The past year I've been settled in cruising, super productive, high touch customer engagement activities that were directly tied to a revenue stream, 5 rating all around, visibility up to my VP. The thought of a RIF was the absolute further thing from my mind. And guess what, I got that 15 minute appointment scheduled in my calendar a few Monday's back, and it all ended. So for everyone left at Oracle thinking you're untouchable because of what you do, think twice. You/we really are just a number and when your time is up, someone up high will punch your ticket and you'll get that tap on the shoulder from your manager.

The managers, one level up make sure that you are not critical, even if you are very important. So when they need that 10% reduction, someone else will do your job or it will not get done at all and they still get to cash in their stock options and get rich.
Nothing to do with you, OP - apparently AI could do your job, and a lot cheaper too (well, once they pay however much to build the data center needed to run it).
It often happens when one expects it the least
It just means you weren't part of the clique.
It happened to me and it was so upsetting I have worked so hard for Oracle. Worst company
