I’m in month 7 at my new company. It hasn’t been what I signed up for but I know others realize that as well. With that being said, I often times look back at my time at oracle. It really did a number on my mental health, my relationships, resorted to D&A to cope and still causes me issues.
I wonder…why did no one at oracle care about how I felt when I was lied to? Why did no one care when my manager and his fat cronie stole my work and presented it as their own? Why did no one care when I got a raise and then I was making less than I was before cause of a typo? Why did no one care when fat manager two hired me on his team only to tell me, well it’s a transition not a promotion? Why did no one care to try and develop me? Why did people just lie or hire from the outside? Why did my absolutely horrible VP decide it was best to prompt no long time GBU members and instead fill roles wth people from some irrelevant acquisition? Why did not one but two HR dummies say I didn’t have a case only for me to have to go further up the chain to finally get some acknowledgement? Why was my GBU just a complete and utter waste of decades?
We are seeing today that when people get angry, they either talk it out or react. Oracle mgmt is hated, that’s for sure. And some are the sc-m of the earth. My new company is very busy but they care.
The biggest mistake I ever made in my life, and I’ve made a ton, was working with absolutely horrible people at the GBU at oracle. People who actually are just wasting their lives and don’t really act human.
I wish things could’ve been different. Hopefully the DOL will officially knock their door in. I think about getting certain folks back sometimes but that’s not my style. When they get to he-l, they can roast some marshmallows and count all the dollars they made.
