I LEFT ORACLE!
After 10 year...(9 of which spent in a great team with a great manager that obviously, being on of the good guys, got laid off a year ago) and after 1 years of nightmare, in a different team with a nightmare manger (he rarely replied to emails or... — read more
The bureaucracy will always slow you down
Oracle is the worst company I've worked for in this regard, and it often seems to me that corporate rule-makers wanted to make our jobs harder here. Here I experience bureaucracy becoming a synonym for stagnation. What are your experiences and how do... — read more
Ethics Line
After two terrible things happened in the last 2-3 mos, I filed two ethics reports. It’s more me leaving a trail and when I give my two weeks, leave them my name. I won’t lie. They gave me their actual names to contact them. I plan on going all on in... — read more
Oracle in dumpster fire mode?
Anybody think that the reason they are so secretive on Cloud revenue and cloud in general is there is very little to report. They simply are cutting costs to the bone and losing good people because they’ve already realized that their “growth through... — read more

Pager Nonsense Latest Genius Manager Move
So working in support for a few years, and never really had any training of substance on anything. Colleagues with experience have mostly left or been pushed out the door. Latest and greatest brain tu-d coming from our excellent leadership is to... — read more
#OracleToo at Glassdoor? Oracle the villain?
Any other ideas? I figure anybody that has had a foot in the place in the last 5 years has something to say and little if it is good. This isn’t just bitterness or complaining now. It is literally systematically holding down wages and actively... — read more
No, you are NOT TOO OLD TO GET ANOTHER JOB!
“I'm too old to get another job in this industry. They want kids who will put in 70 hours a week in other companies. “ Seen in another post here. I spent years thinking the same thing. Years of being at Oracle ki---d my confidence in my abilities... — read more
All Hands Meetings. So ironically appropo.
Just got a calendar invite for the next upcoming all hands meeting. Such a spot on term to use for what most certainly will just be another mgmt circle jerk demonstration. Good lord I hope I'm shown the door before then.
Oracle is no longer a place for a long-term career
This has turned into nothing but a regular paycheck you get until the moment they decide your time with the company is done. That's it. If you had dreams of retiring here, you can kiss them goodbye. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, I'm just... — read more
Anybody Mobilizing #OracleToo yet?
I for one just want to see all the stories. The best was this past yearly cycle where took employees true ratings and knocked them down a peg. In Support you earned a 4 you magically became a 3. A 3 a 2. You were told your true rating but then... — read more
Something to watch for
I just got a new job. They told me not to apply and that it would be a “management transfer” and thus no actual promotion or raise. Nothing. Then last week the person that hired me says “can you find this req and apply to it?” Another scumbag... — read more

Hey Oracle Leadership
eff you you useless clowns.
In 2004, Oracle hires Mark Zuckerberg…
And in 2021 he’s still working in support. I say this to myself cause Oracle is so terrible at recognizing talent and completely blackballing people, they would’ve had Zuck in support answering tickets the last 17 years.
Why do we buy into ORCL's cult of overwork?
Last week I was on the verge of impulsively leaving and giving notice without first having found a new job. I didn’t do it but I prioritized looking for a job again and I think I will accept some less tempting offer just to get out of here. I’m... — read more
Pleasure to work with...
How many colleagues do you enjoy working with? When I first came here I was really fascinated by my colleagues. These were people who were geniuses in their work and I could learn a lot from them. It was a pleasure working with them. With a few... — read more

Oracle = WalMart 2.0
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
No training for you
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
Any reports of layoffs affecting management lately?
Just wishful thinking. Effing manager clowns.
Difference between Oracle and the circus?
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.

Who is to blame for the toxic atmosphere?
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

Depression & PTSD from Oracle
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
Benefits at Oracle
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

Predictions on Oracle Mandating Vaccines?
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…
Raise is just one of many reasons
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
ODC is a joke!
