Oracle works to keep only 4 countries for support; USA, Romania, India and China. Already Egypt, Spain, Belgium had been layoff. Next is UK, France, Germany. In USA, they will keep only 3 centers and close all the others. Centers are Utah, Colorado, and Arizona....

How do you see this affecting the Canadian offices?
Not sure about the others. But they definitely intend to keep Orlando and Colorado Springs. They are only backfilling to these places.
They're making working there (tech analysts) SO difficult they're hoping to force employees to quit rather than foot the bill for exit packages... And it's working. Australia was just the most recent domino with NO new hires with the experience to take up he slack left by Romania, Australia, etc. they're doing a 'Yahoo' carbon copy. Keep watching as they try to make the Wall Street numbers.
linlithgow RMS support center is next.
Where did you obtain the information? last I heard it was Utah, Colorado Springs and Orlando.
Any rumors as to if / when there will be consolidation of US support centers?
Oracle has a support center in Arizona? Do you mean Orlando? In Florida? There's a support center there.
not just US

Layoffs Support would be foolish. A lot of government agencies and healthcare providers have protocols to have support in the US and certain support folks need to go through background checks. We are not talking about billing and credit card support here where support calls last 5-10 minutes. Companies paying for Oracle software are serious about their businesses otherwise, companies would have picked mysql, postgres and etc for free with nearly non-existence support.
Oracle may well layoff people in the US in 2016 - especially in regard to support for things other than Exadata and Cloud (referred to as legacy and on-premise installations).
I wouldn't be surprised at all.
