They want us to quit

It has never been this clear. The constant stress, the worrying, the intentional withholding of information, all of it feels designed to push people to the edge until they finally say fu-k it and quit. If they can get enough people to simply walk away, it saves them a lot of money. At this point, it is hard not to think that this is part of the plan.


The list of better options

I've started making a list of jobs I'd rather do than stay here. Stocking shelves overnight. Washing dishes at a diner. Answering complaints for a utility company. All of them sound amazing compared to one more shift in this place. That's where I'm at right now.


Restructuring Plan increased from $1.6bn to $2.1bn. $1.1bn in layoffs guaranteed in Q4

Check the 10-Q
ORCL has increased the budget for restructuring
Look at https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001341439/751a926c-6f62-4baf-8f51-80cbcafdc616.pdf and search for "Restructuring Plan"

$982m has been spent from a budget of $2,103

That means over $1.1bn will be spent on restructuring (layoffs) in Q4.

The storm is coming


Layoff number for the rest of 2026

Has the Q1 round of layoffs wrapped up? Are we expecting another round at the end of Q2? What’s the full-year target for layoffs, and how many have already been cut so far? I only saw media mention 1,000 in January, but no numbers for March or the rest of the year. Any clarity?

I received a layoff notice on Monday

I want to know if I will be pushed out the door before my last day with pay for 60 days. My official last day stated on my layoff notice is 60 days from Monday. I also want to know if there is any chance they will take back layoff notice and keep me around.


You are all in denial if you don't think layoffs are going to happen at Oracle. With that being said your best option is to

resign from your boring Oracle jobs and pack it all up and move yourself to West Virginia and apply to Coal miners' jobs there. Every coal mine is West Virginia is hiring coal miners right now. These jobs pay high wages and offer excellent benefits, and you can work all the overtime you want to work. You get to work with some pretty cool equipment as a coal miner. The only problem is you have to pass a mandatory and random dr-g tests. Let's face the music about that because a lot of you at Oracle, especially Gen Z's aren't going to pass a dr-g test even if you are d-mb enough to try and fake it.


Is this legal?

My role was eliminated in the last RIF wave with a term date of 2/6. I was told it was due to cost pressures and not performance as I have always had high performance ratings but did unfortunately need a couple medical leaves last year. However, LESS than 20 calendar days later, my exact role was posted internally at one grade level lower. I still had my work laptop in my possession and hadn't received my severance check. The role is now posted externally. Is this even legal? I'm wondering if I have a case to call employee relations due to retaliation.

Please be kind in your responses, this is traumatic enough.

Wells Fargo Employee Replacement Pool?

I realize this site is a minute fraction of total active employee count, but I have an idea...

Wells needs to have a replacement pool. It would be made-up of laid-off people who are willing to return and swap-in for one of the worthless, retained people Wells truly needs to get rid of.

You would return with years of service, future severance based on prior years of service, prior earned annual PTO days, 401k matching, etc. Salary would be negotiable. People who actually want to work and who are truly competent,

I think I need to pitch this to Wells.

Cordani and Evanko town hall

I’m still trying to unpack that strange farewell town hall Cordani threw for himself.

How could neither DC nor BE acknowledge the layoffs that happened less than 1 week prior to this event and that are still ongoing?

I don’t even know what I expect from this conversation. I think I just need to know that everyone else thinks it was eff’d up and awesomely tone deaf.


Layoff running totals based on Slack

Tracking participants count #general Slack channel in Oracle One workspace, as the fastest available proxy indication of ongoing layoffs.

  • mar01-mar10: 395 layoffs, and 358 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • feb01-feb28: 943 layoffs, and 1143 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • jan01-jan31: 1604 layoffs, and 1834 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • dec01-dec31: 1031 layoffs, and 844 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • nov01-nov30: 1614 layoffs, and 1327 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • oct01-oct31: 2504 layoffs, 1762 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
  • aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
  • aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports)

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 on the count change and running current month total while this post is still on the first page.
