Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

No more RIF for next 8 months

No more RIF for next 8 months from Oracle but expect some performance based layoffs in mid-year. Here are the things you should note

  1. Keep minimum 2 projects in your portfolio
  2. Ensure you work with your customers. (don't rely on your lead or manager for inputs)
  3. Maintain good relationship with your manager peers
  4. Talk less. Don't share your stuff with anyone.
  5. If project is not viable or repetitive, just move on

    AI is helpful for you to deliver things quickly but makes you d-mb in outside market. You get into a loop always without reason because AI does the reasoning for you.
    Use AI to remain competitive to deliver in project but don't rely on it for ever. Remember management will push AI usage to automate your work completely and stabilize it.
    Once project is stabilized you are out of game.

@bb the people I worked with in EMEA were soft, never unskilled, never relied on them for anything other than smallest responsibilities and funny comments with their accents, and really just the easiest tasks. Most never been in trenches. Soft. Weak.

@aj do you really believe that the head count numbers aren't going to drop substantially? More than 1 person is making these predictions. In today's market you should always be looking for your next job. The world is changing fast and the pace of change keeps increasing. You need to be constantly updating your skills and keeping yourself employable. Most people aren't doing this and will get mowed down. There are a lot of people in the job market that have been unemployed a long time and that group is getting bigger.

There will be layoffs again shortly after the start of FY27. I'm an M3 and I've already been told who I'm going to be losing. More cuts are coming. Prepare accordingly.

That is an unsustainable. The way forward is AI, even for Applications and Databases. Oracle will eventually get to around 75K staff globally from the current 154k
