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
- Keep minimum 2 projects in your portfolio
- Ensure you work with your customers. (don't rely on your lead or manager for inputs)
- Maintain good relationship with your manager peers
- Talk less. Don't share your stuff with anyone.
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.
