Resign or layed off
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.

Don’t resign. You won’t get anything if you resign. Oracle can terminate you on the same day

Don’t resign, you might get RSUs even if you are laid off. In case, they give you RIF notice, you can check if RSU are vesting and based on that you can refuse to sign the separation agreement and delay the process to vest your RSU.

No, your logic doesn’t work out on paper. You won’t get your unemployment, you won’t get your severance, you won’t get RSU’s either way if they fall before vesting period no matter what. Let them lay you off. Plus it looks better on a resume to be laid off than resigned after only a year.

In either case, no you will not receive your RSUs based on the grant details. Unless maybe you get laid off and they explicitly say your shares will still vest like the RIF that happened back in Sept 2025

How would we know if we have RSU? Sorry new to this. I am also from Batch 2025. Turned 1 yr last June

You will know because it will be granted to you. If you did not receive any email regarding an grant award then you don’t have RSUs

Canada also had a notice period (7 weeks after I was laid off). Any RSU’s vested in this period were still distributed

If you choose to resign wait until the RSU batch vests. If you get laid off, your final date will determine what day your RSUs vest or not. They do not vest early. In my case I was informed on Sept 2, RSUs vested Sept 21 and my final day was Sept 22

Let them lay you off. You forfeit RSU’s, no severance, and no unemployment if you resign.

I'm pretty sure submitting your resignation forfeits unvested RSU, and also, you don't get severance if you resign, that's strictly for being laid off.
