i got cut by oracle in 2018... it was the textboo way to do it... there were rumors of layoffs for a few weeks (then a one to one with my manager)!
a month’s notice, time for handover meetings, plus sh-t trainings for finding a new job or setting up as a consultant. there was also the option of a redundancy pool, along with 6 months of redundancy pay. about 3K of us were cut at that time.
now it seems like when it’s 30K, oracle threw all that good practice out the window and told everyone to f off via email overnight, with all access immediately revoked.
i guess clay magouyrk is a sh-----d who models himself on the musk school of management, whatever that means. safra katz seemed like a decent person who had helped rehabilitate oracle’s corporate reputation to an extant (i have reservations abouth her too) only for it to go down the sh-t-drain again.
