How long can you trade or release players without firing the coaches or the general manager. We all know that you can’t fire the owner, but people can stop coming to the games. Stop ticket subscriptions!

It’s hard to understand that Oracle has a negative mgjt style & they make themselves look bad when they defend themselves, degrade others. Positive leadership is not weak as they seem to think. Accountability, motivation, incentives, setting... —  read more

It's true that O is in trouble in several areas, but I wonder if RIFs are the only solution. Leadership seems to think so and doesn't look for any other solutions, which is really frustrating.

Lots of references to the "Oracle Employee Doormat Principal" recently. Take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you fall into this category. Remember that acceptance is the first step toward recovery. Ref @OP+1gWNWn0O - - - - - - - - -... —  read more

To one and all. From the level of activity on this board, it is obvious that some folks are already taking time off. Enjoy, and come back fortified for December 1st. We have much to be Thankful for!

Why? Amazon 10k cut Twitter. 3.75k cut Cisco. 4K I am not happy with the cuts at OCI. Oracle is burning too much cash there. Guys at OCI, you are eating our lunch. We want you to be more profitable so that non OCI divisions can share the profit... —  read more 

It’s hard for me to tell people I work at Oracle. How about you? Customers hate us cause we treat them like cr-p. We are tired and legacy - so 2004. We denied cloud. And we have an embarrassing old narcissistic spokesperson. I only have two years... —  read more 

I hear more and more cases of people taking such a risk. I would never dare to do something like that, especially now.

Heard on Friday from a semi reliable source that the entire leadership (VPs) or Oracles analyst relations team was suddenly canned and the team’s directors and senior directors were put under a VP of PR. This is after 1/3 of the team was let go in... —  read more

What is the employee activity vs employee productivity in your team

Gee, that seems realistic LOL https://accelerationeconomy.com/cloud-wars/how-oracle-will-reach-65-billion-heres-the-plan/

It is unknown how long it will last, but what are your predictions?

In this time let us remember those whose celebration has been darkened through losing their jobs this quarter. They face a subdued celebration and an even bleaker Christmas.

Oracle employees, you can do this too and watch Larry's investment crater. https://twitter.com/HaysKali/status/1593425305464541186

And how many will we have when it's all over?

At least until December 1st.

This is a master thread about Oracle layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

A quarter of the sourcing recruiting team was laid off today. No explanation beyond downsizing. It was not a complete shock considering there is not a lot of hiring work we are able to work on.
