Dead wood or green wood, the axe is coming. This is a train wreck. Arrogance will never win.
Looks like there are a lot more Linux people under ES than Solaris people. A lot more.
January 1 will see a significant hit among sales. Many believe they will divide it between Dec 1 and Jan 1.
@Q6iuxhb-1gpm : not so sure SPARC/Soalris trimming down is finished... more than 600 people under AA, what exactly are they doing? All the Solaris-related teams under WC, what exactly are they doing?
Nope, I think SPARC/Solaris layoff are not finished, unfortunately.
And, of course, there will be a large re-org in TK org, that multi-thousands people org given the new strategy is now simply useless at best.
Oracle linux does not work all that well, but who knows there seem to be idiots to use it.
Will next be Oracle Linux?
"Sure maybe some trimming of the deadwood, but most deadwood is already gone. The worse is over."
That might be true in the Storage and Sparc/Solaris groups, but what about the rest of the company?
Will there be layoffs in the old cloud division for Oracle as they are concentrating more on BMC ? Mostly looking for some inputs around old IAAS in OPC.
FAKE NEWS designed to get people all worked up. There is no evidence of any large layoff coming. Sure maybe some trimming of the deadwood, but most deadwood is already gone. The worse is over.
They have a budgeted for a certain amount of money to be spent on RIFs for the year. If that budget is what the plan is, then there are a significant number of layoffs yet to come. At least at the same level as the layoffs so far this year. Unless there is some huge surge in the number of customers begging for the cloud, I wouldn't expect that would change.
I think the layoffs on Dec 1 will be large. Possibly larger than June 1 and Sept 1. Given the budget, they should be at least a large as the previous 2.
The hiring is just a smoke screen folks. Don’t think for two seconds the layoffs are over. Oracle is bleeding
It is pure speculation on my part, but historically Oracle has made "adjustments" halfway through their fiscal year and I wouldn't be surprised if they did so again. That would place it around December 1.
The bigger question is whether it would be a "normal" trimming/reorganization or something significantly larger that would be in-line with some of the layoffs that have happened over the past several months. I would believe that it is directly tied to what the results of Oracle's second quarter are looking like and that the executive discussion about that is happening right now.
they are hiring in some locations so I think the layoffs are done for a while
