Voluntary would be preferable. I was hoping to be cut in the last round but no luck. I know several people who feel the same way I do. Sadly, this is usually how these things go. People who want out are not affected and those who need their jobs end... — read more

What are the chances of more layoffs before the end of the year? I'm convinced that we're safe for now but some of my coworkers are convinced it's only a matter of weeks before another major round is announced. I hope I'm not an id--t for believing... — read more

Curious to know where ACS stands in this sh!t3show of layoffs.

Doctoring numbers and has an elite squad or rejects under her. What gives? Has their been a more ineffective leader in the last decade? Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind but at least she was pushing a product people want.

How long has this culture of treating employees like absolute dogshit been going on for now? Feels like it started around 2009-ish?

@@#@#@ FUSION SUPPORT ORG SUCKS #!@#!@# When MS took charge, we all thought he will streamline the support org and end the long-running favoritism within this org. But it turns out now that it's worse than ever before and managements are the ONLY... — read more 

Larry and Safra need a exit strategy to cash out, it’s as simple as that. The alignment to Microsoft and LinkedIn is a strategic move much like Cerner. The only way for them to cash out is to merge or be acquired. It’s possible it could be Google as... — read more 

The management is too quick to reduce the number of employees to save money and always forgets that it's those employees who are making the money for the company in the first place. The latest RIF severely affected productivity. It might not be... — read more

Division: Appraisal: Bonus: RSUs

How many will still be here to see Q3, whether it is our choice or theirs? If you are looking, congratulations, and leave a note to encourage others.

I don't intend to stay here much longer. I am questioning whether I have the right skills to meet the prospective employer's needs. Why are there so many who say that their skills have atrophied here?

Been allocated RSUs for the first time. Could anyone help me understand the T&Cs for that? Have not yet received an email about it. Hence, I am asking. TIA.

Imagine being led by someone nicknamed the "Hatchet Man." Makes Ax-Man feel warm and fuzzy in comparison. https://archive.ph/eUKFR

Does anyone know which Oracle products have been safe from layoffs? Vs which ones have been dismantled? Oracle seems to have solid products based on capabilty, but which ones are msking them money?

It is surprising to see how many people here write that they accepted lower paid jobs just to get out of Oracle as soon as possible. Personally I don't know anyone who agreed to a less lucrative offer, everyone got much better offers.
