Looks like the cloud strategy plus cutting dead wood has paid off.

I've decided to pack my bags and leave Oracle. I must admit there still are a great number of really good people still at Oracle and I will miss them. In all honesty there are more good people that have left Oracle than remain. I have had a new... — read more 

Seen this movie before, HP went up on MH cost cuts and then crashed into oblivion. Now it's oracle's turn

Whoever made that other post about it hitting $50 is just wrong.

For the idiots posting these last comments, wait until its your turn next to be tossed aside like a Dog and we will see what snide comments are made on here. Hopefully you will continue to have a great like and existence. Yeah for you.

Let's hope this is the end of all the negativity on here from disgruntled ex-employees. Just to be clear, there are no RIFs in progress. There is only strong growth for Oracle Cloud and getting a blue chip on board like ATT means Oracle Cloud will... — read more 

They must be doing something right.

Although I think you let go of a really great person (me) who could have been another 15 to 20 year great asset for you, and although you screwed me and many others who should have been given first rights and re-purposed, I hope your financial... — read more

Whispers only so far as everyone keeping their heads down. Looks like about 5% gone.

Rumors are tomorrow Benelux will be announced.

SC scheduled to get together with Trump on Monday for another tech-Trump love in - why is she going? Complicit!

Hello, Any news about Spain layoffs? I've heard that they are scheduled to be next in Europe and they supposed to be notified short after France layoff announcement.

Looks like another 500 laid off this past week in addition to 500 last week and 2,500 the week of 6/1, so a total of 3,500 so far this fiscal year FY18

Social layoff plans in place for both France and Spain - heard the number is 10% of workforce in both countries but have not had that confirmed. Must be bad as layoff cost big time in France for sure.

Yes New Zealand won both races today! Well done lads! Revenge is sweet! Eat your heart out LE - you're a loser!

I don't want to diminish the pain of anyone who has been or will be RIF'ed, but thus far the layoffs at Oracle have been targeted and modest - not much different than than any other large company that cleans house on an annual basis. I simply don't... — read more 

Ok, it's now past June 1, why are TK, MH, and SC still at oracle? Total waste of money, get rid off them !

Something that should happen but this is going to be a huge mess!

Today Italy got the news 40 jobs disappear. More news follows coming days about details.

I was lucky enough to get out. Just heard recently that layoffs affected multiple lob's. From VP's all the way down. Working for Oracle 'used' to be a good thing. Those days are long gone.

Consulting NA RVP team laidoff -250 strong team vanished. Cloud is the key for survival.

Looks like the layoffs this past week totaled about 500

as part of current corporate wide. CLOUD" training...management is claiming 5 biion$$ annual R&D expenses...what inovation this money is spent on??

Since Hurd joined Oracle in September 6, 2010, Oracles quarterly revenue has been between 8.5 and 11.32B. Its peak was in May of 2014, before the pivot to the cloud at 11.32B. It has not returned to that peak since and it will not again. Hurd and... — read more 

Oracle has not had a good record with supporting women employees. I believe there is a lawsuit against them from the labor department, since they do not hire women. I also read a 2003 lawsuit filed by a woman for s-xual harassment. She was sabotaged... — read more

As everybody who's ever worked at oracle knows,oracle's biggest obstacle and largest constraint is LE - his mindset and ego, and therefore the people he hires. His belief that cloud was just toy delayed cloud development, his view that sales people... — read more 

I know a number of folks (including me) from the GBU's took a hit. Is it as bad as the other areas or were they spared? How about OU? Good folks working in both.

Oracle is trying to muscle in on its incumbent cloud competitor in the most amusing way. Oracle is not aware of the well trained staff onsite at the customer showing the exactly how to migrate apps to the cloud. Instead its plan is a bunch of college... — read more
