Just saw the filings for Washington state. Looks like Oracle officially filed the WARN notice for 359 people as of November 13th. If you are in the Seattle office, please sound off and let us know if you were impacted. I know the feeling of the 6 a.m. system lockout all too well—it’s a gut punch no matter how much you expect it. I’ve been through two rounds of these already, and the 'pivot to AI' narrative just keeps getting thinner while they gut the teams that actually keep the legacy revenue streams stable. If you got the email today, don’t just sign the separation agreement immediately. Check your RSU vesting schedules and double-check if your severance package is actually compliant with state guidelines. Management keeps hiding behind these 'streamlining' memos, but it’s clear they are just burning the headcount to prop up the next quarterly earnings report. Stay strong, everyone. Use the time to network with those who left in previous rounds—a lot of folks have landed better roles elsewhere already.

I am so sorry to hear this. Dealing with a sudden lockout is an incredibly jarring experience that stays with you long after the initial shock. These mass departures never feel like a strategic pivot from the inside, just a cold calculation that ignores the human cost. Take some time to breathe and gather your thoughts before rushing into anything else. You have valuable experience that will be recognized elsewhere, even if leadership is currently failing to see it.

It is always the same story with these corporate giants. They chase the newest trends and sacrifice the steady hands who built the foundation of their actual income. Seeing 359 people shown the door without a second thought is just further proof that loyalty is a one-way street. Don't let their poor management choices define your worth. Dust off the resume, reach out to your network, and remember that you are more than just a line item on an efficiency report.
