Employees affected by layoffs expressed their pain

An employee from the Oracle database team said, "It all happened in less than 20 minutes. A Zoom invite, my manager on the call, and then the HR officer telling me I was being fired. He said it was not because of my performance but purely for business reasons. My system access was cut off immediately. I was also supposed to get stock benefits in February, but now I have lost them too."

Another employee said he attended a meeting thinking it was a business update, but later found out it was a layoff call. "The HR officer only talked about the layoff package," he said.
