They need to start building things instead of buying things. In order to build things you need builders. If you're just buying things all you need - and value - are accountants. When all you do is buy things then the builders become unnecessary and... — read more 

Take a bunch of unrecognizable, distasteful trash, throw it in a big bin, ignite and voila! The perfect representation of Oracle. You can't un-see this. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BlackandwhiteSmugDragon-mobile.mp4

It’s hard to think of an acquisition that Oracle didn’t destroy. Some say the company does it intentionally, but I can't believe it. Is it really possible that Oracle acquires companies just to destroy them?

Well the deal with Cerner is closing and it is one of the largest acquisitions we have ever made, $28 B, and will all of the 26,000 employee come over for the Oracle ride? And exactly why did we hold and postpone the buy out date anyway?? The... — read more 

I've noticed a trend where posts call for Oracle's "demise" or people being happy we're losing customers and whatnot...why? If you want to lose your job that badly you can just quit. Why wish for everybody who works here (and that's a lot of people)... — read more 

I used to be proud to work here before terrible leadership moves began to take place, which greatly damaged the company and its reputation. I would like this to be that old company again, full of enthusiasm and positive energy. Can Oracle be great... — read more

When your house of cards falls, and you need to hide, there is always Mexico. I hear people like you often go there. To get there, go "south". If you don't know what "south" is, you'll have to ask someone for directions.

I wrote this a while back: While I was at Oracle, I got an idea for how to solve a problem in the code. The manager I worked for suggested that I submit a patent for it. I had written up the solution to the problem, had sent it to him in an email... — read more 

Yes, you work at Orahole. Yes, you need to record everything.

Hey, developers. Suppose your manager comes to you and says you can copy over someone else's code and file a patent with them, excluding the person who wrote the original code. Maybe they make up some lie about the other person and say they tried... — read more

All of the managers I worked with were doing exactly the same thing. Same tricks and same skillset. Hard to believe, but it is true. I am absolutely right. Get out of Oracle! It is a truly horrific place to work.

Yea! We are number 2! Ignore the leaders behind the curtain.

They barely do anything but they make good money and never have to worry about layoffs. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? The only problem is, to get a job in middle management you need to kiss some major a-s and that's not exactly... — read more
