WTF Is Going On at Oracle?
The Oracle layoffs were brutal. OCI last month. Then a new purge to kick off September.
Oracle newbies got laid off their first day out of training. Some employees said they felt like they’d just gotten traded in for a GPU.
Headcount total so far sounds like it is in the 3,500 range. Slack vanish counts suggest closer to 10% company-wide.
You’ve seen performance-based cuts. This wasn’t that.
“I was one of those people laid off yesterday. Got an e-mail from my boss to meet at 9:30am, titled 'Quick Sync to discuss updates.' He then proceeded to read a script, stating that I was laid off. I was with Oracle Health. Lost my access in 3 minutes, then he was laid off.”
If you’re reading this from an Oracle IP … welcome.
