Oracle Swings the Layoff Axe

Re: Oracle Swings the Layoff Axe
#182This makes SAP layoff more sane. At least my friend got about 3-4 months to actually find a job (with severance)

#183Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd choose "none of the above".
Unless you've got a mortgage, young kids, a family member to take care of, or you like to eat consistently. I lot of people talk big about not taking those jobs, but those that actually follow through are extremely rare.
I have all of those things, and I've followed though. I know lots of other quality devs who have done the same. I don't think people like us are as rare as you suppose. It's not like the job market is particularly tight, after all.

#184I was one of the very first groups to be let go early morning on the east coast. I still have access to the blind app oracle channel, and it looks like layoffs are going to continue until September.
No notice, no thank you for your work, just goodbye. DCO is filled with people who do nothing, and have data backing up how inefficient they are, but not a single layoff over there. Too many people were hired just because they knew someone.
From what my ex-coworkers have told me is Oracle slack is freaking out.
Re: Oracle Swings the Layoff Axe
#185I wouldnt be able to say why anyone would want to be working at oracle these days. What compelling reason does oracle even have to attract talent? (Im not being snide, seeious questions)
DCO has been poaching anyone they can get from Amazon/Microsoft by offering higher salary. If you come from one of those or you know someone at oracle you're in.
I know DCO's that couldnt tell you how to find the ip of an interface that make 85k+/yr
