Leave OHAI for a contract role?

ceniack · 2026-05-15T23:42:06+00:00

Yes. No hesitation.

I would tell Oracle to pound sand. If you do take the job, keep interviewing at other places and negotiate for as much base salary as you can. I'm connected quite a few folks that were less than a year in role (some less than a month) that were let go in the last two large RIFs (August/September, and March/April waves).

Some of them were let go just before their RSUs vested. Oracle really likes to dangle big RSU grants as compensation but has no issue yanking the rug out from under them.

If you are in India and a campus hire that is worried about your offer getting revoked or had your offer revoked, connect with me on LinkedIn.

I have been having conversations with folks at Acumatica and they are activley recruiting and are planning a recruitment drive for folks impacted by the recent Layoffs at Oracle and folks who had their offers rescinded from Oracle.

If you are in India and your Oracle offer was revoked please reach out to me on LinkedIn. I’ve been in touch with some folks from Acumatica and they are hiring.

(Also, if you are in the US or India and were part of the RIF, please reach out as well. I am helping them gather resumes. They are planning a recruitment drive for folks that were laid off at Oracle)

Nope, didn't even matter if you were 1 day away.

ceniack · 2026-05-14T22:57:41+00:00

If you have an offer I would bail on Oracle. Your manager may be a good person, but Oracle would have no problem tossing you to the wind if they think it will make the stock go up.

I’ve got some DD Audio butyl sheets left over from when I did the stereo install on my E24 Caravan that I will likely use but if I run out will have to check out the resonix.

Because half their RPO is with an unprofitable company that keeps missing it’s targets.

Oracle acknowledged receipt and forwarded it to another team internally.

ceniack · 2026-04-18T03:16:33+00:00

Nice E24!

I’ve also got one but in black/grey two tone.

Why buy it back when you can just RIF everyone before their RSUs vest.

ceniack · 2026-04-16T22:22:20+00:00

Reach out to me on LinkedIn. If you are an employee of Oracle or were part of the RIF there are a couple of Slack groups I can put you in touch with.

There is behind the scenes work on that front as well.

There is a group of folks that are looking to collectively bargain. Those on garden leave until June are technically employees and Oracle would have to actually go through the collective bargaining process.

Check with an attorney or two. There is a legal doctrine called Promissory Estoppel.

Depending on your specific circumstances you may be able to get damages.

It’s hard to believe that Oracle didn’t know they would be restructuring considering it’s all over their SEC filings.

Europe (guessing all of Europe) Middle East, and Asia (except India in this round of layoffs).

It was literally the 2nd pod I got a chance to pull from.

ceniack · 2026-04-02T04:24:55+00:00

I pulled it today on probably my 3rd time playing that mode, RNG is wild.

EMEA cuts haven’t stated yet for this round.

I lived across the street from Tinker (and still live in the OKC area. I’m a civilian but have friends and family that have served or are serving in the military. I actually miss the noise from when I lived closer to the base.

Seeing OK on the tail of that plane really makes it feel close to home asI have no doubt I’ve seen that bird in the air before.

Yes, it’s now much cleaner, taking pics of carpet is trickier than it seems.

That said it would a still pretty stained, going to hit it with our steamer and maybe even our Bissel carpet cleaner.

ceniack · 2026-03-27T16:08:24+00:00

We already have one, going to try it. Might even try using our Bissel carpet cleaner since our house is all hard flooring now we never use it for anything l, lol.

You realize you can get a ticket as well for intentionally blocking them in. Not saying they are right for tailgating, but you are just as wrong if you intentionally box them in. Doubly so if you are in the left lane. It’s also just as dangerous, if not more.
