I know, I'm still employed, getting a paycheck and health insurance so that's a great thing, but working at O is such a drag now, I just can't stand it. New boss(es), new tasks, a ton of work, the same old "come on guys, we can do it" pep talk even though everyone is completely demoralized. It just su-ks - I almost wish they would put me out of my misery so I can just retire.

@OP I left Oracle in 2021. Left 3 other horrible companies after and living off my IRA as I’m looking at trades. I think a lot of people look at Oracle now as a very dark spot on their resume. The pain goes away the more time passes. You almost laugh that you took anything at that place serious at all. Esp the mgmt. The mgmt there is on par with the worst in tech history and they know it. I don’t come on these boards much any more and I’m so thankful for that. Oracle is done. It’s not a safe place for human beings to work. You get lazy and comfortable and you settle for the lowest bar of an employer.
Be happy that you have job!
It is your life. If you are just going to sit there and take it then stop complaining. If your life is a bummer than fix it. If you haven't figured it out yet...life is hard and then you die.
@OP You can retire any time you like ... if you can afford it.
Quit. Loser.
It doesn't matter whether you work hard or not. Oracle's fate is sealed by the insane bets Larry place on OpenAI delivering $300B to him over the next couple of years, and we all know th bat's not going to happen.
So take a deep breath and live a little.
And btw, keep looking for an exit. Severance will disappear by the time O declares bankruptcy.
