Hey guys, got this from my old manager. For what its worth he told me MH has been meeting with a number of business partners to transfer what he calls "Heavy Lifting." A great deal of the message is around hardware, but even more so is centered... — read more 

It should be no mystery why MH loves the cloud. MH is know for being an aggressive cost cutter, doing so much cost cutting he does damage to every company he works for. He now has a platform to take this message to all the corporations in the world... — read more

Another last Thursday of the month, another layoff at Oracle - the layoff machine is up and running again after the Holidays. Looks like 500 people this time in Fusion Apps, PeopleSoft and JDE. That brings the total YTD FY18 to 7,775; and the total... — read more 

My sources tell me that there were layoffs last Friday at the old PeopleSoft campus. Reason given was that they opened a new office in Mexico in the same timezone with cheaper people. Anyone affected?

Confused, as I see comments here that Oracle layed off every one... but then I still see Solaris developers tweeting, and now BLOGs about a new release coming soon? What’s the real story here?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/26/oracle_netsuite_deal_lawsuit_conflict_interest/ What a surprise. Enjoy!

Couple of my friends got affected ., they are in financials Fusion Apps Org , surely there will be more people . They were told today morning by their manager Usual package as with every layoff

Looks like RG is taking one out of his mentor MH's playbook. Apparently he is having the same inappropriate relationship like the one that got NH thrown out of HP. There is only so long that HR/PR departments can keep something like this one quiet.

Alot of folks look at a prospective employer on glassdoor.com. We should help people "wake up and smell the coffee"!
