Who's going to keep this group alive now, assuming Mark Hurd was the original driver of this function?

The layoff moderator seems very determined to remove all post which say anything negative about Hurd. Kind off ridiculous behavior. We all k is lots of people outright hated him and somehow saying negative things about him was ok when he was alive... — read more 

Whom do you vote for next stooge

Curly Howard passed away on January 18, 1952. He was the most loved of the three stooges. His child like antics brought laughter to millions. Many on this forum compared MH, SC and LE to the three stooges. Now like then I propose that the duo... — read more

Elevating the man to sainthood now is just ludicrous.

Not my post, read it on another thread, but I totally agree with it. Hell, even LE thinks Bob Miner was loyal to the people before the company

Someone is trolling this site or Oracle HR made it their mission to keep pushing PR b—s— here to change public opinion.

I was laid off in 2017 as part of the restructuring efforts set in place by MH. I can say that I am better off today as I was forced to learn new technologies and upgraded my skill sets. The severance package was nice and allowed me to tuck away a... — read more

Oracle will be laying off half of the Deal Management workforce by mid November. Jobs are being moved to India once again proving money is the only thing that matters to Oracle.

Stagnating.

Jar Jar never squandered billions, costing thousands their jobs.

Inside information that the layoffs are finished for 2019. But hold on to your hats, 2020 is right around the corner.
