Every so often I click in "Related Companies" to see what's going on around the industry. The move to the Cloud and specifically behemoths Amazon, Microsoft and Google is wiping out the traditional on-prem / integrated stack players. Some are in even... — read more 

As you are notified of labels having been printed in your name and of the actual layoffs, please report them here. Please add location and org, number of people being laid off, etc. Good luck all be well !

I am support engineer that handles multiple service requests in a given day. At any given day, we have Oracle consultants(contractor-billable under Aria) that logs non stop severity 1 24x7 service requests asking us to do their jobs for them. 99% of... — read more 

A strong manager will avoid massive layoffs by hiring well, training thoroughly, and supporting his/her staff through difficult times. A weak manager makes sure he/she gets paid first and best, and in times of adversity takes the path of least... — read more 

Does anyone know? Heard there will be only support teams left.

Laying off as much talent as they have and the manner in which Oracle performed the layoff on 9.1.2017. Where ever I land and I'm close, Oracle wont have any software, nor equipment on the floor. No Oracle cloud services, AWS or AZURE. All Oracle... — read more 

Granted to the Board is stacked with LE cronies, but so they have any clue how bad and uncompetitive oracle's cloud products are and how insane oracle's layoffs are? Talk about getting rid of talent that oracle will never get back or be able to... — read more 

I am hearing that HD is done and that he is leaving a cloud vendor. There will be a big re-org after OOW and not before because execs don't have time to do this with the conference. Major changes coming right after OOW. They could cut the ECA & SC... — read more 

FYI - Tried to rollover my 401K into my IRA this morning and was informed by the Fidelity rep that I must wait 30 days to do so. He also told me that my current 401K investments were not available in the IRA and it would be necessary to liquidate the... — read more 

Anyone got updates on whether the WWOps RIF will happen before or after OOW? Do they want to pay us a couple more weeks of salary?

Strong managers who make tough decisions to cut jobs provide the only true job security in today's world. Weak managers are the problem. Weak managers destroy jobs.

No major layoff action this past week reported. Totals remain at 7,000 for current FY18, and at 17,000 since 6/1/2016. Major layoffs across many orbs and geos this coming week reported. Good luck all. If you experience, see , or hear of actually... — read more 

People are leaving Bare metal cloud teams lin big chunks. Last two weeks, people left in higher numbers in Seattle, Santa Clara and HQ.

Are these projects killed?

Who's left...or is SCA a ghost town now?

Now that October is just around the corner, it's probably time to for another recommendation to sign up for FedEx delivery notifications (if you're in the US and think you may get the axe soon). If you don't already have a FedEx account, go to their... — read more 

How many ECAs do we have and how many will be impacted, any thoughts?

Anyone have a clue, as I'm in the valley and want to prepare.

Apparently no one is safe in SaaS ERP. The cuts here will be deep and effect many LOB. The promises from FY17 did not come to fruition. Many thought there would be an upswing in Q1 but to no avail. If you are in SaaS ERP in any function it will be... — read more 

I dont have info on this. Just my hunch. Thoughts? Opinions? Please chime in.

An SVP in the sales org got a heads up from a buddy in HR that his name was on the list. He gave me the heads up too, he's got nothing to lose. Layoffs coming shortly after open world. If Oracle was laying off before the stock price tanked and the... — read more

LE you screwed the pooch, the only thing left is to sell oracle to Dell or private equity, these amateurish efforts by SC and MH are a total flop. Sell and be done!

I also just got informal confirmation of an October ECA reorg. Apparently this is all because of the upcoming departure of HD to SFDC or MSFT. RG then feels he can clean house and have one of his IBM or HP yes-men run this group. It means lots of... — read more

Oracle Cloud Revenue = Free Cloud credits to On-premise DB/App customers, which is called organic growth to cloud.

Rumours are true. Just learnt from a Dir that there is a change coming and possible layoffs !

The sales team was given slide deck and the same old Nimbula console demo. Looks like BMC is dead on arrival.

Recently I've read that the next Solaris was pushed for the next year, but the way things are going currently, the only things that are happening are cuts in both development and maintenance teams and resources. Anybody else thinks that Oracle will... — read more 

The ES layoff audio from 9.1.2017 to be posted in the next seven days for download and all's listening enjoyment. Standby.

My manager said Larry has told ES to eliminate most if not all remaining Sun engineering. A direct order from LE, good luck to you all. The goal is to rid Oracle of most of its direct hardware sales and focus on cloud. Services is next, Oracle plans... — read more 

Does anyone know about Cloud Architects/SE layoffs after oow ? My manager says a re-org being planned

No more SPARC systems showcase in OOW. More Solaris/SPARC RIFs after OOW as everything goes sustaining.

Merger/acquisition with Accenture? The purchase of AMD? What was supposed to fill the other 90 minutes of LE's awkward "cloud announcement"?

The market is getting wise to Oracle. Analysts expected additional acquisitions and investment in infrastructure with strong cloud growth expectations from the September 14th earnings call. Instead they got "organic growth" and a "machine learning... — read more

Internal rumors now saying ZFSSA is going the way of the FS1. Will Larry's self-driving cloud save us?

Looks liked the reorg for the ECAs under HD is lined up for execution. Consolidation of the different management chains for ECAs and removal of redundant management is in play. As far as the ECAs, if you have not been flagged as being ECAL compliant... — read more
