            <title>Oracle : 30k fired amidst 95% profit surge</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5560410</link>
            <description>It sounded, at first, like a cruel, early April Fool’s joke. But in reality, tech giant Oracle reportedly emailed workers at 6 a.m. on March 31 to deliver digital pink slips (1).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We are sharing some difficult news regarding your position,” the email sent to staff, and reviewed by Business Insider, said. “After careful consideration of Oracle&amp;#39;s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change. As a result, today is your last working day” (2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s unclear exactly how many employees lost their jobs, with reports ranging from 10,000 (3) to 30,000 (4). The latter would represent almost 19% of the company’s 162,000 workers (5). Moneywise reached out to Oracle for clarification about the number of job cuts, and the reasons behind them, but was told that “Oracle declines comment.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the laid off employees, Nina Lewis, who served as a security alert manager, posted on LinkedIn after receiving the notice, writing, “after 34 (33 of them great) years at Oracle, I join the 30,000 or so laid off today. Quite a shock.” She added that “It seems layoffs follow an algorithm of high level individual contributors and mid-level managers - especially those with outstanding stock options” (6).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The layoffs came after Oracle — which was co-founded by billionaire Larry Ellison, who also serves as its executive chairman — posted a 95% net income increase last quarter, to the tune of just over &amp;#036;6 billion (7). The company’s stock, however, closed at &amp;#036;147.11 the day of the layoffs (8) — about a 55% fall from its all-time highest closing last September at &amp;#036;326.90.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oracle is, as Bloomberg noted (9), attempting to manage “a cash crunch from a massive AI data center expansion effort” in its pivot to compete with Amazon and power AI infrastructure for companies like OpenAI — with which it signed a &amp;#036;300 billion agreement last year (10). It’s also been reported that Oracle’s borrowing costs have doubled (4) as banks back off of financing the data center expansion, while a TD Cowen analysis found that cutting 20,000 to 30,000 jobs could save the company up to &amp;#036;10 billion (11).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big Tech’s AI job bust&lt;br /&gt;Workers in many industries have long feared the idea that AI would come for their jobs. In fact, a March Quinnipiac University Poll showed that 30% of all employed Americans worry that AI will render their employment obsolete (12).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And their fears aren’t unfounded. A 2025 MIT study found that 11.7% of the labor market — including “finance, healthcare, and professional services” — could be replaced by AI (13).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Big Tech, however, those fears are being realized at a rapid pace and are often linked to AI expansion. Tracker websites like Layoffs.fyi and Trueup put Big Tech job cuts so far this year at anywhere between 41,000 and 85,000 — the latter amounting to nearly 1,000 layoffs a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oracle’s cuts came shortly after CEO Mike Sicilia praised AI coding tools “enabling smaller engineering teams to deliver more complete solutions” (14).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazon, meanwhile, laid off 16,000 corporate workers in January — which followed the 14,000 jobs it cut last October (15) — after CEO Andy Jassy admitted in a memo to staff that AI “will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains&amp;quot; (16).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Dell cut 11,000 jobs as of the end of January, which some attributed to eventual AI modernization (17), while Block Inc. linked its more than 4,000 February cuts to AI (18). Meta’s AI focus is said to be behind its decision to lay off roughly 700 employees in March (19), as Atlassian laid off 1,600 employees that same month, ahead of further AI investments (20).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last year, Microsoft laid off at least 15,000 employees amidst speculation of a shift toward more AI automation and tools (21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[COLOR=red]SOURCE[COLOR=red] &lt;a href='https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/oracle-fired-30-000-workers-174000364.html?guccounter=1' target='_blank'&gt;https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/ar...ml?guccounter=1&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Harassment at Work is a crime</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5532533</link>
            <description>🚨 Effective 11 July 2025: Harassment at Work Is a Crime&lt;br /&gt;With the enforcement of Act A1750, several workplace behaviors are now officially criminal offences under Malaysian law. This isn&amp;#39;t just about HR policies anymore — it&amp;#39;s enforceable by law and punishable in court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🧑‍⚖ What is Now Considered a Criminal Offence at Work?&lt;br /&gt;✅ Harassing someone — Any form of repeated, unwanted attention or behavior that causes fear or distress ✅ Cyberbullying or public shaming — Mocking, insulting, or humiliating colleagues in group chats, emails, or social media ✅ Doxing (sharing private information) — Spreading someone’s personal data (e.g., phone number, address, photos) without consent ✅ Causing emotional distress — Actions that cause someone to feel so pressured that it could lead to self-harm or breakdowns&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📌 Key Point:&lt;br /&gt;These acts don’t need to be physical. Even words, messages, or digital posts that are abusive, threatening, insulting, or cause someone to feel unsafe, distressed, or humiliated can land you in legal trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;⚠ Important for All Employees &amp;amp; Employers:&lt;br /&gt;This law applies within and outside working hours if the harassment is work-related.&lt;br /&gt;Saying “it was just a joke” is not a valid excuse anymore.&lt;br /&gt;Managers, HR personnel, and team leads should take proactive steps to address toxic behavior, or they too may face scrutiny for inaction.&lt;br /&gt;🧘‍♀ Bottom Line:&lt;br /&gt;Malaysia is taking workplace harassment seriously. If you&amp;#39;re in a professional setting, watch your words and actions — especially online. The &amp;quot;just joking&amp;quot; era is over.</description>

            <description>&lt;b&gt;Private sector folks love to call government servants “lazy.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They sneer at our 8-to-5 hours, scoff at our pensions, and act like their burnout is some kind of gold medal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think waking up at 6am, battling traffic, working till 9pm, skipping lunch, replying emails on weekends, and still being “on standby” during your child’s birthday party makes you superior?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn’t.&lt;br /&gt;It makes you exploited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But sure  keep calling us “relax”.&lt;br /&gt;Keep acting like we’re the ones who are out of touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because while you’re out here chasing meaningless KPIs, impressing middle managers who’ll forget your name the moment you leave, we’re securing our futures with guaranteed benefits, pensions, and actual respect for work-life balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We work. We serve. And when the day ends, we go home to our families  not to a mountain of “urgent but not important” WhatsApp messages from bosses who live to micromanage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, you glorify burnout on LinkedIn like it’s some badge of honor.&lt;br /&gt;You clap for each other when someone says they haven’t taken leave in 3 years  as if that&amp;#39;s not a symptom of a broken culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask you this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time you rested without feeling guilty?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time your company rewarded loyalty with anything other than “more work”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You say we “lepak in the office”?&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we take our breaks.&lt;br /&gt;We talk to colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;We drink coffee without being haunted by Slack notifications and fake urgency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because unlike you, we don’t measure our worth by how busy we pretend to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You say we get too many holidays?&lt;br /&gt;Sorry we actually use our annual leave instead of carrying it forward to impress toxic managers who replace you the second you burn out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We chose stability over stress.&lt;br /&gt;Pension over pressure.&lt;br /&gt;Peace over performance reviews that feel like interrogations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So no  we’re not lazy.&lt;br /&gt;We’re just not stuck in a cycle of hustle culture that confuses exhaustion with excellence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hey, keep grinding.&lt;br /&gt;Keep wearing your burnout like a badge.&lt;br /&gt;Keep pretending unpaid overtime is a flex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just don’t come crying when your body gives up before your boss does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You’re Not a Hustler. You’re Just Overworked and You Think That’s Noble?&lt;/b&gt;</description>
