"Oracle Layoffs are intense.

• Entire orgs are getting blindsided.

Cloud, Comms/Marketing, Engineering, Ops, Sales
Directors, ICs, even SVPs - all levels.

Remote and in-office. Top performers. Doesn’t matter.
People with 7, 13, 18, 20+ years at Oracle… gone!!

I was told- If you got the email for saying 'Project Updates' - that’s the bait.

You join the call.
An HR rep read a statement.
Access cut within 5 minutes.
Laptop wiped. That’s it.

• Some management didn’t even know.
• RIF decisions weren’t made by your manager.
• Not even your manager’s manager.

People found out their reports were laid off AFTER the fact... then they got cut next.

SaaS execs were reportedly told:
“Cut 10–12% of workforce by end of year.”

And yes, I'm being told some H-1B workers are being impacted as well.

This morning:

• SVPs laid off
• Longtime employees ghosted by leadership
• 1/3 of some teams already gone"

==============================================================

Oracle stock down almost $20 in the last week.

Thank you.

Any idea on applying for oracle open positions after yesterday's layoff? Will they consider?

I got effected yesterday and planning to apply for Oracle open positions along with outside jobs.

Well… got my “organisational update” email in the calendar. Looks like that’s all she wrote. It’s been a wild ride but it’s time for a new chapter. Am going to miss all the great people who I’ve worked with. But I think I’m leaving at a time when it’s going to be no fun being at Dell. Swings and roundabouts. Hope Dell finds its way again.

Sep 02 layoffs estimate for the 24 hours: 3430 jobs lost

Methodology: $general slack channel participants count change. So those are people who lost access right away.

Insider, any word on when the next round of layoffs will be?

How the he-l do I even start a job search after two decades? I was convinced I'd retire here. I was given zero indications that I wasn't safe. I gave Oracle my all for so long and this is how they repay me.

Yea layoff are going around. 8/1/2025

Layoffs coming. Also some bs called harmony where peoples title gets knocked down a level or two.

Hello, has anyone in OCI been impacted by the most recent layoffs (09/02) ? Is today the last round for all of Oracle?

I keep telling myself to stop thinking about it, but I can’t. I’m scared for my job and what’s coming. Haven’t even told my family yet, I don’t want to put this weight on them too. I just hope somehow this ends okay, for me and for everyone who’s about to lose their job. Not feeling very optimistic, but I’m still hanging on to a bit of hope.

VP sends email to team stating working at Dell is a privilege. Work like your a$$ is on fire. He just laid off a team

Anyone have any idea about who will be targeted by the layoffs?

Can someone PLEASE confirm if Tracey was let go? I'm trying to find just one piece of good news related to Walgreens these days.

Today is 29 Aug 2025 and it Just ended (like a lot of other US employees) my 4 year journey at bp.

At this time i would like to thank the CEO, board members, EVPs, SVPs, and other members of the executive team for destroying careers of a lot of hardworking and people smarter then them. Also, thanks to the executive team for running this company to the ground and failing to own upto their mistakes or having any accountability for their decisions that has got the company to its current state. Additional thank you for continuing to collect your bonuses without any meaningful sacrifices while laying off workers with fraction of your salaries. You all must be very of yourselves for doing a tremendous job destroying the company value while destroying people's livelihoods. You all deserve bonus Energize points. Kudos!

What happens if you are laid off while on leave? How do they notify you?

Good luck everyone. I was part of the 1% who got laid off today. I was expecting a re-org but the layoff was very unexpected. I still believe in Nike, and hope to come back.

Are layoffs over or will there be more today?

Less than 1% will be cut.

Keep a close eye on your inbox.

At least for now, anyway.

In Hillsboro we’ve been hearing several lay off dates from different departments October 2, 15, 29. Sounds inconsistent but people are saying their managers confirmed this information… any one else hear this?

Just letting everyone know, the planning is underway. I've seen multiple things come through my email. Oct is going to su-k. I can't say more because I like my pay check and I'm sure it will be gone soon enough.

This is general information, not legal advice. Please consult a lawyer. Many employment lawyers will do a free consultation and only charge a fee if they win your case.

If you’re 40 or older and asked to sign a severance agreement that waives age discrimination claims, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) requires that you be given enough time to consider it — 21 days for individual separations and 45 days if it’s part of a group layoff. You must also have 7 days after signing to revoke your acceptance. In a group layoff, the company is additionally required to disclose the job titles and ages of employees selected and not selected in the same decisional unit, so you can evaluate whether older workers were disproportionately affected.

If you already accepted and are over 40 you still have 7 days to withdrawal. If the company does not allow for the required review period then you may still have the option for legal recourse.

Below is an email script to use to document important information to protect your rights.

If the company responds with “Please see the FAQs,” acknowledge that you are aware of the FAQs and would like a direct response to your situation in this email.

I acknowledge receipt of the separation notice effective [date]. Before I take any next steps, I would appreciate some clarification.

Specifically, could you please provide:

1.  Whether positions with my current title still exist at the company, or if the role is being eliminated entirely.
2.  An explanation of the criteria used in selecting me for separation.
3.  Any policies or documents that explain how severance eligibility is being handled.
4.  Information about how these decisions are being applied across my department or job group.
5.  Since the notice provides less than 45 days to consider the severance agreement, could you clarify why that timeframe was chosen?

I want to ensure I fully understand the process and my options. Thank you for helping provide this information so I can move forward thoughtfully.

It happened today. 253 people laid off.

But I feel relieved. What truly hurts is when companies don’t have a backbone to take the accountability on themselves and put the blame on you. Well, such companies are not a place to work for anyways.

Rec Room calls the job cuts a 'business necessity based on the financial trajectory of the company.'

Wishing good luck to everyone.

If getting laid off next week, when will the invites get sent out ?

Does anyone with access to the layoff calendar know when the next round of layoffs is happening?

About a dozen FSP CRA’s were laid of in the US today. They mentioned that some people managers were also let go.

In September there will a massive change in S&T - layoffs… Data Product Management teams and DPA will combine which will create layoffs… others will be affected… hold on to your butts..

97 more were just added to the Arizona WARN page...Now we wait

Myself and the rest of my team (except one person, somehow) have been laid off. For those who remain, I offer the same advice I give people when dating – when someone shows you who they really are, listen to them.

I personally know one guy laid off today. Risk modeling.

Class action law firm Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating eBay for potential WARN Act violations related to recent mass layoff at subsidiary TCGPlayer.

eBay announced the layoff on May 22nd, cutting over 200 jobs at the warehouse in Syracuse, NY and finally bringing an end to the first union in eBay history as authentication operations were moved to a new facility in Kentucky.
