How? Recent Oracle Q4 results made OCI employees crazy as they are bagging huge compensation in terms of RSUs. Spending nice horizontal time and buying protections, cvs and walkgreen are happy.
What's important
At the end of the day what's important is not that there was little pruning here and a little rightsizing there, but rather that we are all working for world renowned Oracle, that we are all in the same boat, Larry's boat, and that by all rowing... — read more
Internal jobs
Does anyone actually get retained after a RIF via internal jobs that are available? If you do, wonder if that’s prolonging more pain and suffering?
Are there more D-Days to come?
Just wondering.
HSGBU
Hearing that Health Sciences quietly cut over 100 this past fall. I thought business was always booming but then again with their C1 product competing with its older EDC may be the reason....
How bad does Oracle suck today?
I used to work at Oracle back in the day and it was a POS. Biz model was the same back then, acquire companies and then drain out all lifeblood. Does it still su-k today? How bad?
In anticipation of Q4 financials
I'm curious to find out how strong the quarter was...

Google employees have expressed their disappointment over recent layoffs at the Mountain View, CA-based technology juggernaut through Bard, its own artificial intelligence (AI) service. In a company-wide email last week, CEO Sundar Pichai, asked... — read more
Have Oracle Leaders Communicated Layoffs Yet?
Or have leaders just continued to keep mum on things? I remember the August ‘22 folks never got mentioned internally.
Oracle is not worth it
I pity anyone who continues to keep themselves strapped to the side of the Oracle Titanic. Give it enough time and you'll get dumped to the curb, along with many others. Oracle RIFs are not going away anytime soon. I left Oracle several years ago... — read more
Elon’s magic broom needed
To wipe the layers of mid management and support functions. Would not be surprised if the ratio is 1 developer : 50 others.
Two Job Scam
While working at Oracle something appeared on one of those people-search websites saying that I was the CEO of an accounting company. Like I was running an accounting company as a "side hustle", as someone on here calls it. This was completely... — read more
Having 2 Jobs here
Is it possible to have an oracle job and then another tech job at the same time. I am an admin for a software so I don't think I would be conflicting in anyway. and if so where can i read my contract to see if this is allowed.
Why are so many FA Support based in US ?
O has been able to leverage IDC for development work. Not so much for support. Better to move to support from Dev.

Anyone affected by last weeks layoffs willing to share their severance package and amount of notice given before exit day?
Why is Oracle page the most active in this forum
Was checking the other companies’ pages on this forum and surprised to see that there are no others as active as O . Who said O can’t do well ?
Everybody should be quiet quitting
I know a few people who have been quiet quitting for years. None of them have been laid off. At the same time, many who have been burning the candle at both ends for years are now gone. It makes you wonder why the rest of us are even trying to stand... — read more
How much is experience valued here?
Why does it seem to me that Oracle values experience less than most competitors?
Bothered By Management Getting Promotions and Oracle treating ICs like Trash
Management getting promoted, ICs getting no raises/promotions for two whole fiscals at a minimum, or just laid off
How long to Stay at Oracle if Not Promoted?
Is Oracle counting on top performer attrition from no promotions FY24?
Was Marketing Impacted by the RIF?
Former employee here. How was marketing impacted yesterday? Hoping that JM’s year of doing nearly nothing wasn’t so bad on the employees who will likely bear the consequences.
Don't get too comfortable
If you think you're special and safe, you're wrong. Oracle management views every single one of us as very replaceable. They might pretend you're safe until they find somebody cheaper who can do the same things you can. Here or in India or somewhere... — read more
Even if you survive the RIF, you still lose
If you were impacted, I know this is a scary time and I can only hope that your friends, family and professional network are supportive. Don’t be ashamed to lean on them! If you were one of the “lucky” ones who is reading this whilst having a job... — read more
Oracle apps and tech sell and support themselves
Welcome to the future, rank and file employees no longer required. Self-provisioning, self-tuning, self-healing, self-patching and with recently added AI capability, now also self-upgrading. And given Oracle's recent cloud UI breakthroughs my... — read more
Are layoffs mostly in US ?
Seems like may be the pattern across all layoffs. As soon they have someone trained in IDC by US folks we are on the next RIF list.
Oracle Fusion Apps
Part of rif, solution engineers
High anxiety due to Never ending layoffs
Can O do one big layoff and done with it. This is not helping anyone.

What orgs have been laid off so far?
Just got notice of the Global RIF
CSM Organization for Non-Fusion products impacted. Calls are coming in now
It’s happening!
My team just received RIF notices. We looked after one of the largest customers in the US responsible for all oracle products/services and customer sat. To say we had a positive impact is a gargantuan understatement! JTs entire strategic account... — read more
Leadership First
People don’t leave bad jobs; they leave bad leaders. Many of the problems existing in varying organizations today come from pi-s poor leadership and management. While great leaders encourage their employees to reach their full potential and help... — read more
EOY predictions
Hearing it’s been a slower quarter across some business units, “okay” in others. From your perspective, how do you think we’ll end this month/year?

Non-Compete Question
To those that have been through the layoffs before, what kind of non-compete do they put into your severance letter? Just wondering how long I have to wait before I can approach existing customers in a consulting role?
