If I didn’t get laid off I was going to leave by end of the fiscal year. It was all I could do to stay as long as I did after the Sept layoffs. The work just piled up with hardly anyone left to do it, but if I stayed long enough to be let go, the $ reward would be pretty nice. I was ecstatic to finally get the nod. My severance is maxed so I’ll be using it as a paid 6 month sabbatical while I get ready to retire. Hasta la vista Oracle and Aloha Larry.

I do feel bad for the employees who didn't get laid of as well. Their workloads will increase. AI is not at the point of replacing people or making that dramatic of an efficiency change. Its a lie. I also left because of the insane workload. I was tired of giving up my evenings and weekends for this company. Loyalty gets you no where. They will use you until they are done.
I am bummed to lose RSUs… but otherwise I am so happy to be gone. I was gonna stick it out until vesting… so it’s just a little early retirement. (And a big chunk of vacation money lost!!)
It’s not gonna be fun to be there the rest of the year.
I tried that, but it didn’t work. Don’t know how much longer I can stand it.
I was at oracle for 21 years. Was begging for a package but my manager wouldnt do it. I bailed…worked a few more years and retired two yrs ago. Enjoy retirement.
Excellently orchestrated, congratulations!!!
I feel happy for your. Lucky ba----d! 😄
This is the way.
