Oracle is one large scam machine! Internally and externally! Both employees and customers are being scammed. Don't work at Oracle. They are trying to hire people, you DON'T want to work there!
There are customers who are clearly growing and have not bought in severeal years. Easy target. If you are growng, take the target off your back and make small consistent purchases.
We don’t care what the customer needs, just how can we double their consumption!
No Surprise. Oracle doesn't treat its customers as relationships to be developed and grown, but pretty pink piggy banks to be cracked open.
More of the use and abuse philosophy so entrenched at Orahole. This philosophy comes straight from you LE!
No Surprise. Oracle doesn't treat its customers as relationships to be developed and grown, but pretty pink piggy banks to be cracked open. They got away with it when they were the only game on town, but not so much now the competition has caught up with - and passed - The Big Red shakedown machine. They had that attitude back 30 years ago and it's only gotten worse.
Don't be afraid of Oracle audits. When we moved to AWS and GCP, Oracle threatened to audit us. They said that they didn't support AWS and GCP, but we open support tickets all the time. We said, go ahead, audit us. We told them about how we manage the licenses, and they backed off.
