I, for one, are hoping for large layoffs. There is so much dead wood at Oracle that needs to be pruned. The longer the dead wood hangs on, the worse things are to have to work around them.
I think Oracle could revive if it could get rid of the people who take a paycheck home for not doing anything.
One word for you, my friend: "Karma"
A company full of dead wood means a cadre of gardeners that don’t know what they are doing. They hack the tree down and then blame it when there is nothing to burn, or nothing to build with.
Deadwood is not an employee problem. It is a management problem. Always.
Plz do not hope for layoff. Families get impacted and today it is us tomorrow it maybe you. No one joined Oracle to destroy it or become irrelevant. It is the circumstances that have resulted in what workforce is now. People are making efforts to reskill, be relevant and move out. Be kind to those, a small request from someone who is likely to get impacted.
I was let go after 10 years because I asked for an increment. Ora paid me good money to leave. Xxx gave me joining bonus and stock options. Now Ora is calling me back, I asked for 100% increment .

LOL, the RIF executioners form the dead wood. And, this dead wood lives on eating live wood.
Wif on my power load.
I think the dead wood is 90% and the good wood is 10%. The 90% are in charge. They will layoff the 10% first to save their own asses. Oracle will collapse. Maybe there is some recovery possible in the distant future, but not any time soon.
I think there was guy laid off simply because he knew too much about a particular area of development where the management was trying to tell lies about who did what work. Managers have to cover up what they do, and I wouldn't put it past them to lay off someone who knows the wrong thing.
anyone thinking being left being at this company after a large house cleaning is naive. the main issue is the old guard makes money and doesnt want to change (not on iota) - and they will continue they legacy behavior until someone very high up declares things will change
LOL, RIF won't cut dead wood.
