#morale

If working here has made you miserable, maybe staying isn't helping you or anyone around you. Constant negativity has a way of spreading through a team.

I don't see much leadership here that makes people want to give extra effort, like it was 20 years ago. Some of the newer leaders even struggle to communicate what they actually want, so we barely have any sense of where we're going. No wonder things have deteriorated so much.

Give someone impossible workloads, constant criticism, and no sense of security. Keep it going long enough and even a happy person will start dreading work and consider quitting.

Until it was destroyed by leadership who didn't and don't care about either the company or employees, but do care a lot about making sure to fill their own pockets as much as they can before this place is so ruined that there's nothing left to pick from its carcass.

A lot of experienced people have either left or been pushed out, and everyone remaining is being asked to pick up more work. The pay doesn't feel like it reflects how much is being demanded from us. Customers are noticing the problems, which only adds more pressure internally. It's a mess all around.

Because all the others have achieved so much, right?

I don't trust them as far as I could throw them anymore.

Has ANYTHING good come of the changes in April? I sit in meetings all day where nobody knows direction, people can’t start a new role because nobody realized their old role was actually important, or nobody wants to be here.

We cut people, teams, domains, and now what? Tech is just an enabling function. We are not builders, drivers, or cutting edge. We cannot even get enablement right anymore. That’s how far we have fallen.

22 mins we shall see if we are sinking or still treading water after todays meeting!!!

Very disappointed that no email was sent corporate wide on remembering 9/11 and celebrating our first responders. Everything else seems to be celebrated or talked about, so this is a HUGE MISS by the company.

Nonstop and credit cards. What a disgrace. Sales down, down, down. Hmmmmm wonder why that would be.

What could have been a fantastic company across many markets has proven that poor leadership, politics, and undervaluing talent can cause damage so deep that it is not recoverable. Ever. The manner in which oracle has operated only cast a shadow and reward behaviors that continue to demoralize.

If you were impacted today my thoughts are with you. The world outside of Oracle is much, much better. If you were not impacted, there's a lot of opportunity out there for good talent. Run away as fast as possible.

Has anyone been told the assessment meeting themes for each rank group by their supervisor? I was shocked when I heard them. What a bunch of garbage.

Please raise your right hand.

I pledge to the greatest CEO in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can’t even breathe.

That I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it any way — I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like he-l like they do. There’s never been bigger cheaters. They don’t care.

I am going to go out and I’m going to get my friends, my family. And we are going to worship Hock on Nov. 3, or we are going to worship Hock before that.

Senior Management, including left over TimeWarner and others not T heritage have sc--wed up. Moral is in the toilet, collaboration is minimal, invocation halted as well as patents. Many yes many critical folks are about to leave end of year and early 2027 with last minute notice due to 25 plus years and treated now with no respect. The part with leaving and critical to the business is factual, they have had enough to be treated with no respect

I survived but I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I have no idea how I'll do my job without so many people who support my role. Whelp, guess if they don't care then I don't either. I won't have any customers to support anyway.

Three layoffs in a row has taken most of the shock out of it for me. I hoped Oracle would break the streak, but chances are I was wrong. It was a good year and a half, I guess.

What is lower- Activity on this site or company morale?

Anybody else getting distinct whiff of ammonia that indicates rising panic among the T2’s ?
Customer feedback must be brutal.

The long credit-card binge bill of leaner-faster-cheaper-ship at all cost ….
must be finally coming due.

Well you all did it! Y’all made MD the worlds 2’nd richest man… from dorm room to board room! And thanks to everyone sacrificing your jobs though layoffs, lack of commission payments, stress and pay for all the 42 years of the business. Hope it makes you all sleep well at night knowing that corporate greed at its peak. You all are just cogs who are and will be meaningless once it’s your time to walk out those doors.

If you believe in working hard, helping your team, and learning from mistakes, you're probably going to have a rough time here. Mistakes get held against people, while micromanaging and corrective action seem to be the main culture.

The company I joined years ago feels like a completely different place now. Everyone seems exhausted, and the constant threat of discipline has people scared to do anything wrong. I've got a master's degree in a field that's usually in demand, but I've applied for 14 jobs and barely gotten any response. I'd leave too if I could find somewhere to go.

I'm dying to see if there is anybody who can say anything positive.

Considering all the other cr-p they've been throwing at us.

The funny thing is that the one thing we all seem to agree on is that we'd rather not be here. That's probably not the kind of teamwork leadership was hoping for.

The people at the top seem to get away with almost anything while toxic behavior is allowed to continue. You can actually see the environment changing people who used to care, as they become bitter and completely checked out. That's the part that scares me because once that attitude spreads, it's really hard to turn things around.

When will it end ugh

On a scale from "mildly incompetent" to "couldn't pour water out of a boot with the instructions on the heel."

I don't know exactly when things changed, but IBM feels nothing like it used to. People are exhausted, nobody has much enthusiasm anymore, nobody seems interested in anything, and the old sense that everyone was in it together is gone. We used to actually enjoy seeing each other and working together. Now everyone's just trying to get through the day. I miss the old IBM.

I've finally realized that doing a good job doesn't protect you here at all. The worst part isn't even offshore teams, it's the local managers and coworkers who dump their mess on everyone else and somehow never get held responsible. They expect everyone underneath them to work themselves into the ground while they get to look good and collect their bonuses. I'm just tired of playing that game.

Please tell me while we were sitting in this smelly, stuffy office, they were not out hauling purple flags to the top of a mountain. Why go all the way to California where there are no Truist banks? They really could have done all that at Stone Mountain in Atlanta, or King's Mountain in Charlotte!

This company is a joke.

RIF started sporadically beginning of September and ongoing...Some received notification early Friday before noon. And some genuine 'volunteered' to be on the 'list'. After I finished work at the end of the day, I felt surreal, sad and somber after leaving the building for ALL the people who were let go, I remember what someone said "all the good things must come to an END"

Little Secret: WF abuses the best & promotes the worst.

Oracle truly has become self consumed as shown by their blatant disrespect for what is such a humble day. Since when did gigawatts become more important?

Our exec leadership should be ashamed of themselves. Not one email, not one thought not even a linked in post.

If any news media reads this. This is the story to tell. This is the story that shapes how they see the humans that work for them. Greed over humanity, tokens before life

Nuff said

I was in a meeting this week and 40% of those in the room were principal engineers or senior principal engineers. Collectively they knew zero about what was being discussed. There was me and one other person who actually understood the technical details. After the meeting he shared that he too had been rocketed to the bottom of the assessments.

Good luck to all once you get rid of those of us who actually understand oil and gas.

We new employees have been meeting and chatting on other sites and with each other. Now that most of us have started working here, we agree with the current employees. The leaders here are terrible and the company is highly dysfunctional and there is no way we are busting our a-s for this broken place. The executives don't have a clue and show us things and decisions that we learned in business 101 that you never do. Many of us are already looking for other jobs and wondering how all of you decided to stay here as long as you did. It is a testament to your efforts because there is no fu--ing way we would. So let me speak for most of us new guys in saying we apologize and you were all right. CDW su-ks and is not an honest nor caring company to anyone.

what a shyte show!

never been part of such disastrous, dysfunctional, unorganized place in my 30 years of corporate sales.

Clown show.

For working heads up even with all the uncertainty about future
All this with the unworthy and incompetent leaders
