It has never been this clear. The constant stress, the worrying, the intentional withholding of information, all of it feels designed to push people to the edge until they finally say fu-k it and quit. If they can get enough people to simply walk away, it saves them a lot of money. At this point, it is hard not to think that this is part of the plan.

@ht have passed the HM stage several times and no offer yet , but if I manage to get one soon that will be for sure for a lower TC …so wondering if the smartest would be waiting for layoff and getting severance or moving for less to an unknow and probably risky place too …
tbqh if any of the dozens of job applications I'd sent out had got past the hiring manager interview stage I'd be out of here. So their strategy to maximise attrition is working.
@OP Soooooooooo, quit then.
@a6 if you think the management is so incompetent that they can't develop any kind of strategy why are you still here? If you truly believe this there is no reason for you to stay, you are jeopardizing your career and livelihood. Unless you are 5 or less years from retirement and you are willing to white knuckle it to the end you should be looking for your exit. Staying at a company that is as poorly managed as you claim is the equivalent of buying an airline ticket for a flight that you know is going to crash. If you see disaster coming you should get as far away from it as you can. Ask yourself what needs to happen to turn this around. If you can't come up with any plausible solutions why aren't you planning an exit?
Of course. If you voluntarily separate they don't have to pay out any severance.
This is always the intent of layoff announcements. Hope to get x% of people to quit voluntarily
How Your Voice Doesn't Count at Oracle

I wrote this a few years ago (2020), published last year, and it's still pertinent to work at Oracle today.
I don't think they're even competent enough to be this strategic. I think everything you mentioned is the result of flat-out incompetence from the top down.
Constructive dismissal
Nah this strategy doesn't work on me. Give me my full severance and I will happy go.
It’s true. Much cheaper for them if we quit, no severance paid
