Reorganization after reorganization. In the meantime, I don't notice any improvement. Every time there are promises that everything will get better after the reorganization, but... we can all see that it's not happening. What is achieved, however, is a drastic drop in morale. I just wonder why all these reorganizations fail.

Is Oracle partnering with Nvidia or not? They have been in the news haven't heard anything SC since her performance last year.
Oracle reorgs are scams just liked the paid articles to Forbes. Oracle paid 258(?) millions to federal court in CA earlier this year for Securities fraud to Firemens Pension Fund for the same thing, lies to sell stock. Oracle throws money, takes no responsibility and corrects nothing,
Orginal inventor filed a claim with Oracle ethics to no avail when his Manager now VP took his work, conspired with another manager and a developer to file U.S. Patent. Oracle did nothing. That VP should have fired by Oracle immediately and turned over to the authorities and they did nothing.
My guess is upper management was never made aware, Mostly likely the corrupt middle management took care of this like they do other things. Hope upper management will find this out soon and learn how this person has stolen from Oracle and fire this lieing, cheating,degrading, deflecting, mind controlling, arrogant, self absorbed, manipulative, greedy, employee abuser VP and anyone that helped him try to cover up his conspiracy and racketeering activities. Truth wins. He cheated himself and Oracle.
Oracle reorgs are merely an exercise of shuffling around chairs on the Titanic. Does anyone really think that a reorg will magically push Oracle to becoming a leader in the cloud infrastructure market, for example? What a joke.
Oracle is finished in cloud infrastructure AND in database. All that's left is for Oracle to do something in the healthcare market. That's all that's left for Oracle.
“ Or maybe you really don't want them to succeed? “
Oh we don’t mind necessary surgery, but we have been through more facelifts than Hillary Clinton, with equal success.
Why reorgs fail here?
They don't all fail. These latest reorgs are going to succeed, so quit your complaining. Or maybe you really don't want them to succeed?
A reorg is, by definition, an closed loop process. It is like shuffling the deck with the hope that you can be dealt another hand, but the cards in the deck always remain the same. You will not get a better organization. The problem is not in the cards, but the dealers.
Grass is NOT always greener. It could be sh|tty paint job that the recruiting team slapped up there for your benefit.
But the assessment on the how and why of re-orgs is spot on. We all know that LE is narcissistic and wants his generals to battle with themselves and each other for his favor.
Look, even if we love our tech job and the company we are working for - and if you are lucky you’ll have that experience at some point - it’s the US corporate culture, the “grind” and overall focus on $$ that bends companies into a certain shape.
The 2020 pandemic years exposed this like flayed flesh from the bone. The paradigm flipped 180, and every thing changed.
But did it? Those who predicted that the largesse would end were correct. And the corporate body returns to its original rigid 19th century management state.
For an example of this writ large: Twitter
But some type of this gyration is going on at every large company. The rich people who own us (credit George Carlin) want us back under their collective thumbs. And they are winning. Again.
“ the grass is brown on both sides of the fence. “
That’s not grass!
The grass is always greener elsewhere.
Not to be the wet blanket, but the grass is brown on both sides of the fence.
The great thing about a re-org is it gives your manager an excuse to slow down any movement on payrises, promotions, budgets (or anything else they’ve already promised you) while they wait for the new leadership to settle in. They can use it to convince you that things are really looking up and the re-org will fix everything, while in reality it’s going to undo any signs of progress you thought you were making. The reality is that in the upper levels of management someone has just made a play for someone else’s role, stabbed them in the back, and convinced Larry and co that they have new ideas that will change the game. Spoiler alert, it’s the same old sh***y ideas being repackaged, and they know it. But they implement the re-org anyway, because it helps to justify them having a clear out of personnel. The cycle continues and we’re left trying to convince ourselves that maybe this time things will be different.
That’s just my optimistic take on it anyway :)
The grass is always greener elsewhere. Oracle is not the only one in this situation. Rare are the companies where re-org actually change things at a fundamental level. Especially on companies the size of Oracle.
Reorgs are fake. Just the management pretending to do something. They have no purpose other than to make it look like something is being done. Randomly rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic! Time to move on to a new company.
Reorganizing is designed to distract attention away from management failures!
