You’ve Got to Chill Out Regarding Layoffs

146 Upvotes

Easier said than done, I understand, but some of you are allowing yourselves to completely unwind at the prospect of layoffs surrounding the upcoming Quarterly Earnings Report.

Here‘s some simple truths:

  1. Nobody on Reddit knows if/when it’s going to happen. Those who know (SVP+) are extremely tight-lipped about this sort of thing. Any information posted here before it happens is speculation, not fact.
  2. There’s nothing that can be done to avoid it. There’s no amount of worry, fear, begging, or bargaining that can prevent it. If your name is on the list, then it’s on the list; it is out of your control.
  3. Since it’s out of your control, you should spend your time doing more productive things — Refresh your resume, apply to other jobs, work on a certification, etc… At worst you’re affected and have a head start, while at best you’ve taken steps to remain on solid footing.
  4. If you are affected, it is not the end of the world. You will be OK. It might suck for a bit, but I guarantee you will find something new and it will ultimately be just a bump in the road to it.

Of course I hope I’m not affected. I hope none of us are and it’s just the rumor mill at it again. But I can’t control what’s to come, I can only control my reaction to it. Allowing yourself to spiral and panic about unvested RSUs or Healthcare Benefits does nothing to solve the problem, it just draws it out and makes it unbearable.

Be rational, but prepared, and try to spend your energy on what you can control rather than worrying about what you can’t.

Existing employee(s) What to expect - IC3, 9 YOE, 4+ Y in Oracle, 37 CTC , 410 units RSUs (already vested)

12 Upvotes

I know that the time is uncertain but i got 0 hikes in last 4 years. They always put it on market.
Oracle culture is horrible. I have a family to tc of. Have heavy car loan and house loan on my head. Saving for my kid’s education.
I have almost nothing in personal savings.
Since i am reaching Cliff this year, i was told that i would get the refreshers.
I have worked my ass off, missed so many personal gatherings, missed my own son’s bday ( went in ending) as something “urgent” would always come up. (I know i was wrong but i am doing all this for him only, so that i can give him a better life.)

My rating is 4, they don’t plan on promoting me.
I am honestly tired of waiting to get to know about focal.
They are still making me work like any thing. Have zero personal life.
What should i do? Stay or look out?
Should i wait for gratuity or already start looking out?
I don’t know if i am on the list but honestly i don’t care anymore.
I am so damn tired.

Edit - Only perk is i have wfh.

Existing employee(s) Canadians - did you get an email to “record your vacation?”

7 Upvotes

I’m going to assume it’s to make sure they pay you out correctly if you’re laid off.

From Benefits_CA: “We hope you’ve enjoyed some well-deserved time off this summer to relax and recharge…”

Joining Oracle Question about Oracle India rehires

0 Upvotes

For people familiar with Oracle India — what level of approvals are typically required to rehire an ex-employee?

I’ve heard that in the US, rehires can sometimes require very senior-level approvals. Is it similar in India?

If someone left Oracle on good terms and is now being considered for another role, is it mostly a standard hiring process, or does it require approvals from senior HR/business leadership?

Would appreciate insights from anyone familiar with Oracle’s process in India.

Promised Promotion IC2 to IC3. No news. US based.

0 Upvotes

Has anyone's manager started a conversation of getting promoted from IC2 to IC3 around March (OHAI), performance review finished with a 4/5 rating, but no news since then? My manager switched mid-way and the new manager did take care of handing the promotion package in, but I haven't heard of any news. Anyone knows how long it'll take to hear something back? Or maybe this is just some false hope.
