Is there a way for us to continue our health insurance coverage, including coverage for our parents, after we leave Oracle India?

Currently, the health insurance is managed by Medi Assist, which acts as the third party adminstrator for the actual insurance provider, United India Insurance. I was wondering if there is an option for employees to continue the insurance directly with United India Insurance after leaving Oracle, while also retaining the continuity/tenure of the policy that we have built up during our time with Oracle.

This would be particularly useful since we may already have accumulated significant policy tenure and would not want to lose the associated benefits when we leave the company or Laid off

Why am I suddenly getting all these session invites? This has never happened before. This is already the fourth or fifth session that HR has either scheduled or sent an email about this month.

I’ve been here for the past six months since I joined, and I’ve never received this many emails or session invites before. Suddenly, there’s so much activity within just two weeks. It honestly feels like everyone is just trying to protect their jobs.

This is getting ridiculous. All these HR initiatives need to stop cuz why all these mental health sessions just before the layoffs? This is peek trolling

It’s interesting that these layoff news reports have started coming out as we’re getting closer and closer to the focal period, which is when most existing employees expect or ask for salary hikes. I was wondering because it’s actually quite rare for publications like the Times of India and other major news outlets to predict layoffs at Oracle before they happen. I’ve even come across some posts/articles where it was publicly reported that Oracle was considering job cuts.

I wanted to confirm this with others as well, especially people who were laid off on March 31. From what I can tell, there weren’t really any major news reports predicting those layoffs beforehand. The news outlets only started reporting on them after the layoffs actually happened.

So this time, I’m wondering: what if Oracle is deliberately allowing or encouraging these reports to come out before the focal period in order to lowball employees during salary discussions? Basically, they could give us little or nothing, while we might still feel grateful because we’re afraid of losing our jobs.

It’s human nature, right? If you’re made to believe you’re going to lose everything, then even getting something small can suddenly feel much more valuable.
