All of these replies are making me laugh, because there is some truth to all of them :)

List of ideas:

1) Oracle fired me to save money, or something? But then replaced me with x number of fresh grad employees who have to be onboarded to my level of productivity?

2) My salary went up and I am much more productive at my new company, which is also a big corp... so theoretically I am more "efficiently allocated" and literally everything was a win/win?

3) But also like others said, it could all be luck and randomness and there are others who get very depressed and/or can't find any work at all?

It's very tough to say, there's no way to predict the future, so it's wise not to attach lots of meaning to anecdotes :)
