What do you think?
Have the layoffs in Australia and NZ been running in parallel?
Or are they about to hit this week? It’s so hard to keep track. My team in NZ hasn’t been affected yet, but that doesn’t really mean much.
Your Voice Survey
Your voice survey link was sent me for the yearly employee survey. I really have mixed feelings about giving real honest feedback. Leadership knows who doesn't fill out the survey and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who has... — read more
It's Not You, It's Your Job
Back in the day, people got laid off and then hired back. It was a worker shuffle. A new person would join while another left, but the top brass always stayed because the product wasn't going anywhere. Today, In AI era, entire roles are being... — read more

Be vigilant
Each day it more and more reminds Squid Game. I am happy that I left it before this sick olympic cut game started. Remember to refresh your resume, plan updating your skills (there are many trainings online), do not ignore mental issue signs (burnout... — read more
How long after a round of interviews before you hear back?
Pass the screen, go for the round of interviews, how long before you hear something? Same Day? Couple days? Week? Do rejections come immediately while silence means a possible offer? Or is it the opposite, if they are interested you get an offer... — read more
Severance pay is lumpsum?
Anyone know whether the severance pay will be lumpsum or month by month?
When will this ordeal be over?
There’s no end in sight, and we still don’t know anything. It’s a terrible feeling not knowing what to expect, not knowing if you’re safe, while watching coworkers get let go with no clear criteria. I’m stressed out of my mind, just like most of us... — read more
Did anyone in Austin got laid off.
There is a lot of anxiety in the Austin campus but haven't heard of anyone getting impacted by the lay offs. Are there any Austin employees affected?
We all deserve better
It is obvious they do not see us as people. I wish everyone here could leave at once because none of us should settle for this treatment.
It's not over
Why are people acting like this is done? Many more will lose their jobs before this is truly over. This is, at best, a short reprieve.

I don't feel like working
This past week took everything out of me mentally. It drained me to a point where I can't even think about work without feeling anxiety and dread. I have no idea how I'm supposed to be productive going forward feeling like this. These layoffs... — read more

While workers were getting laid off and RIF’ed
While workers were getting laid off and RIF’ed thos gratuitous butt kissing session was happening literally almost at the same time: https://youtube.com/shorts/8XPy0R5SClQ?si=5NXfh94XazCheN57
salary increase
Do you know that in US annualized wage increase in Aug was 5%, with inflation elevated. So if you haven't received any salary increase in last year, (or years) Oracle literally saves on you and doesn't appreciate your work.
Haven’t been impacted yet
But if I do stay, what’s the point of getting invested in my work? Hard work and skills aren’t rewarded here. They’re punished. Because in the end, they just come with a higher price tag.
Honest review of Oracle!
After a few years at Oracle, I was let go, not because of performance but because of this AI nonsense. Still, I’m not surprised when I took this job, I knew this company didn’t care much about their employees, but I was happy to have a paycheck and... — read more

Your performance rating doesn't matter.
Given that the lay off selection didn't consider a person's performance rating, how on earth does Oracle think they can motivate the employees who remain ? Well, apart from maintaining a culture of fear and simply telling them that "youre lucky you... — read more

Was every department touched and who decided who will be let go?
Was the cut through every department?. Also, was the manager or the director the one who chose which coworker to let go? Some team report that the chosen one where great contributor yet I my friend was let go and it look like it was personal….
Oracle laid off the wrong people
I'm stuck working with people whose IQ is a few points above than a box of rocks. Not the sharpest tool in the tool shed, and I wind up doing their jobs for them. Not only do the smart, hard working people that got laid off got the shaft, but those... — read more

Any credible news about IGIU-GBU layoffs in JAPAC today? P6,Unifier and Aconex?
Any truth to this regarding EMEA?
Today's rumour is that oracle is taking to EWC mid September. Was not told who the source of the info is. Likely no action in EMEA until the end of the month or October then? OP: @a4+1k4ca9jw4
