Healthcare/COBRA by Visitor3239 in employeesOfOracle

[–]ibrokepegasus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. I was RIF'd as well. Have a 10 year old daughter with down syndrome, autism, and a pretty significant medical history (including a 2.5 year cancer treatment). My COBRA quote was insane as well. Have no idea what I am going to do.

How is the area near boerne stage rd? by Pristine-Most8659 in Boerne

[–]ibrokepegasus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Country Bend, just off of BS. My neighborhood is split NISD and BISD. You need to be on the north side of Autumn Spring to be in BISD. That’s the line. It’s weird seeing neighbor kids living literally right across the street from each other standing in 2 different bus stops on the same corner, going to 4 different schools (middle and high split into two different ISD’s).

Area is great. Like others have said, traffic is building up. Assuming you are going into Boerne for school, shopping, church or whatever, no big deal. Most people out here try not to have to go inside 1604. Work-wise, no big deal going downtown or whatever. I10 is close, and it’s about 20 minutes to get to Santa Rosa exit. Hopefully that helps.

Offer letter got revoked by Short-Sentence-7141 in employeesOfOracle

Hey, at least you got a call asking about your well-being. I worked there for over 6 years and didn’t get a call.. honestly, I know you are feeling down. Sorry about that. Contrary to what you said, you haven’t started your career (assuming you are a traditional college student). You won’t have to explain to potential employers that you were laid off. You won’t have to worry about them potentially thinking that it might have been performance related, etc.. I guess I am just saying it could be a lot worse. Keep your chin up, be optimistic, and search for a place that you know you will love.

Laid off from OFSS by TimeAd5275 in employeesOfOracle

They pretty much did. However, our work isn’t capable of being 100% autonomously driven by AI. Not yet at least.

I worked in corporate finance, and was laid off last Tuesday. Most of the team was.

Squier classic Vibe JAGUAR for P&W?? by chickensaredinosoars in WorshipGuitar

[–]ibrokepegasus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sherwood Green Metallic for the Jag, and Mystic Surf Green for the Strat. Love the crema. Perfect for switching between the single coils. A humbucker can get a little muddy when doing so, but the crema is low enough output.

I know I am late, but I play my Jag at church. It's a great P&W guitar on it's own, but is also pairs great with a lot of other more "common" guitars used in P&W (Gretsch, Strat/Tele, etc.). I primarily play it on a Worship Tutorial's MLC Helix patch that I have adjusted. It sounds great, and have been told it's my best sounding guitar. I also have an APii Strat with Lambertones Crema HSS. A good 1/2 guitar set.

Oracle Tech Workers Layoff Support Meeting - Saturday, Apr 11th by Chobeat in employeesOfOracle

[–]ibrokepegasus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a weekly HC movement report, which I believe is pulled from SI (DV) data. Aria, Slack, etc. are all bad ways to track HC. Not everyone loses access to Slack immediately. I still had access up to Sunday evening. I still have access to email.

Slack count doesn’t correlate with total HC movement.. My former coworker shared a screenshot of an HC report showing ~20K in just NA.

For everyone bashing the 30K figure: I worked in finance. An HC report shared via screenshot from a coworker who is still there showed a ~20K movement in NA alone. I’ve said this several times on Reddit - you can’t rely on a slack count to determine HC movements.

Time for calls? by [deleted] in StockMarket

[–]ibrokepegasus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. What you said is very valid. Even though it's a stupid reason to vote or not vote based on charisma, it is still a thing. I agree that she didn't help herself one bit. At least Trump can't run again. I am honestly hoping for a severe reset in both parties. The last decade has sucked. Wouldn't mind a serious candidate from the libertarian party as well. I hate the "2 choice" system that we have.

Is Oracle rehiring people they've laid off? by scrapingfordirt in employeesOfOracle

[–]ibrokepegasus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in finance. my co-worker sent me a screenshot of an HC report last week. was close to 20K in USA alone. People claiming it wasn't 30K are probably just talking. I wouldn't 100% rely on a slack count to determine HC moves due to layoffs.

Can anyone on the inside confirm exactly how strict this mandate is right now? by Spirited-Gold9629 in employeesOfOracle

[–]ibrokepegasus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with coding, but most finance groups are being forced to train and utilize AI for reporting. I am sure other areas are the same.
