If your manager asks you to take on extra work because of laid-off colleagues, but then gives you a poor rating and laid you out. Sue
If your manager asks you to take on extra work because of laid-off colleagues, but then gives you a poor performance rating for not doing "enough" and lays you off anyway, sue. You can sue as an individual or join together with others to file a... — read more
Sunday in Saudi, it's started now
We've got an email 1:1 appointment with business objectives. I talked to others, at least 10 ppl. 15 years was not enough, for this beast.
What a cr-p company
Right when you think it cannot get more ridiculous they prove you wrong. I dont want to quit in this market but the moment I find anything comparable I am out of this stinker. My manager is still asking us for project updates like she thinks anything... — read more
most likely next week
Most likely next week, that way no need to come to office and you will have 2 weeks paid, plus severance, plus unused vacation.
FY26 Annual Evaluation Overdue
My manager still hasn't provided his feedback on my FY26 performance review, it's still in-progress on him. Do you know what was the deadline for manager evaluation step? Am I a goner?
Age Discrimination
Will this round bring tsunami of law suits. Any remaining US citizen will get kicked out. This is it. Getting rid of even one US citizen will help the org meet the 10% cost reduction since most 90% of the teams exist in India.
Drop your Drawers, Daddy is back!
The implication? $300M in restructuring is nowhere near enough. New restructuring plan headed your way... — read more
So many job openings advertised
Shouldn't those be removed if we're that desperate that we need to lose thousands more to layoffs?
Probable date
The date has to be Monday 24th of Aug. That’s 60 days before October 23. October 23 is the final RSU payout for any RSUs this year. Other 3 dates are in September: 15,19,20. I think this is sound reasoning.

Last layoffs we were seeing tens of new posts everyday I guess most of us just got tired of this Or they already left
1:1meetings set for Monday morning
It's happening folks, enjoy the weekend.
What is the point with FAM, Funded Allocation contracts.
I see them more and more in my country. Public Sector. Customer set an aspirational spend, not committed. Discounts are given on a rate card based on that aspirational spend. What’s the whole point about this? Do you see these contracts in your... — read more
Stock goes up after news of layoffs
I really hate what this world has become.
At what net worth do layoffs stop feeling like a real threat
I’ve been following the news and doing some financial planning. I’ve been thinking from a net worth perspective instead of just cash flow. I get that if you’re already a multi-millionaire, instability from a potential layoff doesn’t keep you up at... — read more
When will it happen?
Next week or the one after?
How to be part of the layoff?
Hi everyone! Been in seat for a couple of years in the sales side. I’ve been dreading work, and frankly want to be part of the layoffs. How can I position myself?
Lowballing offers
A question for others who've been applying: have you been getting lowball offers all over the place? With pay being around 50% of what it should be based on all the factors, including your experience?

This company has gone down the drain
And things got worst with all the h1bs playing politics and amazingly enough h1bs are being hired by h1bs friends and families.
Being thankful to Oracle
We owe Larry, Clay, and the rest of Oracle management a lot. It is easy to forget how good they are to us, we must practice gratitude. For the same reason I tip my landlord I am going to refuse my severance if I get offered and instead write the HR... — read more

Should they layoff H1b before Locals
Oracle is following hidden practice of retaining the H1b's and hiring H1b's always and getting rid of Locals. Either they should layoff H1b's this time more and disclose the numbers or They should hire only US and not H1b's
Looking at another 20,000 casualties in FY27
Like a year ago, except our financials have degraded, our credit rating is just above junk status, operational and capital expenditures are more than our free cash flow, and our stock price has cratered (20K is arguably too conservative).
This happens every year - it's a cull of the bottom 10%
If you're good at your job you have nothing to worry about. If you're not, then well... start updating that resume my subnormal friends
Ai agent on IT support for employees.

any news about coming rumours?
I've survived dozens of layoff rounds by now in my years here
And it never gets easier. I'm now almost hopeful about getting laid off just to put a stop to it. Almost.
Information and Personal Data Check
I got the emails yesterday to confirm all of my personal information, emergency contacts and mailing address. I know they do this here and there, but it also seems like they have done this right before a big cut. I have no basis for this - just my... — read more

What's the minimum number of people we can have?
If the goal is to reach the minimum number of people we can have and still manage to function properly, can we just go ahead and get there now? Just have one huge layoff round, get rid of everybody you want, and then let us go back to work without... — read more
Not sure I understand
I’ve seen the article and all the rumours, but there’s one thing I can’t reconcile. We have some actual history to compare this against: • Last summer, Oracle filed WARN notices in Washington ahead of layoffs — including filings covering 161... — read more
Personal Docs and Contacts
I was let go last September and at least had a Zoom call, unlike the March mass e-mail RIF. Now that Oracle has a taste for e-mail RIF I can't imagine they go back to hundreds or thousands of zoom calls. Either way, if you are on the list your... — read more
H1Bs Petitions
Can the H1B petitions be filed simultaneously after already laying off 21K and now another similar double digit number within 3 months. This is absolute mockery of immigration system.
