AEST-Manufacturing Engineering Headcount Reduction

We’ve heard rumors of domestic onsite engineering headcount reductions in favor of offshoring work to the KLTC and BTC. Finally heard a real number; a 40% to 50% reduction in onsite engineering at the manufacturing sites by ~2030. Already importing folks from KL and BTC to fill key business team rolls onsite. Soon XOM will be run from Malaysia and India. Prepare your resumes.


Are rumours blowing up too much?

Last year, the 10-K seemed to foreshadow a significant round of layoffs, given Oracle’s roughly $2B restructuring budget.

The FY27 10-K, by comparison, indicates about $300M in restructuring costs, and at least some of that appears to be tied to completing restructuring actions initiated in the previous fiscal year.

Am I missing something, or is this year’s restructuring budget much more in line with Oracle’s typical fiscal-year spending rather than suggesting another unusually large RIF?


Fideliscare NY Marketing

Look like a lot of people in Fideliscare (those who didn’t take VSP) some did not read the part of potential layoff in August and some are nervous.
Another thing some think everything is business as usual yet at the same time management is in meetings. A lot of marketing reps took VSP some leaving SEPT/DEC/MAR


Walmart to layoff more associates in San Bruno

Walmart intends to reduce San Bruno staffing mid to late August 2026. August has traditionally been a favorite month for Walmart to lay off associates.

No big deal, though. San Bruno is the leftover bastion from the failed merger, and this appears to be just more cleanup and wind down. There is some speculation, however, that other locations might be hit, as well. We’ll see as more info leaks.


Customer service advocates

Any CSAs hear anything? I havent seen or heard about any customer service advocates getting hit? Not member services but people who have customer service advocate behind their name on teams? Nearly my whole team has been here over 2 years so idk if they accepted the vsp or declined it. Not sure if any of us will have a job soon


Another "Next Step" Program recently announced

Heard that there was another "Next Step" program recently announced, to start on September 1, 2026 and wrap-up on December 31, 2026. Not sure what organizations are included, but this end date undoubtedly suggests that an RA is being planned for 1Q27. Seems it's also been expanded to include Band 8s (maybe even Band 7s?), whereas the previous one cut-off at Band 9.
Anyone have any more details?


Department TH Scheduled Mid-September. Does This Mean Department Is Safe?

I’m grasping at straws here so take it easy on me in the responses please. I’ve noticed from reading posts on here that a few departments are having townhalls in August which is when RIF is allegedly supposed to occur. My department doesn’t have any townhalls scheduled until September after the initial VSP separation date and it’s 1 of those choose between 2 different dates type of meetings. I feel as though if we were laid off it would be 1 day only, the option to choose is making me feel as though we won’t be affected by RIF’s. This whole fiasco has been a disaster! I don’t want to dox myself but I work in PHCO.


August doom date

Im not sure if it’s because im not someone whos getting laid off, or it just hasn’t caught up to me yet…..but im wondering where everyone’s getting this august 12th-14th date as the timeframe we’re all supposedly supposed to know if involuntarily layoffs will happen ?I check my emails nearly every hour since this whole thing started and all ive gotten is im not eligible for vsp. Thats it, i see so many posts even on facebook of people talking about what and when their separation dates are. But i get no information, my sup tells my team nothing. I work in claims talking to the providers and do authorizations, so is it just certain departments with this information or are some PL/supervisors more willing to talk?


Anyone hearing about EAcX / MACx layoffs in August?

I’ve been hearing rumors about potential layoffs in EAcX and MACx sometime in August. Has anyone heard any credible updates or know if there’s any truth to it? Also, are people hearing about a specific percentage of employees that could be impacted, or is it all speculation at this point?


Can people stop inventing numbers?

Is your goal to make people panic? You don't know what's coming. Unless you're part of the C-suite, you have no idea how many people will be laid off and when. This is all a guessing game, and stating it as fact can only serve to further erode people's mental health through unnecessary stress. Just stop it.
