Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

TG is gone from OCI.

He had to be sacrificed to preserve the current order.

Update posted at the lawyer’s web site. Looks like Oracle realizes it is screwed and wants to negotiate out of court.

Update 5/14/2021: Oracle has asserted arbitration, and that would have the effect of making the dispute confidential until a judgment is rendered. I continue to receive supportive emails from former Oracle employees who are offering to help in any way they can. Much appreciated.

The problem at OCI is they hire for performance and not trust. You wind up with high performing IC6 types who are amazing engineers but really horrible managers. People who can squeeze performance out of a system, but people HATE working for with them. OCI recently hired an unpromotable Sr. Dir. from MS (as a VP) who, in the context of a technical meeting, is a very high performing IC5 but his team sees him as an as----e. (micromanaging, second guessing, bullying, vindictive, manipulative) ... Just because a person is an incredible engineer doesn't mean they're automatically suitable for a career leading people. The US Navy Seals, arguably the most high performing org in the world found that the best leaders are most often NOT the highest performers. In many cases, their best leaders were medium or even low performers with high trust. When you have management that lies to you (a first in my career), who moves the goalposts at the end of the FY, who hits high performers with low yearly ratings as reprisals, who discriminates... well, welcome to OCI. It wasn't like that in the beginning but under CM it's devolved into a complete sideshow.

What was caught in the public eye about Clay and his monkey's behavior is found in the tentacles of people who worked with/for him in the past as well.

It would be prudent that Oracle carefully considers other people who previously worked with/for him that have been promoted and transferred to other areas of the company.

These people are wrecking the ability of the company to invigorate itself competitively - if that's even possible. Few want to work here and more would rather leave (and actively looking) on account of the joke faux "AWS" leadership.

You don’t file lies in court.

Absolutely, the lawsuit is 100% true. Same games played everywhere at Oracle, by the same incompetent management. "Monkey see, monkey do" from the HR person should be Oracle's new motto.

You don’t file lies in court. Ask the former Mayor of NY and his “associates” about that.

If you have spent anytime at Oracle, trying to be successful while watching your top mgmt act like children, you know it’s true. It’s not just the cloud group, the stakes are just higher there, and the Eye of LE is upon them. You suspected as much, didn’t you?

It looks like he was the defendant, so someone charged him with this. Seems likely to me that was someone at Oracle. Maybe in retaliation for the lawsuit.

I believe what is in the lawsuit. I know to much about what was done to me to think anything else.

I searched for the first plaintiff's name, the one that died, in google.

I found a texas county pdf file with what appears to be his name, he lived in texas.

TERRORISTIC THREAT OF FAMILY/HOUSEH 03/08/21

The lawsuit was filed on 3/8/21.

Austin is in travis county.

When I was in OCI, there were lot of complaints on internal Blind forum on toxic culture (which OCI management never used to care). Wonder how everyones reacting now after this lawsuit.

But the way they treated me is miserable and I can never forget.

I want you to know that I (and I think many people who post here) are in the same place. You are not alone. Don't think that it had anything to do with your personally. Oracle is just filled with people who think it's great to use other people and then dispose of them. Some of them get a real kick out of that and they are truly sick individuals. Its not you, it's them.

I understand how you feel. It's one of the reasons I am on this site. It helps to vent and to see others have the same issues.

I wish you and everyone else who has been treated this way, the absolute best.

I experienced much the same, but I was not in OCI. Incompetent managers playing games to sc–w over the other managers and even there own reports. It got so bad, I had to just quit. Then search for a job afterwards. Luckily I had savings to live on for a while.

I was one of the best developers in the area I was in. Like the guys in the lawsuit, I was being lied about behind my back. People told not to work with me, etc.

Oracle is a horrible place to work. The management is all incompetent. I thought that maybe in OCI things were different, as they hired some people from outside. Obviously the competent people they have hired are just screwed over like these guys. Sad that the Oracle management is so unbelievably st—d that they can't just do what the competent people suggest.

The RSUs obviously are saved for the scumbags who lie up the chain of command rather than do real work. Also, sad responses from HR, but that doesn't surprise me.

Nice to see Oracle's inner workings all laid bare in the lawsuit documents. I know from my experience, it's all 100% true. Oracle is a dump run by incompetent s–m.

LE has to be the source. He gave MH a job just because he was his tennis buddy. I think LE gives out jobs to people that do him favors. He has no idea how companies are actually run or what it takes to do actual work. I think he just got lucky to be associated with the right people when Oracle took off. Don't think he ever really did any work. Now he thinks that because he got lucky, that there is no real work to do. Just pass around favors to his buddies. Wonder how some of these people at the top of OCI got their jobs.

The lawsuits are a fascinating read. All too true. I don't see why they stop at TG when they also point out CM as the root cause. He's such a POS. I saw the same toxic behavior in the OCI org that I stupidly went to. The CM direct, MR, in this org was also an miserable s-b and his lacky, my boss, was an inept, inexperienced mo–n that did not care about customers - the words "I don't care" left his mouth often. Sad for a leader of a customer org but when CM wants, there is no discussion. I hope this sheds some light on the toxic culture but nothing will change until LE and SC are gone but when you are making money from your dividend cash machine, why would you really care?

I have a horrible experience with OCI and a victim of a toxic culture at OCI. I came to OCI due to OCI-C merger. Initially, I was told that they will make me successful there. The new management always reminded me of my title and keeps questioning justifying it. They put me in technologies where I don't have a background and at the same time I ran into some personal problem. No one supported me and finally, I was asked to move out. So far this looks OK. But toward the end, there is a business issue that came into the OCI-C area, where none from OCI are able to fix. I fixed the issue in half-day which generated millions worth of revenue. They kept quiet and even then there is no single appreciation from the management. The shameless management took ownership of the technology I brought from OPC and thrown us away. I don't know the status of OCI-C projects now, but the exit is miserable. I am glad that I got the offer from many start-ups and ended up joining one of them. But the way they treated me is miserable and I can never forget.

There is so much information in those filings about just how screwed up the OCI technical environment is, and how Oracle mismanaged their technical resources. Rivals of all kinds - ceos,recruiters, technical architects - will be taking notes. Or they should be.

So sad. I know him during my time at OCI and interacted with him few times. I left OCI because of toxic culture in our team and crappy manager

If you think this BS is restricted to O C I, you would be wrong. This is how Oracle runs its business. A bunch of whiny, controlling overpaid men acting like high school girls.

Exactly. I’ll will add that this is a direct result of the fact that LE is a narcissist, and this is a classic example of how narcissists arrange their worlds (the previous presidential administration is another example). In never acknowledging the good work/worth/performance/value of their children/subordinates/employees/etc, narcissists create combative and chaotic environments where others must compete and battle for attention. The ensuing struggle for the narcissist’s approval helps to fill the never ending black hole of validation that the narcissist requires in day-to-day life.

It is all completely sick, and the resulting organizational behavior trickles down and mimics LE’s dysfunctional behavior throughout all levels of the organization - a twisted and backstabbing environment throughout.

Terrible. I know him at Oracle and I left Oracle due to hard time given by management. Oracle must change the work culture.

That's civil, not criminal.

No surprise, and exactly what most folks have been saying here for a looooooooong time.
