Does anyone know what is going on with Tiger Institute? I've been there awhile and have never seen it this bad.

So this is a joke, right?

Another round of performance reviews with the usual feedback, expectations, and corporate buzzwords… but no focals again?

At this point it just feels like the same cycle every time.

Has anyone heard anything about the possibility of Focal in the US?

I was one of the folks caught in the March 31st layoffs. I actually started at Cerner right out of college, and for the first few years, it was genuinely a great place to work - good culture, real growth, solid people. Then the Oracle acquisition happened, and things just slowly went downhill.

I ended up on the OCI team. Our team kept getting shuffled between leaders after the buyout, but finally landed under OCI. The irony is, the night before the layoffs, I was up until 2 AM fixing a critical bug. Around 6:05 that morning, I got an email, and there it was. For a few seconds, I was just blank. Then I started calling my teammates, and learned that entire team was wiped out. The weirdest part is that I didn't feel angry, sad, or even shocked. I just felt completely blank. And honestly? A month later, I’m still kind of stuck in that numbness.

I have about ~6 years of experience under my belt, mostly Python, then heavy into Azure Cloud and later OCI. I was promoted pretty regularly and had made it to SE4.

Here’s my struggle - I know I should be grinding, polishing my resume, and applying everywhere, but my motivation is completely shot. It feels like my drive just vanished. I’m wondering if anyone else who’s done a long stint at one company has felt this way.

If you’ve been in a similar boat, how did you get your momentum back? How do you mentally restart? And for folks at a similar seniority level, how are you actually preparing for interviews right now? What should I realistically be focusing on?

I know, a lot of questions, I'd really appreciate any advice, or honestly, just knowing I'm not the only one feeling this stuck right now.

I resigned because i got a good opportunity but the reason i started looking out was because my manager told one day that i guess we lost it start looking outside and when i asked notice period is 75 days she said that is something in my hand and this conversation happened with 1 more colleague in n call but when i got the offer and i went to her for early release se refused, denied, betrayed and is not ready to release me in 30 days. I tried requesting, begging, taking, pinging, WhatsApp messages, emails but she will not release by may end it seems and i have to join on 1 June. When i reached to HR they say that manager approval required for early release even if i opt for buyout
My notice period clause in offer letter says: Notwithstanding anything stated herein, your services are liable to be terminated by the Company without assigning any reason, by giving you 75 days Notice or salary in lieu of such Notice. Likewise, you may resign from the services of the Company by giving 75 days Notice or salary in lieu of Notice. Salary for this purpose will be computed on Monthly Base pay excluding Employer PF contribution.

Please help me what is the way out !!!!

Has anyone heard if these will happen ? I know that there has been a lot happening but this is rough
