happen in IDC and NA locations on both coasts. They didn't.

@ez
Looks like regular attrition past 2-3 months, in comparison to actual mass lay-offs aug-oct:

Since our local troll started counterfeiting Slack totals to induce panic on the front page, I have to create this thread not waiting for March.

P.S. Happy New Year!
@OP And yet they have a ton of openings posted on their web site.
I know there is a freeze in some organizations (manager friends have told me when I asked if they had openings), they ARE hiring in others. The person who posts headcount changes here based on Slack's #general membership shows headcount deleted and headcount added.
All this makes me wonder how much longer O is even going to be around.

I think they're replacing everyone. They seem to be hiring almost as fast as they are laying off, judging from the #general slack numbers being posted.
Exactly. They are loading up for the next RIF.

A difference on 50 employees in #general sounds like normal turnover for Oracle

I will be tracking October as well, but may be with fewer checkpoints - will depend on the pace of EMEA layoffs expected on October and more importantly how fast they are reflected in Slack.
