I found it interesting that as I've been pinged by recruiters, I almost feel MORE safe leaving Oracle during economic uncertain times, rather than staying.
The severance package here su-ks compared to other tech companies. Layoffs happen without any WARN notices being posted or heads up being given. Layoffs are also not based on performance, but often based on how much you make from what I've seen.
So it seems that it's a no-brainer... If you can find a company that pays better (shouldn't be very hard), and a company that has even a marginally better severance package (also shouldn't be very hard), you/I should take an offer. It seems like it's safer to be a new hire at another company than a tenured and high performer at Oracle.
Sad.
