I know they don’t need a lot of reasons to perform layoffs, but why did they chose this time to perform them? Wasn’t it more logical if they performed them earlier, aront the beginning of the year or in autumn? What’s the logic behind this timing?

With the exception of a slight career detour in recent years, I pretty much worked for Sun and Oracle for my entire adult. The houses I bought, my wedding with my wife, all those diapers and baby expenses, my kids private schools....all from Sun and... — read more

CG has been in and out of all the hubs telling managers to "seed" every active deal with ADW, whether the customer has a use case for it or not. Hmmm that sounds eerily familiar to when it was widespread that reps were "seeding cloud" into every... — read more

What happens with your exercisable stock options after a Layoff?

Hi, does health insurance terminate the same day as the laid off day? And if you do get Cobra, does it get retroactive back to the day when your health benefit ends? Thanks.

Most public companies announce layoffs in advance; oracle does not, so T.I. Decided to do it for them. For immediate public release Having failed to generate growth in cloud revenues on par with real cloud companies and give that everybody (and their... — read more

Here is the deal - OCI was indeed supposed to be the future but turned out to be monumental pile of manure, combined with almost nonexistent investments in actual cloud infrastructure. Also they are paid king’s ransom and I can see how tempting it... — read more

Oh, goody - we get an extra day of anticipation and worrying and stress as we wait to find out who will be laid off and who is safe. So nice of Oracle to be so kind and provide us with all that excitement when they could have been boring and just had... — read more 

Meetings scheduled in the AM , no idea for what?

Will there be more layoffs today? If yes, any idea on what will be hit?

I guess that break we had in layoffs was really too good to be true. I knew something like this was bound to happen - just when we relaxed a bit thinking we are safe at Oracle, they threw something like this at us. And now we are back to sleepless... — read more 

Oracle is a sales company with some software in tow - not a software company. They have given up the innovation game years ago. Their goal is to put out the bare minimum product, and then let their sales teams sell it to Enterprise executives scared... — read more 

In IDC, if you're laid off, you get a month's salary for each year you 'served' the company. Plus, salary of the notice period and any earned leaves you saved. If you were in Oracle for 10 years and some months, you'd get 10 + 2 + 1.5 months of sal... — read more

The guy who hired me scheduled a meeting one on one what could it be about ?

So remember back last year when TK left, reportedly because he wanted Oracle products to run on other public clouds (that work)? Well, maybe good old LE actually IS making something happen. A "bet the company" move that may involve some smoke and... — read more 

I got a "mandatory" presential meeting today with a HR guy it resulted the to be the layoff meeting. I was working for OCI-C project, you are warned. Post ID: @Y85sLda-1dbv Moving to the top for visibility.

they fire engineers from one side, hire and sponsor engineers at 150 K plus on the other side! wonder how DOL is approving these petitions!

EMEA will see a huge reorg in June 2019 (Q1FY20). Solution Engineering will push their hub plans and Business Development will get some axe magic. CSMs will most probably be reduced even further. Digital teams will also face a major overhaul.

The stock is going up day by day, any idea why?

Looks like Oracle cloud business is struggling. They're using fake limited time offers to trap customers into using OCI. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6507957144946503680

Is somebody simply trolling or are people actually being laid off today? If they are, where? Which locations and departments?
