Share any updates you may have about Oracle Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Having two CEOs was always an incredible waste of money. SC was just a glorified accountant, who I guess LE needed to give a CEO title to in order to keep her around. Guess she wasn’t good enough to handle finance and sales/ops. Yet so many teams... — read more

HG-M not running. Has been selling steadily. Without him and MH, Oracle plans only 13 directors. Why does this matter? No new "independent" director, less governance to counter buybacks and stoodges. Your fates are... — read more

Washington Post in an article about share buybacks and how executives profit from them, called out S.C. as the biggest seller of stock while the company was buying back stock and she was proclaiming oracle stock to be a great buy

In stock buybacks. Almost $100b in past 10 years. Could R&D with some of that money been productive to prevent future market loss and layoffs? We will never know. Keep looking. Apparently company performance lags market when insiders and CEOs sell... — read more 

About 100!laid off this past week in North America, including Contract Management in San Antonio. That brings the total since 6/1/2016 to 25,266. Keep looking folks, keep looking, this is not going to get any better.

Not sure what is impacted, but some groups are eviscerated in Cloud.

Looks like S.C. being besties with DJT didn’t help O with the deal, which went to MSFT. Another day another loss for big red.

Who's going to keep this group alive now, assuming Mark Hurd was the original driver of this function?

The layoff moderator seems very determined to remove all post which say anything negative about Hurd. Kind off ridiculous behavior. We all k is lots of people outright hated him and somehow saying negative things about him was ok when he was alive... — read more 

Whom do you vote for next stooge

Elevating the man to sainthood now is just ludicrous.

Not my post, read it on another thread, but I totally agree with it. Hell, even LE thinks Bob Miner was loyal to the people before the company

Someone is trolling this site or Oracle HR made it their mission to keep pushing PR b—s— here to change public opinion.
