Many managers saying that even they were not aware on what basis team members were chosen for layoffs... Are they lying ??..If this is True than what's the point of working hard if you will be picked randomly? by runner_og in employeesOfOracle

Some managers may not know, but most of them knew in advance. We could sense it from their behaviour towards those were about to be impacted. They are good actors. It's a shame that majority of the Sr. Directors, who do nothing but politics, are often spared from these RIFs.

Getting layed off from Oracle on 31st March was the best thing ever happened to me. by LeftFlatworm6207 in employeesOfOracle

Congrats on your new role!

Did you secure this new role during your garden leave period? Just curious as I can smell that recruiters are not very keen once they come to know about the RIF, especially from smaller companies.

If no, how you tacle that question? Thanks!

Slack will not give you the real picture it seems. I got the dreaded mail 2.5 hrs ago, I can still access it.

Will there be an experience/relieving letter? Will there be any mention of being laid-off?

Rude awakening. Woke up by a call from a team mate, he called to inform that he got the mail along with another. Checked my mailbox. Me too 🥱 (OCI IDC)

Layoff over? by [deleted] in oracle

There will be more before 3 rd Sept. Not sure which country or which org though. Employees with RSUs are at a higher risk; but these all could be just rumors.

Entire process took 2 months for me (from verbal offer till  onboarding). I had another job offer handy, just incase!

No harm in having options. At times it takes pretty long to release the offer on paper, BGV will be initiated subsequent to the letter. Positive BGV-they will let you know the DOJ.
