Pattern in layoffs?
I’ve noticed a few people suggest they were laid off just before an employment anniversary or milestone. Curious is any of these people are in the same boat as me, where you were terminated with a couple days of RSUs vesting?
How many laid off now? Oracle employees can look at the #general slack channel and give us the number
Yesterday I think it was over 172k then drooped to 169K. So what iat now?
first month COBRA
Does Oracle pay for the first month of COBRA 100% or the same percentage as if you were a regular current employee? I understand after the first month of separation, you are 100% responsible for monthly COBRA premium, which can be $2000+/month for... — read more
should we work hard or should we unionize?
I mean like why work hard at all? I mean I think as a nation all workers should do everything they can to interfere and hold up the employers because they have all the power. in fact everything we should do should be to confound and frustrate the... — read more

Oracle Carnage
I created a virtual environment test bench for our local office at first, to test Xstore Office in order to replace our bug testing on real hardware. It got so popular that it is now used in a global environment. Never once did I get a raise or... — read more
Bloodbath in Oracle Development
Another day of major cuts across Oracle Database development and other groups. A lot of highly skilled, experienced people with very relevant expertise are being let go. Top performers gone. It looks like the impact is falling more heavily on... — read more
My team is becoming a joke
I’m sure these three basically-kids and two chronic slackers are ready to fill the shoes of the four veterans we just lost. I also hope they’re ready to take on the workload, because I sure as he-l am not going to. Is there even a general idea of how... — read more
My manager is laid off
He's the best manager I've had since I started working here. I don't hold too much hope that somebody as competent is going to replace him. This makes me so angry.
Age discrimination
Too many old-timers have been hit. I wonder if there's grounds for an age discrimination suit.
There’s no grand strategy behind these layoffs
It’s just about money, and more money. Which, in reality, means we’ve been disproportionately shedding talent.
Making billions, ruining lives.
Was at this org in the mid two thousands. Worst environment I've ever seen. When I left on my own after 8 months, I was the 9th person to leave. Upper mgt here are sc-mbags.
Anything so far today?
I know it's still early, but I'm taking the lack of chatter as a good thing.
Laid off after 11 years - and I feel relieved
The anxiety had been building to a peak by the time I got notified. And at that moment, I realized I didn’t actually want to work here anymore anyway. Not a coping mechanism, just a sudden, clear realization that not only had I stopped caring about... — read more
"Don't take it personally"
I heard one coworker tell that to another who'd just been laid off yesterday. He was actually trying to comfort him. The guy we lost has 12 years experience, the one who said not to take it personally has been here for a year and to say he still can... — read more
Are we at least done for the week?
I know layoffs are far from over, but what about this week?
Promises broken
When Oracle bought Cerner, they tried to convince us that there wouldn't be mass layoffs. That was enough to prevent a mass exodus. 3 years later and they've gutted the company. All of the buildings in KC are empty, even the campus they kept is a... — read more
I refuse to believe this
This is going to continue through October. Buckle up! This can't be true, right?
Missing targets for biggest customers
I wonder how Oracle will meet their targets for the DoD/VA, and the other two federal clients. Teams that were already short on people and missing deadlines are even worse off now. Cerner has been called before Congress for missing targets before... — read more

Got laid off Sept 2 in Fusion apps just days from my 25th anniversary.

Future of Oracle
It looks that only numbers matters. It's now a CFO driven company. I've been told that no-one wants to join Oracle now, as can be fired in 1month, 1year. Or low paid jobs for intern/early guys. Even Gartner magic quadrant won't support, people hate... — read more

Laid off after 21 years
How the he-l do I even start a job search after two decades? I was convinced I'd retire here. I was given zero indications that I wasn't safe. I gave Oracle my all for so long and this is how they repay me.
Your voice should be interesting!
Kicks off next week. I hear leadership is not going to be as stringent on hitting participation goal numbers. I wonder why! Layoffs, no focal. But don't worry folks, we listen, develop, and take care of our employees...
