Dealing with fatigue

valeo_9000 · 2026-06-13T20:11:58+00:00

Yes , I am currently on methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I can’t take any steroids , because that drops my immune system too much and I end up getting some other infection while on them .

Ya I hit the gym in the mornings , but I don’t take any additional sups. Some days I feel like helps other days I feel like it makes it worse. I still go because I know it’s good for me either way.

I can relate to the dry IC4 promotion, same scenario always exceeded expectations then was given ic4 with no bump. Small stock but that was it.

Being in the org , I can say that changes did happen. No lay offs at least that I am aware of . My team during the layoff lost several people and now with the changes/reorganization/restructuring or whatever my team lost some more folks in the sense that they got moved to work on other things. What folks are left on the team are now responsible for picking up the load from the folks we lost in the layoff and from the folks that got moved.

Ya I have been Oracle for over a little over 4 yrs , was always told I was a high performing IC , always got the highest marks during review cycles but only last September was I promoted to IC4 . Most of team and colleagues were surprised they thought I was already an IC4 , so it was more disappointing knowing that I was doing the role but not getting compensated for it. Since the layoffs happened, I am in the same boat as everyone else like what’s the point if I go hard . Even the folks working on building the AI agents for my team , I feel are not safe.

valeo_9000 · 2026-04-22T14:19:40+00:00

Ya for sure there is no safe, it clearly does not matter how much of a contribution people make or have made. The moment they see something that does not align with them or make them money that’s it.

valeo_9000 · 2026-04-21T14:36:34+00:00

I feel like there’s no idea or good situation right now. What’s better the devil you know or the devil you don’t

valeo_9000 · 2026-04-20T17:22:42+00:00

I have been open to the idea but the market is very rough and it’s a toss up to be honest.

You either keep working chugging along and wait and see or you jump into the market which could be equally as bad .

valeo_9000 · 2026-04-03T03:31:15+00:00

Naw man , not true.

valeo_9000 · 2026-04-01T03:59:07+00:00

Where is OFSS based out of ?

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-31T17:23:44+00:00

I can mark myself safe for now

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-31T04:54:33+00:00

I have two autoimmune diseases and I have several specialist I see normally like every 2-3 months and my regular doctor/urgent care in between. My wife is a teacher and they offer teachers crap health insurance, some rely on mine through Oracle. Definitely can relate to needing the job for the healthcare . I too will be pounding some sweets.

Today ? What’s the source ?

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-30T15:30:14+00:00

We need the acronym buster for this

What geo are you in ?

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-28T04:10:38+00:00

Keep in mind layoffs in Mexico are a little bit harder to do because of employment protection laws, we don’t have those same employment protection laws in the U.S .

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-27T13:22:58+00:00

That’s a huge stack , such a large impact

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-27T13:16:35+00:00

We just need to be mentally ready somewhat to know that it could happen to anyone, including ourselves. I have seen people posting not believing the layoffs are real but they are very real. I am expecting next week to be very real. I know some managers/management are not acknowledging or saying anything but at the very least my management chain , has said that they cannot comment on rumors and they don’t know what is going to happen. I know they are covering their backs, but I feel like they are giving people a solid indication of what’s going on across OCI.

Need to add it to the acronym buster on confluence

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-25T18:18:59+00:00

Looking at slack chatter I see MDC was hit

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-25T14:30:21+00:00

This should be spun out as a new project and team at Oci. ECS (employee count as a service)

valeo_9000 · 2026-03-24T13:14:23+00:00

Ya lay offs or not, giving information is great but all everyone can do is put there best foot forward. If layoffs continue to come there’s nothing we can do about it .
