It’s starting
I need to stop refreshing this board
I'd be doing myself a huge favor.
One more week starting, have been hearing the same this week, this time, huge layoffs
Will see how it goes this week
whats the exact role of mid management ?
managers with under 20 person reporting to them , should just merge with other teams .
LaaS: Layoffs-as-a-Service :)))
New innovative product from Oracle: LaaS: Layoffs-as-a-Service :)))
They are keeping The Bloated Middle that cost a lot and laying off the people actually do the work.
Looking at our current structure, it feels like the 'manager-to-grass root level employee' ratio has drifted toward an unsustainable level of middle management. multiple layers of management, which creates a 'bottleneck of consensus' rather than a... — read more
Does it start tomorrow ?
How are you mentally preparing for it ?
Start applying outside now, you don't have the laverage to negotiate salarywith the new company.
You have better bargain power for salary with your next employer if you apply outside now while you are in the current job. Not after getting layed off.
Garden leave
For the US RIFs happened over email last week, did they give garden leave ?
There is rumour that few VPs knows that their team is safe
Is it true, then list is finalized.. layoffs may start from Tuesday
Any job is better than unemployment
I know many are tempted to quit with cuts and uncertainty but unless you have something lined up, don't. Even a horrible job that pays the bills is better than unemployment at a time when job market is among the worst it's ever been. Don't make the... — read more
Silent and Slow
Started layoffs on 3/17 in US and slowly going through each org and countries. Trying to keep it silent as much as possible by only targeting one or two org per week. But yea the ultimate target to achieve will be around 30k as roumered by end of... — read more
This is no way to live
It's Saturday and all I can think about is layoffs. And it's been like this for months. I hate Oracle for this. I used to be able to enjoy life. A job shouldn't take that away from me, but here we are.
Accept the fact that Oracle will reorganize and have layoffs
I was laid off and stupid enough to come back to just go through a reorganization 6 years later and realized I was going to be let go again. I was smart enough the second time to get out before it happened. It doesn't matter what group you work for... — read more
RIF confirmed
These next two weeks will be rough, get ready guys. Some orgs in OHAI will get 30%
my team got it today, 5ppl, Riyadh
Sad, but expected. Sorry don't want to say more. 5 out of 12.
Actual News?
For people spreading fear and information always remember Karma will get back to you. There is a lot at stake for a lot of people out here. So can we please for once share any reliable information if anyone has any?
Did managers receive RIF tool access today in IDC ?
Same as Title
What is Proofpoint? Why is it not even working and slow? Why are we connecting to Microsoft to open OneDrive documents? Why is the OMA?
Everything is slow.
I'm completely indifferent
I stopped caring about this job a long time ago. At this point, the only thing I want from them is a severance check. This company isn't worth my stress, my sleep, or my health. They don't get to take that from me too.
OCI = Oracle Can't Innovate
Also-ran technology, trying to play catch-up to the market leaders, struggling to rank 5th or 6th on a field of 3. All the layoffs in the world won't save them.
Di-SaaS-ter
just saying
Have you talked with your direct Manager about the laysoffs rumours?
What is your manager saying?
What the fcuk is really happening, don't know when it will happen, everyone says it ends before March end.
They did pilot layoff on Tuesday on OCI support organisation, and that's it.. radio silence... They are rumours by end of March... Does management spread this rumor.. or directors spreading this rumor... The wait is ki-ling... Constant thinking... I... — read more

Question for people that left Oracle: is your mental health and overall health better now?
If yes, how long did it take for you to recover?
How do layoffs even pay off?
They cost a bunch right away with severance and other related stuff, and then they hire new people who might be cheaper but are less productive and sometimes need two new employees to cover what one person used to do. How does that somehow equate to... — read more
Buy the stock!
All concerns are just temp. Sales/profits are growing fast. This will offset debt over time... recent OpenAI funding reduces risk around its contract with us. Debt peaked. We are valued at 20x revenue, below averages - when we adjust to 25x the stock... — read more
Well, gas in California went up again today.
My commute to my assigned Oracle office is 81 miles each way. They are saying on the News now that the price of gas in California could climb to $15 a gallon due global politics and the largest oil refinery shutting down and leaving the state during... — read more
Oracle’s tik tok audio: The Saxophones getting louder and louder
If Oracle had a sound for what it feels like clocking in everyday- it would be the trending tik tok sound of the saxophones growing louder and louder and louder until they axe us all lmaooooooo
Oracle replacing human workforce with GPU
Interesting post on X, it's clearly not from a VP in oracle, but the numbers and sentiment in it is spot on. https://x.com/gothburz/status/2032125473199714767

Massive number of New 2026 H-1B petitions
In the middle of the “mother of all layoffs,” company is filing H-1B petitions saying they can’t find talent—makes perfect sense, right?
Morale has tanked
Most of the time when we are in the office everyone is just talking about the layoffs or speculating. Quite literally every single project we have worked on over the last 6 months has been halted, changed, changed again, and re-structured. So it’s... — read more
What's going on?
C'mon people, share credible info if you have it. Everything I've seen is all over the place. Zero communication from upstairs, which is inconsiderate and sh---y in and of itself. Many of us may not like this job, but we all need that damn paycheck... — read more
Larry: “If you are working in engineering in high cost country
And don’t do “vibe coding”, your job is at risk”
What goes around , comes around. Destined to FAIL
Healthcare org is in chronic structural decline with demoralized staff, opaque leadership, and a broken implementation pipeline. I'm getting the he-l out before layoffs hit.
