These layoffs are consistent with Oracle's business model. That is to say:
Given this model there is no such thing as too many reductions.

It would be so much more human if they would at least tell about what is happening. The current state where one can see people log off and one has to wait is te---r.

What you write is not surprising. The surprising part is how it is done.
There is no "we will discontinue product X" or other explanation given. Even if not explicitly stated, there are so many fired already that this should be visible by now. So far I haven't seen a pattern showing what Oracle is up to other than short term save money, ignoring the possibility to be sued by customers for not delivering what the contract says.
The immediate manager of teams that has been cut 10%, 20% or even 50% has not impacted or even been consulted who to let go. That can't be normal. In a normal situation you try to save money without affecting the activity and obligations to customers too much. It is not "slimming down" if it feels random.
Yuck. You make Oracle sound like some disgusting, vampiric parasite!
Why you such an a-s larry
