Say what you want, but I like that we got a heads-up about these cuts, even if it caused weeks (months) of stress. I got lucky and am still here, but if I had been affected, at least I would’ve been ready. If it had been a sudden announcement, I’m... — read more
My manager seemed shocked that I was laid off
Yeah, right. There’s no way he didn’t know or wasn’t at least involved somehow. I can buy that he wasn’t the final decision maker, but I call bullsh-t on him not even knowing.

Age discrimination?
It does seem like, on average, older more experienced people were laid off. Anyone else notice this? Our group is half gone, and it's ALL the older folks - I'm not talking really old, just over 40.
Just in case you're still unsure it's over
several hours ago our VP in Fusion told it to remaining group of people from NA, IDC, EU locations that it's done and those who are on the call are safe for now. I've heard of a few such cases where folks were informed by their managers/VPs/SVPs... — read more
Slack glitches the day before Layoff
I noticed my slack errored out 2 or 3 times and gave a glitchy alphanumeric coded white screen the day before the axe came down. I wondered if the system was doing a dry run and if anyone else noticed the same thing? First time it ever did that and... — read more

Should be 50k pluss
After 20+ years at Oracle, no one is exempt from cuts. Realistically, they’re doing many a favor. The company is bloated at 160K employees—I’ve long said it could shed 50K with zero impact. Next should be VPs, directors, accountants, and especially... — read more

You’ve got to give it to Oracle
It’s not easy pulling off cutting 30k people in a single day. I’d almost call it impressive. If only they were that good at other things, like figuring out how to improve the bottom line without laying off that many people. You know, which should be... — read more

Are ICs paid until the end of the notice period on April 10th or just eligible for benefits?
The wording is a bit vague, "you will remain an oracle employee until 4/10" and "Your benefits will continue through 4/10". Given that ICs fill out pay slips, I'm unsure if this means I am being paid until 4/10, or my benefits are active until then...
