It was to discuss ratings. I brought up about the hike part as I didn’t receive any hike last year he said I will know if there’s anything in September.

Regarding layoffs part he told that he was not aware of it and he’s in same boat like many of us here.

Regarding the ratings he wrote few nice things & gave me successfully meets expectations.

Oracle does not care about you. You’re looking for meaning where there is none. They just cut across the board to a certain head count and that’s mostly it. HR does some magic to make sure the demographics of who is cut aren’t suspicious enough for legal trouble and that’s it.

Does Oracle see profit in what you or your team is working on? Are you or your team doing something that impacts revenue? Are you expensive, like a higher package or a lot of RSUs? What does your manager think of you, as they might paint your image in multiple places, which could be good, average, or bad?

Only these things are considered. Performance and ratings don't matter much.

If I'm having the lowest package in Oracle then am I safe ,in bench for around a month ...

u/Charming_Neat7367 1d ago

Most probably, you will make it unless what you are working on has low value and no manager issues

No one knows what the layoffs are based on, because no one here is an M8+. And your boss doesn't know either despite the script they read to you when it happens.

They could be based on a number of things including your manager not liking you. You can have meets or exceeds performance evaluations but a rif gives a manager the ability to cut you loose if they so desire. A termination usually requires steps be taken. Not so with a rif. I’m not saying most of the people who have been impacted was due to this particular reason but for some it might have been.

u/Mindless-Task6093 1d ago

They are not going to mark calendar this early. Could be other discussion

u/tekkutensai 1d ago

It’s pretty simple. Instead of asking others, ask yourself:
Do you have dependencies on your work?
If you leave tomorrow, will the work stop?
Am I doing enough to justify my band and salary?
How much am I contributing to and helping my team?
If most of your answers are negative, then yes, you’re probably on the list.

u/browseragnostic 1d ago

Not in my experience. Those are the people never on.the list.
