I feel the PATHETIC. Haven't worked properly since August ig, my tickets are pending and I just keep scrolling reddit. I am not scared of layoffs but I am fed up of this current situation where you are in the middle of nothing.

And I hate those who just gives advise to keep off reddit and start preparing. I fking know what I have to do, I just can't keep calm and stick to what I have to do because of the uncertainty. Just want to get done with. Like give an ultimatum that so and so and date there would be layoffs. F have to sit every day and destroy my mental health on reddit and google. It's too much now. Aug 13 was the first time everyone said that layoffs can happen that passed then Aug 21 then Aug 31 and Sep 1, everything has passed and now we have a new date Sep 14. And what after that Sep 29.. and this goes on.

My productivity is lowest, work life is zero, personal life because of this uncertainty has been affected. Oracle hasn't increased salary since 2 years now, and suddenly it's like you are getting hit from every direction.

I feel like I am I made a bad decision to take Oracle out of college. Should have joined a startup, fking killed all my zeal as well.

If you are not managers who decide who gonna be laid off, don't speculate. We get 10 dates everyday. And stop advising people to stop worrying and start preparing. We know that shit.

So this entire chat here is BS, just checked my email and no lay offs yet, what the f we are doing here from last 3 weeks? No one have any news and everyone keep posting layoff dates, why the f you will do that? Either write what you know or go back into Larry's ass assholes

You can’t really keep the employee engaged in layoff stress. You run a company, you have right to deal with strategies, profits and losses, layoffs.. everything and every other thing.. but do it once in a year and rest of the time BEAR it, not through out the year. Absolutely not feeling to workk these days.

Title says it all - what can be done to preserve people's mental health?

Just asking, has oracle ever rewarded anyone with f1 tickets to employees? They do not give any salary hike...

I am 100% sure I will be laid off tomorrow morning in US. To everyone at Oracle affected by today’s layoffs: please remember that this decision does not define your ability, dedication or value. You helped build products, solve difficult problems and support teams and customers around the world—none of that disappears because your employment ended today.

It is completely understandable to feel shocked, angry or uncertain. Take time to process what happened, support one another and recognize everything you accomplished. The knowledge, relationships and resilience you developed at Oracle will travel with you into the next chapter.

A job may end, but your talent and experience remain yours. Better opportunities will come, and this difficult day will eventually become the beginning of something new. Stay strong, stay connected and never allow a corporate decision to make you doubt your worth. I wish you all the best, keep moving forward

There's so much layoff stress, its impacting everyone's mental health. Can't they do this for us.. they care so much for us.. /s

FedEx dropped this off while I was at my new job. WTF Oracle, why would I want to come work for you again, and what’s up with the personalized FedEx letter for what would be a low-quality posting if it were on LinkedIn?

Anyone else noticing promotions/hikes still happening at Oracle despite all the layoff rumors floating around? Genuinely confused right now — my manager hinted at a possible promotion this cycle, but half my team is convinced we're next on the chopping block. Is Oracle actually still investing in talent, or are these just "keep them quiet" moves before more cuts? Anyone in client-facing consulting roles seeing real hikes go through, or is it all frozen behind the scenes? Would love to hear what others are experiencing right now, especially anyone closer to the leadership grapevine.

How much is too much? My weekly usage of ChatGPT and Codex is around $40. Is that too high?

Alright, apparently I’ve volunteered to be the person who says it.
I’ve been through more than a decade of rumored Oracle layoffs.
And every single time, Reddit somehow transforms into the Oracle Psychic Hotline.
“I heard something from another org…”
“My friend’s manager knows…”
“Someone saw a meeting on someone’s calendar…”
“My source says…”
And approximately 20 minutes later, Reddit has apparently determined who is getting laid off, which organizations are being gutted, what day it’s happening, and probably what everyone’s severance package will be.
Except…
Nobody actually knows.
I’m not saying layoffs aren’t possible. Of course they are.
I’m also not saying you shouldn’t prepare. You absolutely should.
But there is a difference between preparing for something and spending your entire day turning rumors into breaking news.
And before anyone decides I’m secretly management trying to calm everyone down:
I am not management.
I’m basically bottom shelf when it comes to career level.
I’m not sitting in some secret executive bunker while someone slides a folder across the table and says, “The layoffs begin Tuesday.”
In fact, most of the layoffs I’ve experienced, I found out about them after they happened.
Some were shocking.
Some were not particularly surprising.
That’s corporate life.
So here’s my incredibly revolutionary advice:
Do the job you were hired to do.
Update your résumé.
Keep your LinkedIn current.
Keep networking.
Look around and see who is hiring.
Have a financial plan.
Prepare yourself.
But maybe stop trying to decode every calendar invite, organizational chart, vague email, and suspiciously quiet manager as if you’re conducting a congressional investigation.
Because unless your source is the person actually making the decision, there’s a pretty good chance you are working with speculation.
And “my friend knows someone” is not classified intelligence.
Neither is “trust me.”
Neither is “I can’t say who told me.”
And no, your neighbor’s cousin’s coworker who once had a meeting with HR is not an official source.
Also:
DON’T BURN BRIDGES.
Unless you know with absolute certainty that you will never return to Oracle, keep your relationships intact.
I know people who were laid off and came back a few years later.
You never know where people are going to end up.
The person sitting next to you today could be hiring somewhere else tomorrow.
The manager you worked with five years ago could become your next opportunity.
Be smart.
Prepare quietly.
Keep your options open.
Take care of yourself.
And maybe step away from Reddit once in a while before someone posts:
“My neighbor’s Uber driver said his passenger heard from a guy at Starbucks that layoffs are happening Tuesday.”
That is not a source.
Prepare for the worst.
Hope for the best.
Do your job.
Keep networking.
And remember:
Rumors are not announcements.
Until something is actually announced, none of us know what is going to happen.
Including the person who just posted, “Trust me, I have a source.”

I need to transfer some files from my laptop .. data is jn gb .

Randomly getting emails about gratuity payout etc (oracle health employee)

Why dropping these randomly info emails 😭

Please stop panicking people.. We don't have a layoff yet and there is no confirmation. All of the comments of people saying people are laid off are lies. Doesn't mean they won't any time soon but till now there are no signs.

I was laid off a year ago. The highest paid on my team but also top performer. All the talks of September layoff is bringing up memories.

A year ago I was reminded of the terrible decision Circuit City made in 2007 that ultimately bankrupted them.

What disgusting reactions to someone getting fired

So lets all pick dates and bet on it 🤣🤣 Once layoff happens people who didnt predict the right date can throw a party for the ones who got the right layoff date. Lets pick a city to meet and have a great get together, i am sure we will have lot of stories to share. I am based in new york but i can travel where majority of you guys live, lets make it funny last few weeks

Oracle HR clearly has seen people talk about this DLA record that got exposed. Now you can’t search for it with “device”. People on The Layoff are saying they replaced the text with “aegis”. They got rid of the termination text. If you still have this record something is up. I don’t have this record. I know people on my team that don’t and I’m reading other people have it.

This was showing for me till last night, showing pushed on 28th Aug. Now it is gone, showing blank.

How about others who were seeing it earlier?

Lat time it happened at 6am IDC on Tuesday doesn't means same pattern will follow again.
