Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

No massive layoff ever happened in Oracle

no massive layoff ever happened in Oracle, at least if you intend "massive" as at least 10% workforce wiped out in at latest the same week.

I have never seen in 20 years a 10,000+ layoff in a single event at Oracle. the "biggest" layoff I have seen is the wiping of the ex-Sun HW engineering, and even if it was large, was less than 3k people, i.e. less than 3% of the total. not massive at all.

and of course there will never be any massive, huge, big, or whatever you want to call it, layoff in the future. it is simply too far from Oracle's attitude and way to do things.

yes, there will be layoffs, many layoffs, the current workforce is largely oversized for what Oracle intend to do in the future, bt these layoffs will be dilued in time and space.

don't expect any big one, don't believe anyone saying there will be a big one. this will simply not happen.

Probably the only time there will be one is when Wall Street demands one after a big miss. Until then, they'll keep things under the radar.

@TZMUCQX-1yop — My hat is off to you, sir or madam, for brilliantly channeling DJT in this MH word salad about the philosophy of Oracle layoffs! Excellent work!

Never say never. It's still possible that if the sales don't improve, there will have to be a massive layoff. Agreed they want to do small rolling layoffs, but at a certain point, they may not have that choice anymore. There are a lot of people not doing much of anything, just s---ing money for nothing. It can't go on forever.

For the folks at the old Sun group, last year's layoff felt very massive, even if it wasn't 10,000 people.

Look, having massive layoffs — MH has good genes by the way, very good genes, OK, very smart, the he went to Baylot, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a staunch capitalist, all workers should be replaced with robots, if, like, OK, if I ran as a robot CEO, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re like me they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Baylor, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at these layoffs, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — to just do a massive layoff; my leaders explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 40 years ago; they would explain the power of what’s going to happen and they were right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with these layoffs that are really fake news — now it used to be more — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the lawyers and HR people are great negotiators, the human resources folks are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us. They told us we can't have massive layoffs and we have to do it a certain way so posters can say it's never happened. I say that's smart, not sad but smart. I wanted the massive layoffs.

It doesn’t matter if the water leaks out through a pin hole or a gash. It is still gone Those who get canned don’t care if they were part of a large group or not. Neither do their colleagues.

Also, never say never. Tempt fate with that.
