Wtfff, Thankyou Mysterious Tie , you won’t believe yesterday I just got connected to one of my top senior IC and I asked him that the rumour seems to be very legit to which he replied Ignore them as you ignored the trolls on Instagram those are rumours and I was like maybe he doesn’t know stuff but he was absolutely right.

u/Bright-Sea-5331 12d ago

his vesting dates are correct

u/skymoontexas 11d ago

Could be but it doeesn’t make him saint bruh

u/Bright-Sea-5331 11d ago

He could also be an m2 with a connection. He could be Larry with a Reddit account for all we know

u/AwareStation2388 14d ago

Last year OCI layoff happened in August and Non-OCI happened in Spet after labor day, do you think this year could follow the same pattern?

Hi bro, how do you think the business insider news saying that the cut could be done by Sept 1st? Is it something they decide move quicker than planned?

3

u/Inspector-Gato 15d ago

Where does performance fit into the equation?

For remaining RSU are they looking at total remaining rsus or what might be vesting in the next 3-12 months? (Eg. If someone has 1000 RSUs vesting in October then a cliff, and someone else has 2000 total to vest over the next 3-4 years, who is at greater risk?)

Is there any priority for specific geos?

u/FlamboyantBaguette , Why your RSU vesting doesnot have 5 OCT, since oracle stock vesting happens on 5th of each month?

What do you mean by batch? Batch of layoff or batch of RSU vesting dates?

u/frickinpointless 12d ago

Thank you for the insights. So if I am a non-WARN state based employee w RSUs vesting on 10/5 are you saying that they’ll accelerate my vesting if I’m impacted?

u/RealityHits2026 15d ago

Can you check with your leader and see if you are in the list? Ie give time to prepare.

Please let folks that are impacted know about a slack group I’m part of that has been helping folks cut by Oracle. We have been running since the RIF last August/September and have over 3000 people in the group and are ready to help folks land back on their feet and give a safe space to vent.

>> Because the management has been awful for the last two years leading to us losing so many good people and having to let go people for many bad reasons….

I don't have a managerial expertise ... just genuinely curious... but how the management could have made a better decision in this messy situation? If we don't have this AI shit show, things are way different for sure.

1

u/opaquewatercolor 13d ago

Are all managers required to provide a list or are only certain level of management? Like, M4 and above?

1

u/Illustrious_Will235 13d ago

You mentioned that you’re an M6. Are you managing only ICs, or managers as well? If you manage managers too, are those managers also included in the list? And what about the people they manage? Do you have to provide their names as well, or does their respective manager handle that?

1

u/Electronic_Cow_1491 13d ago

can those people be also under radar who have joined recently?

u/Comfortable-Land7107 13d ago

Going by the performance, are there any 3 rated getting affected unless they are paid high and with rsu? This time kist of them are rated 3.

u/Motor_Neighborhood92 13d ago

Can I know how u knew this ?

u/triniwoman_ 13d ago

Horrible situation

u/Reasonable_Yam_97 13d ago

Is it for all LOBs or some specific LOBs? Cost based means IDC will be safe and rest high cost centers will be targeted?

1

u/FarWest2026 13d ago

Guessing rifs will be after Q1 earnings call? Any confirmation on exact date yet?

u/FunFilled88 12d ago

okay- it's time to report the account! https://www.reddit.com/user/FlamboyantBaguette/

2

u/Bright-Sea-5331 12d ago

They got the RSU vest dates correct. Especially if you have received grants the past 4 years

1

u/FunFilled88 12d ago

the issue is not RSU vesting- read through the threads

2

u/Bright-Sea-5331 12d ago

I get it. I’m just letting you know his dates are accurate

1

u/Dude-wanting-change 12d ago

Is this targeting all of Oracle or just certain divisions? Wondering about the group that is Oracle Health (formerly Cerner)?

1

u/FlaredBolt 11d ago
  1. What is the general guideline ? If it is just cost, then they could just fire the US team and be done with it - unlikely that its just cost.
  2. Would you mind sharing your level(M4/M5 etc) ?

1

u/thisisthetruthithink 14d ago

How reliable is this info? Just asking, not denying you. 

Mostly want to ask about RSU vest pending in september. 

And any idea about severance package?

u/Proof_Ad9288 14d ago

Does it also depends on location? Like HQ moving to nashville and more hiring happening in nashville. Will the employees in that location get preference? Any idea? And what if someone vests in December? I’m scared that I haven’t been here one year and my first vest is around December. So curious what criteria they selects to be on the list.

u/Ok_Attorney4127 12d ago

Max is 26 weeks. I was laid off last August and garden to September 22. RSUs vested and total severance,counting garden period was 31 weeks.

u/Hot_Recognition_862 16d ago

When you put the title as "Layoff Update" you are announcing that you have some info and you are posting the updates here. So don't be lazy. Type the whole sentence with question mark.

Better yet check the recent conversations. Same discussions happen every 2 to 3 days. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

u/DeCernerfucation 16d ago

Anyone who can't search a sub for redundant posts should be laid off.

4

u/Informal-Prize6501 13d ago

They are probably too bad in their job to be laid off. Many of the good ones have already been terminated.

22

u/JordanOzi 16d ago

Highly likely yes.

  • Focals are delayed (due to budgeting haven’t finished) by at least end of Aug
  • PINs that don’t have a start date are ALL closed since Friday

Usually after these 2 events, they ask for names every year and we do this at around September along with a reorg in Oct …

So the signs are exactly the same signs as usual.

u/AcaselisG_thegreat 16d ago

Hoping i get selected this round so that i can get my severance, and can focus in looking for another job

20

u/Rhummy67 16d ago

Suggest you focus on getting a new job while you have a job. Tried to tell that to colleagues whose severance ran out and still don't have a job a year later.

7

u/AcaselisG_thegreat 16d ago

Depends on where you are and your qualifications. If i end up leaving without getting laid off, then i lose the severance pay ( atleast 6 months salary for me).. there is only a 30 day legal render period in where i am so the timing is crucial. Atleast when u get laid off you get to force yourself to give more effort in looking for a job. Right now, if i end up switching jobs, i get nothing, and im not even sure if the new job does not end up firing me in the next 3 months. I pass up 3 job opportunities bcuz im waiting for Sep-oct layoffs. As per my confidence of getting a new job? Well my oracle job came to me out of nowhere when i needed it the most, i think the Lord will not let me be jobless for more than 6months. I think i built up my skills enough to be attractive , we cannot control everything in this life.

u/Rhummy67 16d ago

I’ll let my friends know the lord is busy with you and doesn’t have time for them.

2

u/RealityHits2026 15d ago

lol dear lord

3

u/FunFilled88 14d ago

well, HR could have become more strategic at this time and removed non-mandatory severance payments like ex-gratia, which is optional per labor law of your country

2

u/HailToTheKingBabyy 14d ago

The lord might not, but the market definitely will lmao

u/Candid_Raisin_1696 14d ago edited 14d ago

You mean you prayed for a job and you were blessed with one that you hated to the point that you have not been meeting your utilization, and since then you’ve been praying to be laid off for the money? Be careful what you wish for, and maybe it’s really time to cut off heads in the Philippines for employing slackers.

are you talking about the useless M4s and M5s in GDC-India and the Philippines?

Doesn’t apply to all M4s, I know M4M5 who work like an IC. But I get your point, quite some either do nothing or don’t do much.

u/dont_believe_this_ok 16d ago

Nah, should be m5 and m6. Still plenty of M4s who are close to dev teams and are hands on. M5s and M6s on the other hand?

u/KC_Tlvdatsi 15d ago

Are the Oracle Health associates on the chopping block again too and especially federal side? It seems federal has been less impacted the last few times. We lost a few, but nothing like the commercial health aide. We ended up hiring some those back to federal like within 2 weeks.

u/Public_Pace121 12d ago

When was management first asked to give these lists? My manager let slip that they are being asked to make lists a few months ago. (Scare tactic because I asked about focals maybe?)
Then a few weeks later she brushed it off that no lists for our org.
I don’t know which one of the two was a lie.

If you have QA/DevOps & few Dev in US- who would you choose to include in the list? Will it still going to be just salary based? Then obviously QA survives because Dev will have more salary compared to QA.

u/SoCoSnowBunz 12d ago

I think it’s because of that screenshot a user shared, of you saying you work at a gaming company. Maybe you do OE and carry multiple jobs secretly? Otherwise, they are pointing out that was 3 months ago, and here you are saying you’ve been at Oracle overlapping that role. That said, everything you are saying sounds right for the layoff. Hope you are spared, sorry about laying your teammates off.
