I joined about ten months ago and it was great for the first six months. But lately, everything I do is suddenly under a microscope, tasks feel impossible, and I’m left out of key meetings. My work isn’t acknowledged, and my role keeps changing. Is this just how things are, or is it a sign I’m being edged out?

If there's no stability anymore, what's the point of staying at Oracle?
This is the demonstration that an employee working for a conglomerate like this count less than nothing, it’s just a record in a database, no matter is performance, pretty sad and cold given the myriad of talented people. I hope someone at top level reads this, but Oracle is well known for being a stable company with less than average salaries. People genuinely made this trade off, if stability is not the case anymore then why staying in Oracle. I know this would count less than nothing, but a bit of transparency is somehow due to the hard work!
Bumping this up for visibility. OP: @bk+1k2xjqvcz
are they going to hire everybody back?
So I seem to remember during the Facebook and Google massacres, there were reports that people were just getting asked to come back, not even interview.

I wonder if the same thing will happen here.
If you were laid off, would you come back of asked?
If you have the chance, transfer to FED.
Seriously.
Regardless of department you are in, find a way into the fed space and your life will be so much easier and you 100% are significantly less likely to be laid off.
Sales? It's a smaller team/group and the bulk of your money is made during FBS - which su-ks because you work longer and sporatic hours for a month.5 - but you have almost a guarenteed career long client as they are only Government agencies.
Tech support? Find a way into FIRST. Federal Incident Response Team. It's INTERNAL FED tech support to JUST fed employees and you can't be offshored like corp tech support can and there is no outside tech support bs. You ONLY deal with federal DELL employees.
IT? - It's a smaller environment, less complex, far fewer switches/routers/firewalls/etc... A much simpler IT environment through and through.
Managers - I mean, having been one in the past; I'd far prefer to manage 10 people versus 20? Considering every team in FED is quite small, anyways.
FED brings in a LOT of money to Dell considering the department size. We are valuable and not a single person can be offshored and 99% can't even be outsourced. Dell doesn't touch FED with layoffs 99% of the time as we are so small and, we are the last resort/option.
YES, people can and do get laid off in FED but it's far far FAR less likely than in literally any department on the corporate side.
Plus, you get a cool red badge!
Are any orgs safe?
It sounds like layoffs are happening across the board and by the numbers. Good luck to all of us.
We'll have asset retirement work there for decades! #jobsecurity
The need to unionize
Unionizing is about empowering workers to have a stronger voice in their workplace. At Chevron, as skilled engineers, we drive the success of the company, yet many of us feel that decisions about pay, benefits, safety, and working conditions are made without our input. Unionizing allows us to negotiate as a collective, ensuring fair wages, better healthcare, improved safety standards, and job security. It’s not about being against Chevron but about ensuring that we, the workforce, have a seat at the table to advocate for our rights and well-being. A union is the most effective way to ensure that the value we bring to the company is recognized and respected, while also fostering a workplace where everyone can thrive without fear of retaliation. Together, we can build a stronger, fairer future for all employees.
The thing I find so tragically hilarious is that this "Collaboration" BU is the worst offender for actually collaborating! The Indian Engineering teams don't want to work with the European or American teams unless they are forced to. Then they don't want to share knowledge with them unless it is picked out of them with an axe. The UK teams and the Norwegian teams (ex tanberg) refuse to follow Cisco processes but they have the intellectual property so they do whatever they want as nothing is written down! #jobsecurity
The respective teams then resort to their collaboration tools - i.e. Cisco Spark - and b--ch about each other in private spark rooms, scrums and meetings while nothing actually gets done, and nothing gets released that makes any money. Long may it last!
Just don't make the mistake of b--ching about each other in the wrong spark room as that is going to cause endless problems!! Site leaders and directors don't care about collaboration as they scramble to try and attach themselves to something with a chance of making money so they can keep the wolves from the door for a little bit longer.
