Message from my M5 NA squash friend is that they will be pushing lower rankings to all in reviews and employees will be stack ranked. There will be reviews across each GBUs. M5 suspects another round of cuts coming. For those with manager hate here - cuts will also be coming in for M level. The initial step per M5 was getting those with few reports to IC in FY 26. Many long term managers are understandably struggling in IC roles so cutting them on performance criteria in FY 27 will create no legal issues. Exact timeline not clear at the moment per M5 and he said he is prepping to be let go and hopes he at least lasts untill his RSUs/options vest. The RSU/options vest at M5 NA are 500K-1M - WOW - I don't think it was a lie. My Senior Developer RSU is 7.5 percent of that like WTF.

@sn ic4 and below don’t get as much as managers/directors. Ic3 and below don’t get rsu
@af ICs at NetSuite most certainly get RSUs…what do you mean by that?
@a1 Hearing the same here....
If you didn’t make your number you’re considered don’t meet expectations
stack ranking happens every year. there is nothing new here. the only new criteria introduced is amount of tokens used.
What does stack ranked mean? I mean I don’t really care if I’m two or five at this point, I’m close to retiring or if I get riffed I’ll deal with it. Hopefully this is the last review I ever need to do with this miserable company.
M6 here. The info from the OP tracks.
IC.4 here, From oracle db org we were told the same thing ... in the meantime uncle Larry is richer and richer
he said he is prepping to be let go and hopes he at least lasts untill his RSUs/options vest. The RSU/options vest at M5 NA are 500K-1M
Those RSUs are a flashing neon red flag accompanied by an air raid siren. He's history.

@b2 our team is being told (in so many words) that perf evals are going to be based on how well we train our replacements, ai or otherwise. Nice to know that there is no longer any ambiguity surrounding the process. /s
@OP this explains why 'performance evaluations' are being enforced compared to last year. I am getting reminders despite due date expired
I’m an m-level in NetSuite.
There’s definitely a push to get M level managers into IC roles in our gbu. ICs don’t get RSUs so it’s a good way to start weeding out people fast…comp at Oracle is laughable. Without the RSU carrot, NS will not be able to compete for talent.
@OP Any other managers here from NA can you please confirm if they are hearing the same thing?
