Why would anyone think they "should have" been promoted? There's no logic at Oracle that moves you up the ladder in management. They can hire anyone they want and employees don't have rights to any job promotion. It's just how they do things and it's... — read more 

Why is Oracle laying off some of its most experienced employees and then hiring outside people to fill positions they could have (and should have) been promoted to? No money is saved that way. The new person still gets the high pay that could have... — read more

Heard from folks in China that, when Oracle shut down CDC, it gives out N(1 month/per year) + 6(months) for the severance package, if you sign the the agreement. Any detail for the severance package in US?

There have been several posts about WLS.... one says it's dead.... one says they are hiring. What is the true story. I would guess it would around as long as on-premise is there. Is it used in other areas? What depends on WLS?

On premises and cloud business at Oracle will be split in two. New clearly defined organizations will be formed to support both. I spoke with a friend earlier this week who is a sales engineering manger at Oracle. He said he has heard of a massive... — read more

Many from our region left within a month...are you witnessing the same in yours?

Oracle recently merged support (ACS) and managed cloud services (MCS). Any ideas why? I heard they are now reporting on-premises support revenue as cloud revenue. That would explain this odd merger.

How is Nepotism/Politics in Oci?

Is this a possibility that oracle will trim down and reduce the workforce and is doing this whole thing about splitting global services from the rest to prepare for a take over? I mean is it even a possibility considering the size of oracle?

Taking market share aside and just judging by merit of technology, is OCI technically on par or better than any of the Azure, AWS or google cloud? Ignoring the PAAS and SAAS offerings, that is.
