How long has it been without any more layoffs? The year certainly started well. Is it too early to start to think that job security might once again be a thing at Oracle?

No major layoffs this past week. Total since 6/1/2016 remains at 20,396. Keep looking folks while the economy is still going strong or you’ll get locked in at oracle.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/02/21/biz_sues_oracle/ They keep pulling this nonsense and more clients will pull out. You promise and don't deliver?

I don't know if the rumor is true, but it does make sense to do paycuts rather than layoffs. Cheaper for Oracle and gives the employees room to think about whether they want to continue to work there without being suddenly laid off. On the other... — read more 

Funny that someone posted a request for a pay hike that went all the way up to LE, cause the plan is the opposite. Rumor has it the executive team is looking for "growth" they cant seem to find it. Wall street likes growth. Oracle has only 3 Hopeful... — read more

The company had a position in Oracle for a single quarter. From: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/14/oracle-stock-falls-after-berkshire-dissolves-its-stake.html

https://www.sharesoutstandinghistory.com/orcl/ Looks like they've been reducing since 2012 or so. But the downward curve is steeper in the last year.

We are coming up again on the end of the quarter. How were sales this quarter? Was there a massive recovery? Have customers started to flock to Oracle in droves to buy into the Oracle cloud? Or was WB right to get out?

O yea peons, now you know where your raises went.

This is all that you need to know about this company.

Morally what Oracle does is very questionable. As an employee - if you honestly give your all to Oracle - work hard and to the best of your ability - put in your 8-10 hours a day - take weekend and out of hours calls with good grace - keep yourself... — read more 

voluntary retirement would be the best option for the employees above 10 years of experience in oracle who no longer willing to work and waiting for the company to layoff them.

Just wanted to support DOL's allegation that people on visas get underpaid. I am being underpaid almost 10% than the market standard. and 8% below the prevailing wage set by DOL. I have been underpaid for the last two years.
