I’ve been hearing rumors there will be a huge layoff after the migration to Fusion of all the people who are working this project. Anyone else hear this?

@fz Management doesn't care of the quality of support after this. Just as long as they get their paychecks, RSUs, bonuses, etc that regular support engineers never receive. It's really time for Oracle to trim the fat of middle management, directors, and VPs.
They laid off support and knowledge engineers who were working on trying to move the knowledge base to fusion. There will be lots lost, none of the archived documents will migrate, and many of the older documents have issues which require manual edits to fix. At this point I don't know if Management cares about the quality of support as long as they can still legitimately claim to offer it.
Dec 5 is now the date for go live. Not only will customers not be happy with Mos Fusion, but internal engineers will be scrambling doing the so called "swivel chair". Old Mos will be turned off on Dec 5 for the customer. AI will be feeding off the Fusion platform so after some time lay offs will pick up once AI is set to handle customer's SRs. Oracle should pull a Google and fire the middle managers/directors and VPs today who bring nothing to the company and let the overworked support engineers stay for a while.
I also heard that if it rains on Wednesday at 9:53 at the same time a crow crows we are all done for. Just get it into your heads nobody knows until you are told. Rumors hurt motivation just as badly as the layoffs do. Just get on with your job until you either leave get RIF’d or the world explodes. Even if you know for sure it’s not going to change something that is purely a business driven decision. You are not cared about or loved you are just a skin shell that does a job. If you want a family atmosphere go and work for Dominos Pizza, I hear you get to take cold pizza home at night.
If migration does not get completed, every one is safe. Great motivation.
After the migration? It's not even in a planning stage yet. And knowing Oracle, that's like 2 years away if it won't get cancelled midway.
