Just asking if any managers are willing to shed some light on the layoff rumors. Are you having meetings to rate everyone employee or what?

This is a genuine question, I am not trolling. Nothing I've heard so far makes any business sense.

Oracle spent on Tiktok, Oracle spending on Datacenter. Though this might facilitate Oracle in long run, its going to definitely affect a lot in the short term. Revenue ? Employees ? Waiting on March earnings report

Oracle Government, Defense and Intelligence (GDI) Federal Sales -- Any layoffs?

Why are there so many rumors about reduced packages, or people not getting one at all? I haven't heard anything concrete. Is this just conjecture, or is there a real change coming?
