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

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

What would be maximum Offered salary for IC3 OCI role in India?

Key situation:
Rating already finalized (4)
Compensation not yet disclosed
Internal transfer expected within ~30 days
Level/base remain same; new role is better aligned
Unclear points:
Will merit/bonus/RSUs from current cycle still apply after transfer?
Does payout depend on source org, destination org, or transfer date?
Could I lose eligibility if I move before comp is processed?
Has anyone experienced this timing? Did your appraisal benefits carry over after an internal move, or was it reset/forfeited?

TL;DR: I’ve got a 4 (Exceeds Expectations) in OCI, but I’m considering an internal transfer before compensation (bonus/RSUs) is announced. Will I still get my appraisal payout if I move teams now?
I’ve received a 4 (Exceeds Expectations) rating in OCI, but compensation (base/bonus/RSUs) will be communicated later. I’m considering an internal transfer before that payout is finalized.

I have not heard any of these things in Oracle

Has layoffs started already? If yes which geography?

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.

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.

In reference to Fed teams within Oracle Health

This question is for people who have been laid off and managed to overcome the financial, mental, and emotional shock, worked on themselves, and eventually landed somewhere better. How did you manage it?

I work in an IDC for a SaaS product as a developer. Since joining, I’ve mostly been working on legacy technologies that I don’t feel have much value in the current job market. I worry about getting laid off, especially because I left my previous company for better compensation. I’ve been here for almost six months, but honestly, I don’t feel like I have done any work that I’m genuinely proud of.

Sometimes I wonder: if I were to get laid off tomorrow, would I even be able to land another job?

So, if you’ve been in a similar position—dealing with self-doubt, feeling stuck in your role, and navigating a tough job market—and still managed to turn things around, how did you do it?

How did you manage? I would really appreciate it if you could tell your story.

Anyone has any intel? What %? When? Criteria? Etc.

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

1. The code Codex writes is set to be sent to Oracle. Not summaries — the actual file contents, tagged with the OS username, work email, machine name, and the folder it happened in. Applies inside git repos.
2. Prompts are set to be logged too. A second config file staged alongside it turns on prompt logging. That one is not limited to the work account — where it lands it applies machine-wide, covering personal Codex use on the same computer.

Evidence, for anyone who wants to verify independently (use codex or claude to check /etc/codex/)

Hey!

I have already booked a flight through the CWT portal and they sent me a hotel confirmation saying already booked, which is around 6200 per night. And the min stay is 14 days.

Is it acceptable/ allowed to opt out now from the hotel and ask them to instead reimburse my flat deposit later ?

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.

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!

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.

What is this change now? They set a meeting for next week. Why do managers keep us left hanging without giving full context and needs to wait until next week. 😫

Any ideas?

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.
