It feels like tech compnies have figured out a way to make their numbers look better than they really are. They keep raising prices, which boosts reported sales, even though they are not actually selling more. So on paper it looks like growth but... — read more

How was the list prepared ? Why another round when previous one is still going ? What percentage you are losing from your team ?

Manager favorites and ego strokers enjoy the gains !!

Any other teams having the same experience? This is nuts, I worked for a few large product orgs over last 2 decades and I've never seen it nuts like this. Oh well, maybe it's just my team, dont know.

Hey everyone, Given the recent situation, I was curious (only if you’re comfortable sharing) — how much RSU value did you end up losing due to the layoffs or unvested grants?

How many workers received VOICE SURVEY link? I am guessing only REMOTE workers received it.

Yes entire team. We all got invited to a single business update meeting and then the director told us, this team is redundant.

Heard from my friend that Meta is moving all Middle Managers and Directors to IC roles. Keeping Senior Management lean. This way it can identify whom it can let go quickly. Should Oracle follow same ?

Hope they all get laid off

If my separation date is April 10th, can I start applying for it now? Or do I need to wait till get the lump sum payment? (in the doc, it says it'll be coming within 3 weeks after separation date).

It felt like I was signing divorce papers from a bad marriage. I'm very glad to be out of that company. The max severance package and unemployment are like having a hot girl say she just wants to hang out with you after your divorce but nothing... — read more
