@12a yeah, the huge pyramyde of managers is useless, they serve and behave only like control freaks, no value added - sholud be laid off first.
You could lay off 99% of all Oracle mgmt and the place wouldn't blink an eye.

@cq I don't capture a lot of minuses either when additions and removals happen at the same time. So it's an absolute floor estimate for reductions
Plus I know people in Pacific who already had their last day, but are still in Slack.
To be fair, some of those 'minus' numbers could be people who left on their own, correct? Not defending O, most of that total is probably layoffs, but not 100%.
@ba North America
@b5 Sorry for you, could you tell which country was the hit?
I was one of those layoffs yesterday. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the coldness of it all. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised
@a1 Appreciate your updates. Keep up the great work. Big Red really su-ks and is a toxic workplace
Thank you a lot for your update service, I appreciate that 🫡
