Just a few more days before the January cuts begin. May we all resolve for resilience in 2023.

We've been airing our grievances all year. LJE, SC, JM, SM, and our unethical middle management won't listen, but at least we have an anonymous job board to get us through!

My guess is no, but who would really be surprised? LJE, SC, JM, et al are some of the most callous people out there and deserve coal and large SEC fines. I hope those impacted find the support they need this holiday season.

There's a lot going on at this company, clearly. From corrupt middle management, to uncommunicative leadership around layoffs, to SEC violations, many of us discovered so much more once we landed here. It's only a matter of time until the cr-p... — read more 

Wow - look how far AWS is ahead of the Big O. Oracle was once dominant, now they are an afterthought. And letting LE be the spokesperson reminds me of how sad it was to watch Di-k Clark on New Year's Eve the last few years. No new digital-native... — read more

Will the tsunami hit in January? Will layoffs continue in the new year? What happens now?

Staying here is a waste of time in most cases. This is no longer the company it once was. You need to know when to leave - it is not uncommon for many to realize only when they leave that they wouldn't have advanced in their careers despite all... — read more 

The earnings numbers were fantastic for Q2, but what do they really mean? Going from 1 to 1.5 is certainly impressive, but when you consider that Oracle competitors are regularly going from 20 to 25, the numbers are not as impressive. Stock buybacks... — read more

For all the doom and gloom folks out there, or those who thought that the company would collapse without them …. We’ll the numbers are in. Expect more layoffs ASAP!

I don't know how true this is but I heard that some already have a scheduled meeting with the manager. How many of you have that meeting scheduled? I would like someone to share little more details because I am very anxious and would feel terrible... — read more

Layoffs on December 15th? Don't count LJE and SC out on this one. They'd give you a pink slip on the eve of Christmas Eve (12/23) while you're shopping for gifts if they could get away with the optics. For those of you gone, better things lie ahead... — read more
