Despite his repeated warnings of impending mass layoffs and impending doom, Ax-Man has proven yet again that he knows nothing about what he is constantly babbling on about. ZERO layoffs, certainly no mass large large layoffs, anywhere. Oracle is... — read more 

I left Oracle last year. It was a scary time for me with a lot of stress on my shoulders but I made the decision to leave on my own terms rather than wait and get laid off. I left without finding another job which many find to be an insane move (... — read more

I’m trying with all my might to answer this question. Is the new way to promote someone anointing whomever you want to a job opening? Not that I’ve gotten a raise in 5 years, but are they just giving all the extra money to new hires? I don’t get why... — read more 

Its been 10 years since I talked to an HR in Oracle. Are the HRs irrelevant in Oracle, that too during the current situation with on going covid mayhem. If managers can take all the decisions without any prejudice on the employees what's the use... — read more 

Do you think the ethics hotline really serves its purpose to help cultivate a positive work environment? I would not agree. I feel very naive that I filed the report because it had no effect. Somehow I assumed it would have no effect, and now I am... — read more

Ax-man says it's happening now and Oracle will be a different company come next Monday. Anything happening? Anyone? Looks like tomorrow has to be the day, if Ax-man is right.

I had a chuckle over the post in one of the threads below about people in this company looking only at quick wins and ignoring the bigger picture and long term effects. That's right, Oracle has become obsessed with improvements that have immediate... — read more

What's Oracle's COVID policy if an employee tests positive? In this case, my employee is a remote worker

Someone here reminded me of a situation when I had just started working at Oracle. I worked for a long time on a project and made the best effort to finish it, and then a colleague took all the credit nonchalantly. I was in total disbelief and I was... — read more 

Think about it...opening of new campus in TN and moving HQ to TX? With remote option available. Already gave up lease in island parkway...Why would they keep RWS buildings in the long–term. Thoughts?

I started job shopping recently and I was pleasantly surprised at how many available options there are simply because there are so many remote openings. Moving is no longer an impediment for so many positions and I can't tell you how happy that makes... — read more

Ax–man posted big layoffs in April. Still not happening. Maybe they were waiting for the results of the Israel deal? Will those layoffs still happen?

What is the reason

For all those here who were predicting that ORCL would tumble to single digits, may I suggest roast crow with orange sauce, roasted potatoes and braised asparagus?

I'm surprised none of the regular named or unnamed posters mentioned this here today.

This company is no longer a place that attracts talented, skilled and dedicated people, but very average ones who are least interested in their work. Such people think they are something special just because they work at Oracle. I don’t know what... — read more

The redundancy payoffs of last year have paid off, half of those left have now resigned. Those weak enough to still be there and think their jobs are safe are not far from unemployment

HEAVILY weighting the attainment of seven arbitrary certifications, regardless of their efficacy, makes poor business sense. Reward desired behavior, if you will, but don’t punish. People are already walking, but perhaps that was the goal. Think... — read more
