It's easier to send out an email like that one to thousands of human beings. Writing us off like office furniture.

If you want to have employment for life, pension and government provided insurance independent of work. move to a socialist country and stop crying about the employer's right to terminate employes at will.

Never saw such a bad Severance pay in any company

March 31 - April 10th is not some states required 60 days. Even if you count garden leave you would have to be for more than 3+ years to be over 60 days in weeks?

Oracle used to be a great company to work for. They really cared about making work GOOD for people, at least in dev teams. They wanted you to be able to work well, so they did everything they could to help - on site dry cleaning, food in the break... — read more

As per a contact in HR - this was just the initial wave. They will be making further cuts this summer to reach the 30k goal.

If I didn’t get laid off I was going to leave by end of the fiscal year. It was all I could do to stay as long as I did after the Sept layoffs. The work just piled up with hardly anyone left to do it, but if I stayed long enough to be let go, the $... — read more 

If only 10k done, do we expect another 20k. By when ? If 30k already done, those left, are the safe ?

Don't ever take the company you work for seriously, and don't ever invest yourself. No extra effort, no personal dedication, no interest in the outcomes. There's no version of the story with companies like Oracle in which any of it pays off, and you... — read more

Discuss!

Especially with this many people flooding the market all at once?

Stop misusing "fired" when you mean "laid off." "Fired" implies misconduct; "laid off" implies downsizing. Use these terms accurately to protect professional reputations.

Tech bosses say AI will make us work less. So far, that's mostly meant fewer of us will be working for them full-time in the long run. So be distrustful of anything you hear from leadership.

I’m just curious if there was anyone laid off while on maternity, paternity, or medical leave? Heard stories of someone who wishes they took their full leave and was RIFd anyway, but anyone truly at home with baby and got a call!

again during the night another 1k dropped on slack , maybe its late accounts disabling , about 13k + since the last week .
