I don’t mean any disrespect to those who lost their jobs... I’ve just gone numb by now.

These layoffs were not about young vs old
Some people keep trying to make it an age thing but it’s not. We’re all in the same boat. The divide is between us and the execs who make the calls. They’re playing with our livelihoods while all of us are just trying to get through the week and... — read more

Here's the bit that irks me...
I'm a long service employee and have seen a few RIFs in my time - in fact someone from HR told me that the most common reason for leaving Oracle is being laid off. So we know it comes with the territory. Sadly we also know that there are people... — read more

There’s no break from the tension. I can barely focus at work, and I can’t really rest once I’m home. This could drag on for weeks, maybe months. No one can function anywhere near normal under these circumstances.

I regret working for Oracle!!!!
What was the point of working hard, getting a good review, caring about your customers, and adding value, only to be let go while performing better than others? Totally absurd, thank you Oracle I can move to something better.
Job market
Is it really as bad as people are saying? I've been looking for the past few days and there are plenty of good positions available, which confused me. Are these real or are they just placeholders?
Does the WARN act apply to flex employees?
I was not remote, but flex and had to go to the office 3 days a week and use a flex workspace. Would WARN apply in my case?

10% layoff this year, means more again
As thought process is machines will replace engineers and more focus towards AI enablement this year, which means more cuts next year 🤔
Are the already affected departments even safe?
Doubt it, but I guess we’re supposed to “hope”.
Offshore meetings, discussions and sharing of work
In some cases, the operational decisions made by Oracle directors are completely baffling. They have this pattern of reassigning projects from their U.S. and European employees to offshore teams, which consistently creates major friction. Initially... — read more

Whats going on ?
The company's completely silent. Management was told to just hold the status quo, no new plans. Honestly, I'm just going through the motions now that my VP is gone. We talked about all my career goals, and now he's not around. I'm really not sure... — read more
Should I take a position at a lower pay?
