Anxious through the roof
I don't understand why everyone here writes that they can't wait to be laid off. If they really mean it, why didn't they leave Oracle earlier on their own? The severance pay is not very generous for someone to stay in a company they don't like and... — read more

I don't want to do someone else's job
