Sell or Hold onto RSUs?
I was one of the lucky ones laid off last year. Got RSUs at the mid-80s and still holding onto them. I am unsure as to whether I should sell now that it's at 94-ish. Amazingly the stock is up 25%+ in the past year. Bullish Reasons to Hold: LJE... — read more

No Raises or Promotions for FY24?
I am hearing no raises or promotions at Oracle for FY24. So that will be two years without raises or promotions. Even if they promote/give raises right at the start of FY25, won’t everyone be so far behind market value they will be forced to leave? — read more

Any news on anymore layoffs at the big O?
I've heard certain people in the CEGBU got cut in the last few weeks, Retail GBU and others cut ISR teams and marketing. CX cut a bunch last year and DB OnPrem are dropping people like they're hot. Any updates on any other divisions?
Is that really true?
It is often said that managers normally do not have much influence over who will be selected when RIFs happen, but I find it hard to believe that.
I was laid off three weeks ago
I already have a new job and it came with a 30k raise. There is life after Oracle and it looks much better than in the past.

Accessing performance reports
Is there a place where I can look at my past performance reports?
Very few good managers
Definitely not everyone can be a manager. Most of them here just seem to be trying to break the employees spirit. Why is that? Maybe because nowhere like here is it so easy for someone who does not have competence to be promoted to a managerial... — read more
