Yep, that sounds like Oracle: A law firm with a database division.

They can mark you as "do not re-hire". Here in the US, they need Legal to approve this 1st and they need very valid reasons. In e.g. Spain on the other hand, they don't need approval from Legal at all. It depends on the country you are in.
The only people that came back to my GBU were both two of the most lazy, incompetent people. One is a lapdog manager who does anything the Botox Betty tells him to do. The other is a slob. Oracle is a terrible place for just about anyone.
Went through a few branding changes where 100s of docs needed editing. Thousands of docs sometimes. Some of those old terms need to be retired. Get cracking!
When you leave your manager has the option of flagging you as no rehire.
Nope. They might do something like that, but they certainly won't call it blacklisting. In fact, the geniuses in Oracle leadership recently thought it would be a good idea to have each and every one of the thousands of support employees each spend numerous hours manually reviewing all the hundreds of thousands of support documents in the Knowledge Base to make sure words like white, black, master, etc. weren't in them in insensitive ways and if they were, change them to something more acceptable. Except the change wouldn't be made if the use of such words already made sense (i.e if something like "Account Master" was used in reference to what the object in the software was actually coded to be named, which is not surprisingly Account Master). So far I haven't heard of anything needing to be changed...what a shock that the reference docs weren't filled with words used in racially insensitive ways. Not.
Just another example of how effing useless and st*pid these management clowns are at Oracle.
“ going back and forth for promotions/raises”
Happens all the time!
There is a hard rule that you can't be hired three times. (you can join. leave, and join again, but if you leave a second time you will not be hired again) - this is to avoid people going back and forth for promotions/raises
Yes, they do that. Had someone I knew look into it, said I could be hired if the manager overruled whatever they wrote about me at the time I left. Manager I left was a lying pile of sh-t, so who knows what he said.
Depends on how enthusiastic you were when spending time in the middle of the neverending manager circle jurk session. If you didn't mind being on your knees, you're always going to be welcomed back with open arms.
And zippers.
Get real, who the fug would ever come back here?!?!
When I was RIF'd I was told that I should apply for other positions if I wanted to come back. As a footnote, I never did, but I was encouraged to do so.
Even if your experiences were good (Mine were), don't look backwards. It will never be the same (this is true everywhere) and the only place to go is down. A RIF means life is telling you to move forward. Move forward.
They do only when exit documents state not to rehire
theres circumstances where they might but for most cases, probably not. just got a recruiter asking me to consider coming back
I've known a few that have returned. Managers, mainly. But yeah, look somewhere else.
How could you tell? Their ATS is a nightmare and your CV gets blackholed, which is essentially the same thing. Find some internal contact to refer you if you really want to return to the Hades that is Oracle
yes. for sure
Definitely
I got no responses to any of my applications, so I'm wondering if that might be the issue.
