r/employeesOfOracle

Today Oracle did another round of layoffs with 6am emails. Rumors had been circulating. Today myself along with half of my team were 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

On which basis the layoff happens

And this this time it's based on rank or our managers picks name

Has layoffs started already? If yes which geography?

If you really don’t want to be included in the layoff list, start applying for other jobs from your work laptop, and talk to your manager openly about it. Tell them that you’ve started looking elsewhere because the salary at Oracle isn’t enough for you and you’re feeling demotivated.

The idea is that they’ll know you may leave soon, so they may be less likely to include you in the layoff list, since letting you leave on your own could save them the cost of severance.

And even if you weren’t actually being considered for a layoff, and you later feel like you made a mistake by telling your manager you’re looking elsewhere because it could affect your promotion prospects, you’ve still communicated something important: that you’re feeling demotivated and dissatisfied with your current situation. At least they’re now aware that something needs to change if they want to retain you.

Our manager asked us yesterday for a list of all our AI use cases. I'm guessing this might be to make some decisions.

Now that the implementations are in full swing, is it reasonable to say that people working on the VA project are fairly safe? Our team has a few cards open and it seems like a lot of cards on the Opportunity Marketplace are for Fed roles. I don’t remember too many people from Fed getting laid off back during the big March RIF. I’m just trying to make it til 2029/2030 when we start winding down.

Hey Guys,

I work at OFSS as a Senior Consultant. My manager recently hinted that I'm in line for a promotion to Principal Consultant this time provided things don't go messy like last year

Honestly, knowing how things usually go, I'm kind of expecting a classic "dry promotion" (just the title, zero extra cash). But just in case they actually decide to pay up:

. What kind of percentage hike do they usually give for this jump?

. What is the normal salary range I can expect at the Principal Consultant level here?

Would love to hear from anyone who has gone through this recently.

I have not heard any of these things in Oracle

Came in today and seen multiple DHD accounts deactivated in slack. Not my team but for other teams :(

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.

Curious to know what email looks like?
Also, my Practice manager is now very silent. Not the typical behavior as he is always agressive and sometimes annoying. Something's off. 👀

Eitherway, do you guys continue working on your Utilization? Oracle Netsuite in Manila.

Thank you!

I have never seen people so disconnected in Oracle in my 5+ years here. Nobody cares about any aspect of the company anymore. Some of the recent examples are :

1. Project deadlines slipped, managers and directors are still okay.
2. Any team member resigned. Managers are not surprised, co-workers are happy someone is able to leave, but silently wishing they can also get out some day.
3. Even, the people getting promotions are not celebrating, as they know the jump in salary won't be justified.

It looks like people are NUMB due to constant layoff pressure and no perks.

2025 batch — RSU vesting vs. possible layoff

I’m from the 2025 batch, and we were told our RSUs would be granted on September 8. However, based on the current situation and the work/responses from my team, I’m worried I might get laid off.

Would it make sense to resign instead?

If I resign, I have a 60-day notice period and have already completed one year. So I’d receive roughly 4 weeks + 1 week of pay, which is less than two months’ salary.

Also, if the company lays me off before September 8, would I still receive the RSUs that were promised to us, or would I lose them because I’m no longer employed on the grant date?

And if I resign before September 8 and serve my 60-day notice, would I still be eligible for the RSUs?

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

No one is going to remember LE.
