Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

@5xn what countries?

@5f9 1-1 notifications went ahead last week as expected. Different teams were notified different days. Short conversations to inform one continues to be at risk of redundancy, then document emailed.

Next is 1-1 with HR and notifying manager to explain severance package and answer questions.

It started in Czech Republic too.

@40n any update?

Consultation period in Ireland is over at the end of the week, notifications to those affected are expected early next week.

@3nk any updates about Czech, Poland and Latvia?

@3ad
Germany 200-250 employees affected. All GIU's except OCI. High pressure from Oracle US to finalize the layoff in Germany asap, until end of this year approx. Happy New Year... The townhall was not explaining anything, just spreading uncertainty with zero empathy.

@3ec , when you say Customer facing colleagues would you say which Teams / org have been hit so far in EMEA ?

I know some ISRs in Ireland and a couple of SE in AT only so far …

Sad to see, that Oracle fires hundreds and thousands of customer facing colleagues to be able to serve a just handful of hyped AI companies like OpenAI, Meta and Google or TikTok. Current customers will realize very quickly by the lack of personal contact, that their long lasting business and trust into Oracle is traded for pleasing the stock market and focussing on a bubble, that will collapse somewhen.

It's not only colleagues but also customers that will loose big here.

@3ad could you give some details and which teams will be impacted? So worried :(

@3ad looks like they are getting closer to Eastern Europe..

@3ad Any details? Which teams? How many people? When will it be effective?

Germany had its call this afternoon for the teams affected.

Which teams were affected in Dublin?

TBH I would also fire every single person that "designed" the new CMOS

Anyone posting layoff info - please include the org & country too - at a minimum tech (OCI) or apps (fusion/GIU) - where available. Will help contextualise

Italy today +- 70 people will be fired.

@100 Eastern Europe also?

Approx. 1800 employees will be final for Europe (w/on UK) in first round. All countries impacted

That's so brutal. Any updates on UK layoffs?

@fe Absolutely brutal, and if that's true, is that about 70% of the entire office? It seems like the quota was disproportionally put to that location.

If I stayed on the team after this and had the opportunity, I would seriously consider finding a new position very soon. There is no way that they are finished with just this.

Trondheim: 15 let go and 7 safe. Don't have the full overview roles etc, but many long time employees

@e7 can you share what the outcome was

News from Norway?
Italy still nothing, but it will happen in weeks/days

Trondheim office allhands at 12 today with HR about the "ongoing restructuring, that affect roles in Norway"

Anything about Czech Republic?

@b2 Can you give some détails ?

@ae why?

Next one is Spain, that is also one of the more underperforming countries in OCI

Yeah, as expected - like the sports results: who lost, who won, what the numbers are...

I expect the UK to be next, sweeping from left to right: Ireland, UK, Spain, France, Poland, etc.

@am Dude, there’s already a RIF running in France for weeks now, so no, they can’t hit us right now by law . Your move… enjoy.

@OP Poland expected to be hit?

I hope France is next. Im Spanish.

What about Eastern Europe countries?

Finally. I hope CZ is next

Engineering/technical meaning? css? consulting?

Is this in tech or apps or both?

Please do not spread rumors. Trust your managers. Trust the board.

so sorry for all affected, hoping you all find something better and less stressful.

Sorry to hear that (to those that actually wanted to stay). You’ll be better off somewhere else, Oracle is only getting worse.
