Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Sales quotas as a means to persuade people to leave

I have been a employee of Oracle for 10+ years in Asia Pacific - many jurisdictions in APAC have failry strong labour/labor laws.

Sales targets have over the past 2-3 years increased substantially, to the point one could reasonably claim employee harrassment or "setting the employee up to fail"

Question: Would you bother trying to fight FY27 targets as un-reasonable, or leave with your head held high and maybe return when the job market favors the employee rather than employer?

@qr hopefully your OTE increased 300% or you are getting bent over too.

It helps once you learn to relax your butt-muscles.

Mine has increased 300%+ over the years but I still crush it. Deal with it or jump. No one is forcing you to stay.

No use in fighting it-it will not change. Take it or leave it. Do well, get rewarded with a higher goal. So poorly, go broke. Pick yo poison.

Are you the only one with the high sales targets? If no, then proving that it is unreasonable is going to be difficult. It may be outside of your skills but perfectly reasonable for someone else. Maybe you have hit your level of competence and need to go find an easier job.

You work in sales, so your job is to deal with it or else find something better.
