I am refering to a post here (Post ID @HPShMoK-vfg ) that claims 1/4 staff cuts. I left in 2014 and really have no clue what's going on. I know that Hurd loves 'financial discipline' but 1/4 may be a bit too steep...

Are we that pissed at the company that pays us? Disgusting.

Say what you will about Oracle, but I think this is really great: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ellison-donation-20160511-story.html I'm an Oracle employee and I like it. If you don't like it, go elsewhere so more people who really want... — read more 

I am pretty confident this was a numbers game. When I was a pre-sales manager at another tech titan the message from above was cut 10% each quarter no what. I got to a certain point where I was cutting core people (not just the poor performers or the... — read more 

Just got moved to a "License Only" sales team within Oracle which is pretty much a glorified BDC. No more commissions. We now have a pooled compensation plan based on KPIs. I don't get it. I was over 100% quota in my ASR role. Lots of the kids out of... — read more

Originally a Sun employee then to Oracle. Now with 12 years in, I must say it has been a wonderful ride. I have not received any raise but did receive a $1,200 bonus a few years ago. All in all it has been a good 12 years to be with a well managed... — read more 

I left Oracle a few months ago, so here is my take on the culture and layoffs… Let’s tackle layoffs first… There is nothing unusual about Oracle Layoffs, you see a ton of jobs lost on the infrastructure side as more stuff is moved to the Cloud. If... — read more 

Communication @Oracle is poor at best. Often, employees hardly know what is going on throughout the company. Decisions are almost always made with haste without communicating to all diverse groups we have. A lot of lower level employees concern or... — read more

Severance can be reasonable however the management stinks, especially mid management who are just puppets with no power, influence or soul!

Yes, Oracle sucks. Ellison a 1 percenter who neo-liberalizes work offshore. It's time to elect new politicians to punish multi-nationals who are killing american middle class. Good night and good luck.
