My life has become a he-l.
The VP is micromanaging every minute of my life and behaving I am responsible to ensure he does not get laid off and lose all the RSU he has accumulated in millions.

Surprised Bondy is not yet Out!
Heard he has been fired, and then Jason rescued him...
Now he is back to clean his black belts
@d1 Just saw this and had to comment. What caught my eye was Construction and Engineering. That leadership team is slimy. Two particular individuals come to mind M-Levels. Smile to your face and carve you up from behind then act naive. Micro management and self importance. This buisness and a few , not all. key leaders is one of the most toxic I have ever heard about. I was not directly in the buisness but one of my life long friends at Oracle was - now gone via RIF. The things this person would share with me seeking advice on what to do and how to handle - we're mind blowing. At times some were full ethics and compliance vialoations - but nothing was done. Not only was one of the leaders unprofessional but pschologically damaging to this person. You cant make this stufff up. My only hope is somone eventually adddressed it - they rule by fear an intimidation under the guise of being supportive - it's the worst form of leadership.
@d0 If they're going bankrupt (they're not), no real advantage to voluntarily getting out now. Much more fun to hang around with popcorn until they stop paying you, same difference either way.
@af The job market is too brutal to get out right now. I'm not going anywhere without a well-earned payoff.
Your VP is in for a shock, because ORCL layoffs are rarely based on anything other than whether that person's salary matches the amount they need to save this time around.
"Tell him to back off, or you will let him go down."
Worked for me ...
Tell him to back off, or you will let him go down. Make him work for you!
It's unlikely that your VP is sitting on millions in Oracle stocks. They're probably trying to keep their job
My guess ...construction and engineering?
@OP you're focused on the wrong thing, IMO. Oracle is going to go bankrupt so you need to figure out how to get out of there asap.
@aj HR is there to protect the company not you. Unless you have proof of legal wrong doing and it is open/shut don't waste your time, they won't do anything, worse they will let them know and you will get retaliated against one way or another. Also in most tech hubs HR talk with each other and you can get marked as a troublemaker. Proceed with caution when dealing with HR. HR is not there to ensure good moral behaviour is present at work, they are there to protect the company from legal harm.
Indian VP ?
@OP go to HR
If he/she were doing his/her job, they would not have the time to micromanage. Read the room and get out.
