Got to waste an hour of my life today sitting through another iteration of the weekly team meeting with mgmt. Never stop being amazed at how much useless nonsense these clowns can pack into an hour. Pretty much all of it was going over this year's... — read more 

This morning I received an email blast about how Oracle is promoting an “internal first mindset “ for career growth. Clearly the reality is that people are fed up and leaving, and then their positions are never posted internally, and then more... — read more 

Anyone heard about the AppleToo movement? Can we make one for OracleToo? It’s clearly needed due to all of the harassments and bullying. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/now/group-apple-employees-built-website-184500529.html — read more 

Saying that Support is a mess is bigger than the biggest understatement I've ever heard in my life. This organization is such a sshow. I've been here for five years and had 7 different direct managers, like they're on a merry go round that only... — read more 

Just wishful thinking. Effing manager clowns.

Not much. Workers tend to be overworked and abused in both. One has a clown car packed with clowns, the other is basically a big clown car packed with a bunch of management clowns. Both are pretty much on the way to extinction.

This is the company where the largest number of backstabbers is concentrated, which is a somewhat logical consequence, considering that all the pressure is on the employees. Management probably thinks that it will fix all the problems at Oracle if it... — read more 

considering how many people are leaving?

I am satisfied with the benefits here. They are much better than in previous companies where I have worked. However, as someone who hasn’t been here long, I wonder how they’ve been degraded over time? Someone mentioned that the current benefits are... — read more 

Ok so seems like there is a ton of complaining on this forum about all things wrong with Oracle. No judgement, I'm in that mindset most days too. Today I thought it might be nice to shift gears and think about how to get out of Oracle. What skills... — read more 

Anyone hearing August 26?

I was a happy person before I came to Oracle. That was also over a decade of life ago. I’m a pretty level headed guy, but every time I turn and have to deal with someone in mgmt or some longtime sales person, I feel like they have either no morals or... — read more 

I keep hearing here that the benes at O are so good that people stay for them, even with no salary increases. Just want to point out that lots of other tech companies have benefits that match or exceed Oracle: unlimited vacay, 100% paid medical... — read more 

Anyone know if they dr-g test at Oracle? Asking for a friend.

Seems like we’re far away from going back to office in North America, but wondering everybody else’s thoughts on whether or not they think the O will mandate vaccines like some of the FAANG companies…

Are you considering leaving here and if so what are your reasons for leaving? Some mention they go for a raise, but in my case, a raise is just one of the many reasons I gave notice. It’s simply not worth staying at Oracle for long. This may once... — read more 

I’ve been here since Oracle acquired us and it’s been a mess every dmn day! Nobody still knows what they’re doing and it is poorly managed. Even the new management team are all full of sht!

I was laid off in 2017, I quickly found a new job and have been doing great. I saw the writing on the wall and skilled up. Just about every company is hiring and having trouble finding talent. It is a great time to start interviewing. You... — read more 

This is serious and only for Support but I imagine the rest of the company too based on other team’s attrition rates. They had this goofy acronym called FOCAL (or maybe it is wordplay on F*** Y’all) that is the employee compensation program. Nobody... — read more

I have not seen a layoff post here in some time, in fact, most posts are old, unanswered and created by; ex employees, HR, or the competition. All this when the number of employees is at a high level mark!

AWS Revenues up 37%! What are OCI revenue projections? Forgot, CEO doesn’t break it out.

I was wondering how is it going with oracle PaaS and PSM as well as OCI-C. If anyone has any recent knowledge of that org?

I’ve been with a GBU for some years. What I have noticed is that as we have acquired companies, that company becomes the prettiest girl in the class. I’ve watched people land mgmt jobs (all levels) who should not only not be managing; they can’t even... — read more

How is this thing coming along?

Can anyone confirm whether OCI-C is workloads are completely shifted. Is OCI-C is dismantled or still Oracle continuing with it?
