Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Perfectly said

All O does is acquire other companies. There is no vision. It's just a machine, and how we're managed as employees reflects that. Plenty of jobs in O if you look at postings, but there are little to no opportunities to grow into those positions - especially if you're an acquired employee. Getting a severance package is like winning the lottery. What they really want is for us to quit; management by attrition. Still, so many hold on. They don't want to give O the satisfaction of quitting. Either way, O wins. You either quit, or you're miserable. Both are satisfactory outcomes to O. At least if we leave, we get to be happy, find a job where we're valued and appreciated. It doesn't matter if O wins, then.

Snatched from another thread, deserved to be on top.

100% accurate statement By: @V7rG0uH-1urq:

They (oracle) can't buy themselves out of this one though and only the top two or three cloud providers will survive.

You simply cannot magically have the “integrated cloud “ software offerings oracle claims when they all run on their own different acquired cloud infrastructure and platforms ... eloqua is 12 years old and hasn’t been moved to run 100% on the oracle cloud IaaS or PAaS. Net Suite obviously doesn’t use oracle cloud infrastructure. It’s their own and it is NOW owned by oracle. True, but that doesn’t mean the rest of oracles HR, CRM, Service or ERP software as a service has been moved to the oracles cloud. The data centers aren’t even O&O BY ORACLE. They’re just partial leases. Amazon & MSFT own & operate theirs from the ground up in their entirety.

Oracles cloud is FAKE.

Any news about it being a big dominant business is FAKE NEWS.

In the past when Oracle has missed the boat to to lack of executive leadership and planning, they have simply written a check to bail themselves out: middleware (BEA), HR/Apps (Peoplesoft), and enterprise resource planning (JD Edwards). They can't buy themselves out of this one though and only the top two or three cloud providers will survive.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. Reason for not being promoted is because the older employees don't want to quit/retire. And the acquired companies don't want someone else within Oracle from another acquired company...they want to promoted within their silo. Oracle is a good ol' boys club! i.e.,MH likes to get his people from his days at HP/NCR.
