Anyone know if there is a severance from Oracle? I heard 6 months?

I am unsure if the layoff decisions were the same unilaterally across all orgs, but I was told that people knew yesterday afternoon and leadership had a say in it. In at least my organization they picked some high earners and some people who due to re-orgs were sort of put into bad spots.

Got the morning email and still have no information on whats next and we only get benefits til end of next week. How nice.

It’s heartbreaking. Do they even stop to think about how many lives they’ve turned upside down with this?

Poudre School District avoided layoffs for teachers on continuing contracts. The district placed all such teachers in new positions for the 2026-27 school year. This action eliminated a previously authorized reduction-in-force process. Many probationary teacher positions were still eliminated due to budget cuts. The district faces an anticipated budget deficit of at least $8 million.

Just received an email for a sales blitz for Alpharetta, Irving and Temple Terrace. I'm not sure about Alpharetta, but I know for a fact Temple Terrace is being decommissioned within the next two weeks. Items are already being auctioned on ASI 3 auction catalog lmao. This is how bad our leadership is. They sent an email for a sales blitz for a building that won't even have any furniture within the next few weeks lol

Kurt C. Small will be taking over as the new CEO. At least I don't see anything on Google about him being known as a "layoff guy" or anything, but who knows...

Can Dan or Sam offer a VSP already! Heard people were let go last Thursday. Nothing was communicated to our group. We were surprised to hear of anything. On top of that what happened to leadership communicating additional layoffs around the business?

People who’ve given Oracle ten plus years are being laid off through email, no call, no conversation, nothing. That would require facing the people affected, and clearly that’s not something they’re willing to do. It’s a cowardly way to handle something like this, but I'm not surprised.

Oklahoma County's detention facility faces a critical budget shortfall. Its operating authority will request more funding Tuesday. Layoffs or furloughs are possible without additional money. These personnel cuts would impact daily jail operations. The National Guard or other agencies might provide assistance.

Employees who's stock vest in June are let go. Just 2 days to vest between last date and vesting date .

Just to see if there were any hidden changes.

I got mine today. Till now I don't know anything about the rest of my team/my org. Not sure how hard it is hit.

With layoffs happening this morning, it looks like the company may be in the middle of a broader cost-cutting and restructuring move. A possible explanation is that leadership is reducing headcount in areas it believes can be automated or absorbed by AI-enabled tools and smaller teams, with the aim of lowering costs, improving margins, and signaling a more efficient operating model to shareholders. If that is what is happening, the message is less about short-term performance and more about a transformation strategy centered on automation, leaner staffing, and investor-facing value creation.

I know T-Mobile has been struggling and has monthly layoffs. I want to work for the competition. They've been my coverage provider since I left college. I just want to know if they're hiring developers in this bleak job market. Pardon me if this isn't the right place to ask.

Oracle saving lots of H1B's and Layoff US Citizens and Greencard holders
Lots of my friends holding Greencard got affected but H1B remain without issues.
Is Oracle biased ?

30k employees let go today.

Hope you can sleep well after this?

We just had two team members let go. So sad.

Didn't get the termination email but management has been quiet. No communication, no meetings scheduled. Confusion everywhere.

No 60 days or two weeks or whatever?

RV joins the company, lays people off, reduces benefits, saves on costs, and raises service fees. Once the stock price goes up, he’ll sell his shares and leave

Oracle sent an email to an estimated tens of thousands of employees this morning to let them know they were laid off. When will Walmart do the same?

Any RIF impact on them?

State holiday in California.

Here is to less layoffs this week.

Got the generic email this morning. Just one month short of my 15 year mark. I have seen a lot of good people and engineers treated in similar fashion so I knew this day would come sooner or later. All the best to everyone affected.

Got word that multiple people in sales and support have been impacted from an Oracle Communications GBU perspective.

No word on consulting yet but more to come throughout the quarter unfortunately.

Certainly hits when you put a name to the people impacted.

Heard we lost some long timers in a group at Finance accounting.

Next years H1B petitions have been approved and the americans are getting kicked out..ooouch...

Word in Denver is April 2nd and 9th are change dates. Know your future by 2nd and survivors begin new roles on 9th. Anyone hear contrary information?

They are about to do some really terrible and undesirable things regarding department structure and redistribution of work.
