Topics regarding layoffs at Oracle Corp.

I wish people would stop hating on Oracle

It's not perfect but let's be honest, many could do much worse than here. I've been here for more than three decades and I never felt the need to attempt to leave. The only major issue is layoffs, but if you know what you're doing and you keep your... — read more

Cerner data migration

Today's global strategy call was a snoozefest.

Seems like Big O's strategy moving forward is to not work on anything that anyone older than 30 is doing. Guess it's time to move along. And what the h*ll was that clown CM wearing? He looked like Eminem from 1999.

Oracle sucks

Oracle treats its employees like complete dirt. Not doing anything this year and will focus on finding a new employer. I will travel and enjoy the summer while doing the absolute minimum. Anyone else milking it for the summer?

Cloud observation

Quote - “We believe that this revenue growth spike indicates that our infrastructure business has now entered a hyper-growth phase" Is this the same infrastructure business that runs in co-lo sites, rather than their own data centres? The larger... — read more 

Many make surprising progress after leaving here

I know a few people who were undervalued and almost invisible here but they have done great things in other companies. In a short time they became star employees in much better companies. So this company is a hotbed of talent for others to pick... — read more 

The Lord of Lanai

Bloomberg businessweek’s feature on how LE is changing the island he bought, and $crewing over residents and employees. The Tom Cruise story is pretty amusing too. What tools these ultra rich freaks are.

It's nothing new

The fact that Oracle is no longer a company which tries to keep talented and good employees is nothing new. This has been happening for years now. Does anyone remember roughly when this became a place where the most talented are not as desirable... — read more

Tricks used by managers to sabotage competent people

Fortunately, I didn’t have the experience of a manager sabotaging my work, but I’ve heard from a few people that they did just that to them. Supposedly, their competence was a trigger point for managers to sabotage them in some way. Has anyone here... — read more 

Sure is Quiet …

On here, and at Oracle? Can I ask, how many times a week do you visit this site, with any comment? For me 2-3 times a week. I used to come daily, but there is not much happening by way of layoffs.

I don't know of anyone who was laid off. Does anyone else? Something about "internal projects" being cancelled, etc., etc. Anyone? Anything happen that you know of?
