@JioCare Details sent. This is affecting our office work big time and we need to look for alternative option if it doesn't get fixed max by tomorrow.

Janhvi, Please Retire.

You had a debut that was basically served on a silver platter. The kind of launch that should’ve done for you what Saiyaara has done for Aneet. It didn’t.

Then came Gunjan Saxena, Roohi, Good Luck Jerry and Mili. All strong roles. Yet none of them created any impact. You went nowhere.

Around 2021-2022, there was a noticeable shift in strategy. The focus gradually moved away from proving yourself as a performer and more towards reducing the length of your clothes. Devara, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Param Sundari and now Peddi, with a random Bawaal and Mr & Mrs Maahi thrown in.

All of this is the inevitable result of an actor whose performances don’t land, leading to a pivot toward a different kind of visibility. However, that isn’t working either. Even though you reportedly tried to pull out of Peddi promotions once you saw the film, it was too late.

Your PR is now trying to twist this whole thing into yet another victim narrative and honestly, we can’t keep up with the leaked chats that nobody cares about. In 2026, these tricks don’t work. You can’t get ahead by forcing the sympathy card.

It’s been almost 10 years.

Nothing has worked.

Literally nothing and we’re tired.

The moment is over.

Please retire.

India’s current heat wave, and the likelihood of a weaker monsoon, are not because of Modi but due to an effect called El Nino.

In normal conditions, strong winds push warm Pacific Ocean water from near South America toward Southeast Asia. This warm water near Asia leads to more evaporation, more cloud formation, and good rainfall, which supports the monsoon.

During El Nino, which occurs every 2–7 years, these winds weaken or even reverse. As a result, the warm water stays closer to South America instead of moving toward Asia. This leads to more clouds and rainfall in South America, while Asia, including India, loses that moisture support.

The key point is that even though the water near Asia becomes relatively cooler, land temperatures rise. That’s because the air circulation changes in a way that heats the land. Rain clouds shift away from India, and the air over the region starts moving downward.

Why downward? Because air circulates in a loop. During El Nino, air rises more over the central and eastern Pacific (near South America) due to warmer ocean water and increased evaporation, so it must descend elsewhere to complete the cycle. This descent occurs over parts of Asia, including India. The downward-moving air becomes warm and dry, suppresses cloud formation, and allows more direct sunlight to reach the ground. With less rain and fewer clouds to provide cooling, heat builds up over land, leading to heat waves.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Oracle Corporation.

Last Tuesday, I sent an email to 30,000 people at 6 AM.

Yesterday morning, I onboarded 1 person at $950,000 a year.

Both were my responsibility. Both were executed flawlessly.

The email said: "After careful consideration of Oracle'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."

I signed it "Oracle Leadership." Not my name. Not the co-CEOs' names. Not anyone's name. Leadership. Leadership is a signature that cannot be fired.

At 6:01 AM, our infrastructure team disabled 30,000 badges. Revoked 30,000 VPN tokens. Locked 30,000 laptops. Wiped 30,000 voicemails. Suspended 30,000 email accounts. By 6:04 AM, 30,000 people were staring at a login screen that would never accept their password again. The email reminded them they were "prohibited from downloading, copying, or retaining any Oracle confidential information."

3 people called the HR hotline before 6:15. 2 asked if the email was real. 1 asked if she could retrieve a photo of her daughter from her desktop. I directed all 3 to the separation portal.

That's data security.

I've managed 11 separation events. This was the cleanest. 30,000 endpoints terminated in under 4 minutes. I sent the email from a template in PeopleSoft called TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The v4 is important. Version 1 had a paragraph that said "we value your contributions." Version 2 shortened it to a sentence. Version 3 shortened it to "thank you." Version 4 removed it entirely. Legal flagged it in 2024. You cannot say you valued something you are discarding at 6 AM. Liability exposure.

That's risk management.

The co-CEOs approved the plan in 11 minutes. I timed it. I always time approvals. Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia. They received $250 million and $100 million in stock option grants when they took the roles in September. They asked about the WARN Act filing timeline. They asked about the restructuring charge projection. They did not ask how the employees would be notified. They did not ask when.

That's executive alignment.

In January, TD Cowen published an analyst note. It said cutting 20,000 to 30,000 employees would generate $8 to $10 billion in incremental free cash flow. We needed that cash. Our AI data center capital expenditures are projected at $50 billion this fiscal year. We had a $20 billion shortfall.

The 30,000 people were the shortfall.

I don't call it that in the board deck. Slide 14 has a waterfall chart. The left column is labeled "Current Headcount Cost." The right column is labeled "Redeployable Capital." The 30,000 people are the bridge between the 2 columns. They are a blue arrow. Calibri 11pt.

That's strategic planning.

1 day before the email, on Monday, our 5-year credit default swaps hit 198.6 basis points. That is the highest level in Oracle's history. Higher than December 2008. Higher than the financial crisis itself. The market is pricing our debt at levels not seen since Lehman Brothers still had a lobby. We carry $124.7 billion in debt on the books. We added $39 billion in 9 months. Our trailing free cash flow is negative $24.74 billion.

I included this in the board deck on slide 3. Nobody discusses slide 3. Slide 3 is where we put the things that are true.

That's transparency.

By Thursday, the H-1B data reached the press. 3,126 petitions. We filed them while scheduling the separation event. Same department. Same quarter. Same PeopleSoft instance. The termination workflow is TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The visa sponsorship workflow is ONBOARD_H1B_STD. They share a database. They share a help desk queue. They share a budget line.

1 workflow removes 30,000 people who built the cloud infrastructure. The other sponsors 3,000 replacements to continue building it. I manage both workflows from the same standing desk.

That's human resources.

An employee posted on Blind that it was "a slap in the face." I know which employee. We have analytics on Blind. Sentiment tracking, attribution modeling, post velocity. His post received 4,200 upvotes in 12 hours. I flagged it for Corporate Communications. Communications sent me a thumbs-up emoji. Nobody drafted a response.

That's stakeholder management.

Yesterday morning, Hilary Maxson started as our new Chief Financial Officer. Base salary: $950,000. Annual performance bonus target: $2.5 million. Equity package: $26 million — $20.8 million time-based, $5.2 million performance-based, vesting over 4 years. We are also covering up to $250,000 in relocation expenses. Her offer letter is 7 pages. The separation notice I sent 30,000 people is 4 paragraphs.

I managed both documents. The compensation committee approved her package on the same call where we reviewed the $2.1 billion restructuring charge. We have recorded $982 million of that charge so far. That is what 30,000 people cost on a balance sheet. The CFO's equity package is 1.2% of the restructuring line. A rounding error. No — less than a rounding error. A rounding error's rounding error.

That's market-competitive compensation.

Our Slack user count dropped from 165,000 to 155,000 in a single day. If you have access to the admin panel, you can watch the number fall in real time. I have access. It drops fast between 6:04 and 6:11 AM. Then it slows. Stragglers. People who hadn't opened their laptops yet. People in Pacific Time who were still sleeping when their career ended. By 7:00 AM, the line flattens. I watched it from my standing desk with a coffee. The line goes down smoothly. No bumps. No steps. Just a slope.

That's attrition analytics.

In Kansas City, I filed WARN notices for 539 people. 85 software developers. 43 systems analysts. 39 program managers. In Washington, 491 people. 270 software developers. 46 development managers. These are the people who built Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We are now spending $50 billion to expand it with different people on ONBOARD_H1B_STD.

The WARN filing lists the separation date as June 1. The email said today is their last working day. The badge stopped working at 6:01 AM. 3 different dates for the same event.

That's compliance.

12,000 of the 30,000 were in India. Bangalore. Hyderabad. Pune. India does not require WARN notices. This is not why 12,000 of them were in India. But it is why nobody has to file anything.

That's jurisdictional planning.

The quarterly earnings call was March 10. 21 days before the email. The co-CEOs announced $553 billion in remaining performance obligations. They said demand for AI infrastructure "continues to exceed supply." The analysts upgraded their estimates. The stock is down 57% from its peak. It was $326 in September. It is $146 today. Larry Ellison's net worth is $188.7 billion. He has not made a public statement about the layoffs.

He has not been asked to.

That's governance.

Trust in the Q4 engagement survey dropped 34 points. I reported it under "Culture Health Metrics." My manager said the numbers were "expected for a rebalancing of this scale." She told me to revisit it next quarter.

I will revisit it next quarter. By then the Slack count will have stabilized. The Blind posts will have cycled off the front page. The ONBOARD_H1B_STD workflows will have completed. The new CFO will have her equity vesting schedule configured in PeopleSoft. And the 30,000 will be on LinkedIn, adding "open to work" above the Oracle logo they can no longer access.

I will be here. At my standing desk. Managing the workflows.

30,000 separation emails sent at 6:00 AM. 3,126 H-1B petitions filed the same quarter. $26 million in equity for the new CFO. $350 million in stock options for the 2 co-CEOs. $188.7 billion in personal wealth for the chairman. $124.7 billion in corporate debt. 198.6 basis points on the credit default swaps — higher than 2008. Negative $24.74 billion in free cash flow. $50 billion in AI capital expenditure.

1 PeopleSoft instance. 2 workflows. Same server.

TERM_MASS_COMM_v4 and ONBOARD_H1B_STD share a database.

That's human resources.

रामानंद सागर के पास कोई टेक्नॉलाजी नहीं थी लेकिन उन्हें राम के व्यक्तित्व की समझ थी. दृष्टिहीन रविन्द्र जैन देख नहीं सकते थे लेकिन उन्होंने अपने सुरों में राम को देख लिया था. आज के डायरेक्टर-प्रोड्यूसर हालीवुड और मार्वल यूनिवर्स की बराबरी के चक्कर में भूल जाते हैं कि राम का पूरा व्यक्तित्व सहजता का पर्याय है. उनको क्रुद्ध-व्याकुल और अधीर दिखाना उनके व्यक्तित्व के साथ अन्याय करना है. रामायण के सबसे बड़े विलेन रावण के चरित्र तक में मर्यादा है.

रामायण की पूरी कहानी ही मर्यादा में रहने की कहानी है. यही कारण है कि बड़े-बड़े वीएफएक्स और सीजेआई से बने रामायण दर्शकों को असहज कर देते हैं. अब तक बने तमाम रामायण और आज का टीजर देखने के बाद यही समझ आता है कि एक बार देख तो लेंगे लेकिन दिल से कहें तो अपनी पुरानी रामायण ही ठीक है. 🙏

I contacted Gangaram Hospital to inquire about the doctor supervising Sonia Gandhi ji’s treatment. I said I am a Congress party worker and wanted to know the caste of the doctor treating her. however, they declined to share the doctor’s name and caste.
they said that doctors have no religion or caste, but I responded that Rahul Gandhi ji has emphasized the importance of SC/ST doctors for the sake of social justice.

I believe Rahul Gandhi ji would have ensured that a Dalit doctor is chosen for Sonia ji. He is seen as a leader who stands for social justice.

Ekana stadium is outside of Lucknow and AQI is not even above 200 here. It is near Gomti River. Near a river, dense fog is common in the month of December. So, only disgrace is you Mr. Sardesai who is twisting facts and presenting a very wrong image of a situation. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Requesting @narendramodi to immediately ban Dhurandhar so that Radhika Apte can bring up a child into this world.

Only haters will say that she herself has acted in films like Rakhta Charitra, one of the most violent mainstream Indian films ever made, and was perfectly fine with it, but is now riding a moral high horse.

Only extreme haters will say she works in projects like Lust Stories and has no issue bringing a child up into a world where adultery and nudity are sold as entertainment.
