My time has come. After 22 years here I am scheduled to leave in June. I am in Hybrid Cloud Sales, US based, already had a call today and was given 90 days to look for a replacement job, I will not be doing it - do not wanto to go thru the same game all over again in a year. What they offer? If I cannot find an alternative position, I get separated on 6/27...

Good luck OP, my wife was laid off today as well. She's been in Tech Sales and will try to find a replacement position.
Check out Oracle's board here, we went through the same thing a few months back. Our board is here &oracle
High paid experienced sales folks were let go, a bunch of new guys with no experience were brought in - super low comp.
They feel that the Cloud will be selling itself and that no sales expertise is needed. We'll see how that pans out...

Good luck. You will quickly find that finding a job in cloud sales is not as easy as some will want you to believe. There are some jobs but they are low pay and entry level.
