Tech role. Anyone test the waters in the job market yet?
racle could probably reduce California staff more quickly issuing much more Performance Improvement Plans and lesser Lay-off notices
Not many employees can pass Performance Improvement Plan, and they can be out the sooner than employees given a 60 day layoff notice.
Q1 is here. When do firings start again?
First week or later in June after reorg dust settles?
Sales quotas as a means to persuade people to leave
I have been a employee of Oracle for 10+ years in Asia Pacific - many jurisdictions in APAC have failry strong labour/labor laws. Sales targets have over the past 2-3 years increased substantially, to the point one could reasonably claim employee... — read more

Any news for Spain?
SNOW and DATB will cause problems !
The ORCL DP Dinosaur Bones and 22% a year support is being exposed.
Is it just me
or does it feel like policies and procedures change on a daily basis?

Core VP & SVP skills?
Just curious what the board thinks. Playing politics and maneuvering the convoluted organizational structures come to mind. A bit ruthlessness and narcissism helps too. What I noticed is that most of them like to hear sound of their own voice, I... — read more
stock still very low
time to replace our good old CTO. He is old and not performing optimal. He should be fired!!!!

I've perfected low effort
No raises and no promotions for years, so now I do the bare minimum and they get exactly what they pay for.
Paradox: we increased productivity 5 times, but salaries continue to shrink?
How is this possible?
Most Oracle managers are, IMHO, largely incompetent.
That's the post.
RIF Victims - spend your entire 2026 FSA amount
Make sure you spend the entire amount you set up for your FSA account in 2026 before your end date. Oracle legally can't do a thing about it. https://legalclarity.org/irs-fsa-rules-for-terminated-employees/
Anyone still think this job is good for your career?
I don't. Paycheck aside, given the job market, it's a waste of time.
COBRA
Does anyone know how/where COBRA payments are made once our insurance transitions? My garden leave ends in June 1 and I really don’t want O decimating my final payout for the COBRA.
When's the last time you received a raise?
Asking for a friend.
We need to start leaving reviews on Glassdoor
Actual, truthful reviews. Too many of them paint a picture that's anything but true, so I'm guessing HR is hard at work to fix the company's image. Take a few minutes and post a real review over there, so people who're considering Oracle know what... — read more
Oracle further layoff analysis
Oracle has just scratched the surface with its 10% layoff and showed some positivity with its operational performance in layoff. Its operational performance is still weak. Its trying to show the investors that it is high tech or growth stock. But... — read more
Anyone NOT take the severance/sign the agreement?
Curious if anyone during any round of these layoffs did not take the severance and sign the separation agreement and if so, what happened and where do you stand now?
Focal
Thoughts on yearly self review. Is it pointless? We have been told no raises again, so is it to continue to weed employees out. Not new to Oracle 13 years some great, some awful. Just trying to pay my bills while looking for something new.. Peace... — read more
When OpenAI fails/declares bankruptcy, Oracle goes with it?
OpenAI failing is a mathematical certainty, what happens to Oracle as a result? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J2M15bD2o4g
Brainstorm for Yourself, Not for Oracle Clowns
From my experience at Oracle... Stop sharing your big ideas or new project concepts with management. Most of them honestly don’t understand the real technical depth behind the work. They rarely join brainstorming sessions or real idea discussions... — read more

ClickUp - Layoff Memo and Million Dollar Comp

Layoffs yesterday
I've heard some people were cut, does anybody have details on what happened? And most importantly, is it done?
WebLogic not dead? LOL...
WebLogic 26? Fusion Middleware 27? Who is left to build any of this? Will it all just be AI slop? https://blogs.oracle.com/fusionmiddlewaresupport/oracle-fusion-middleware-statement-of-direction-is-now-available
The way I see things...
I worked as a developer in the Fusion Middleware area, first on the on-premise tools and later on Oracle Cloud. My experience at Oracle was extremely negative. I believe a large part of that was because I am female, honest, and a highly competent... — read more
COBRA - Meta 18m vs Oracle 1m
Layoff email from Meta says: Payment of COBRA (health insurance) premiums for you and your family (if they are dependents on your current plan) for 18 months. From my friend I heard, Oracle is just paying 1m .
Stock based layoffs
Did we notice a pattern here in all tech layoffs ? lot of 1-3 year experienced who got joining stocks or stocks at executive range are thrown out. Same happened with Oracle and now with Meta. We all know Oracle was faking around the hikes and... — read more
New manager already said not to expect salary increase in the coming P. review. This will be the 6th year hearing this same massage....
Oh well, two previous managers said the same then happened a reorg, then the next manager said the same, then another reorg, now the new manager says the same. No Focal for a 6 years in a row.
You can't have it both ways
All the wellness messaging in the world doesn't mean much when people are stressed about possible layoffs. Nothing says healthy workplace culture quite like anxiety, rumors, and employees wondering if they are on the next list.
Meta severance far better than what Oracle provided
16 weeks base salary 2 weeks per year worked 18 months of healthcare I haven't heard anything on how they are handling RSUs. I know Cisco accelerated RSU vesting through August. Oracle seems to be the new low in employee severance.
What's happening in October?
In the title.
Oracle SK has started
24 fired, 84 stays
