All people you that complain about Oracle. Shame on you. You need to support the company as it grows in the cloud space. Do the needful.

No layoff reported this past week. Total for FY18 stays at 7,275; and since 6/1/2016 at 17,275. Hopefully that’s it for this calendar year. Next calendar year looks like it has potential for continued layoffs give the remaining restructuring reserve... — read more 

I had a great run at Oracle but have now left the company. While I am disappointed to have left I won't bad mouth the company as this is such a small industry and word gets around.

Companies can also run Oracle database on AWS, but earlier this year, Oracle changed its licensing in such a way that it essentially doubled the cost of running and Oracle database on AWS cloud. The idea was clear: Oracle wants to make it cheaper for... — read more

Oracle sank like a rock in after hours trading to below $48 on poor forecast and cloud performance. Hold on to your hats, it’s a long way down.

This was posted in another thread: There WILL be layoffs on Monday. The 10 minute calls are already set up. from @QDMPlO8-zwd Did anything happen? Were there layoffs on Monday?

Are there any senior execs left at oracle? Seem like there are more departures every week. Soon it will be the three stooges, some A-kissers and the new college kids, and that will be it. Nobody with any knowledge and experience and Brian’s left.

Any idea when Oracle will resume the Green Card process. I was told six months from September, the time of Solaris layoffs. It should resume on March. Any news on the status and if it still the same?

On the one hand I can’t believe SC will not have the opportunity to run another company into the ground; on the other there is something deeply satisfying about the image of SC and Mickey Mouse, maybe because both are such a joke.

I graduate year but have offers from Uber, Twitter and Oracle. I’ve felt inspired when I see Larry Ellison but people say bad things about him here. Why you bad?
