Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

What a waste of time

I finally went to HR about my bully of a manager, and wow, what a waste of time. It went exactly how you'd guess. I laid out everything, and they just nodded along like they'd heard it all before. Turns out my manager had already gotten to them first with his side of the story. I got the whole "we'll look into it" speech, and then nothing. A week later, my schedule suddenly got worse and a project I'd been promised went to someone else. Nobody said it was related, but come on.

Lesson learned: stay away from HR.

Oh wow. This sounds like I wrote this OP. Yep. I too documented everything my VP bully did to me and others. Emails, with very clear bullying, changes to my work, iced out, deplatformed, stock withheld at "their discretion" and devalued as a result. Laid off within a year after a transfer to another sympathetic org that was "in on it" after the bully "tipped them off" I was difficult to work with. NEVER GO TO HR. Your bully will be contrite, do the HR remedial action plan, then come after you with a vengeance.

OP I find it amazing that you didn't know this before you went through the whole ordeal. Pack your bags because you are done here.

You complain too much you will get blacklisted by other companies as well. It is well known that recruiters and HR and different companies chit chat with each other and many times share information that they legally should not. HR is not there to do the right thing. They are in place to protect the company. Most people don't understand this.

I was bullied out of a large oil comapny once. HR is there not for the employees. Remember that! They serve the company. All bs about code of conduct, diversity an inclussoon is a tick in the box, nothing else.

HR doesn’t care about you. They protect Oracle.

I feel you. Several of my peers went to HR over our manager SP and it got nowhere. He still is protected somehow, some way that we just cant figure out. The last person that went to HR about him when he made a pass at her got ghosted and retaliated on hardcore.

It's not a waste of time, you go to HR to start a paper trail that you'll use in case of a lawsuit. You should send HR a nice recap email with everything that was discussed

@OP you take working for O too seriously most of us here to do BEAR MINIMIUM & COLLECT THE CHECK. another thing you need to keep in your mind moving forward whether with O or other company is that HR is there for the company, when you reach out to HR it's like you start an investigation in which you are a potential suspect/wrong person, If I were you I would either search for another job, or sit back relax, do min requirement, and collect my check while developping myself and/or hustling elsewhere.

HR is there to protect the manager and the company, not the employee under the management.

@OP
IMO you made a bad call strategically. If you weren't already you have now been added to the list.
Adios.
