Stuff flows down
A buddy in support I’m friends with exposed me to this side but it wasn’t until today that I truly felt this way. If my manager wants to treat me like I’m a workhorse, Oracle and my unit doesn’t want to promote or give raises, why on earth will I... — read more
Can you imagine
what would Oracle look like and how would the company function if they were to halve the number of middle managers who do nothing? I agree with someone who said that they should not be blamed for everything because they only carry out the orders... — read more
Everybody might be considered replaceable, but that doesn't mean they should be replaced

How many times have others taken your credit?

Attrition a problem?
Someone said that layoffs aren't occurring because there is so much attrition going on that layoffs are not needed in a lot of areas. I'd like to hear from those people who have left recently. I left a while ago after being screwed over. ... — read more
Same thing each round of layoffs
Don't you find weird how much money Oracle is willing to spend to pay great people to leave the company? Other companies are making sure to keep their top talent no matter the price because they realize their worth, but not Oracle. I'm not sure if... — read more

Why do Oracle layoffs rarely make it to the news?
Not that I think that we are any more special than the next company, but Oracle had its share of layoffs, and from what I can see they haven’t been covered by the media at all. I know that the company tries to keep a low profile in terms that they... — read more
