Cap size useless HR activities with Agentic AI workflows
Oracle is a sinking ship
So many rounds of layoffs in just the last 12 months and zero strategic vision, nothing but cost-cutting bandaids. I've watched talented people walk and mediocre ones get promoted, absolutely no logic behind it. My job search started last week, and... — read more
Why do most posters want Oracle to fail?
I fail to understand that. If you were previously employed with Oracle, but you quit or were let go with a severance, those were the terms you agreed to when you signed up. The severance is actually a bonus because Oracle could have gotten rid... — read more

No incentive to work hard
There's no reward for hard work at Oracle anymore. The raises are terrible, nobody gets recognized, whether you're the best or just getting by, it's all the same. So I keep asking myself why I should even try. The answer I keep coming back to is that... — read more
What is happening with OAL?
Hearing rumours that OAL as org might not exist or will be moved. Is this path to cut more jobs?
Oracle announced 1,200 new CVEs (Security Vulnerabilities).
https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html Security works great since those layoffs! F'ing clowns.
A breakdown of my Oracle managers over 15 years….
Middle Aged white male. No tech skills. No leadership skills. Incompetent and ill advised. Lap dog of VP. Middle Aged middle eastern woman. No tech skills. She lasted 3 mos in our unit after some type of lying to senior management. Middle Aged... — read more

ORCL collapsing. At this rate, Larry will be bankrupted sooner
Larry made a bad bet on AI and will cost him his island and fortune.. His age clearly shows in his lack of judgment to put all eggs into one AI basket and will now be the poster child of the AI collapse. Laying off employees that were keeping the... — read more
Merit Doesn't Care About Your Nationality.
I'm tired of hearing the same lazy narrative that Indian H1B IT professionals are "stealing jobs." Let's settle a few things. Indian IT professionals didn't invent the global labor market. Companies did. If an employer in the U.S. hires someone... — read more
Am I Missing Something About Oracle's AI Financial Obligations?
I've been trying to understand one part of Oracle's financial story, and I may be missing something. A lot of discussions seem to assume that Oracle's remaining financial obligations are heavily tied to OpenAI. But why? Oracle is investing billions... — read more
What's the better option?
If I wait to be laid off, I'll get severance and unemployment (allowed in my state), but I'll be competing with everyone else who got cut for very few available jobs. If I quit, I get nothing but I can have a new job ready before I leave so there is... — read more

Document early
As a manager, I could target an individual employee and make it very difficult for them to remain at the company. However, I couldn’t do that repeatedly without consequences because organizations monitor manager turnover rates, and a consistent... — read more
Three paths forward
All of us basically have got three choices. Stay and take the abuse. Move up internally for a real raise. Or leverage the name on the resume and get a big bump somewhere else while Oracle still means something (it won't for long). Frankly, I don't... — read more

Has anyone achieved running out of capacity with any of the models? Today I just got a message that 5.6-Sol Ultra has run out of capacity. “Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.” So what’s this mean for Oracle and the budget?... — read more

CEO/CFO's - AI token cost needs to drop 90%
And OpenAI has a TRILLION dollars of promised spend with various hyperscalers, Oracle being one of the biggest. This doesn't bode well for AI in general as it's an admission that it's just not that useful, we are NOT "curing cancer" and likely... — read more
Any word from the fy26 10k
Is there a budget for org redesign or whatever they want to call layoffs for FY27
Anyone else drowning?
I'm at my breaking point. We're constantly losing people, never getting replacements, and the work just keeps coming. It's starting to feel hopeless that things are ever going to improve.
$129 Ho Ho Ho
I still think this is way too high though. With the current debt, and forthcoming AI apocalypse, this stock is worth $1 !!!!
VP was just let go
Out of nowhere one of the VPs in OCI was let go and the team under him have no clue what’s going on. It’s this standard practice?
Oracle operations and operation cost is Pathetic
Oracle is very poor in its operations. The management is filled with oldies who don't know how to steer . Every one travels like they boarded a flight or train rather than sitting in driver seat. Need lots of layoff at the top. All EVP's, VP's... — read more

Surely, Oracle knows where the layoffs are going to be in Sept?
Surely, Oracle knows where the next round of layoffs in September are going to be? Probably Cerner, maybe Sales, maybe OCI, other places, if I had to guess from my uninformed internal location. So, why is management letting 150k people just... — read more
