When Oracle treated its employees like the asset we are. It's a pity that hasn't been the case for years.

I can’t tell if the market is bad or the hiring people are horrible at their jobs.
I pray for a severance package. I'm ready after 26 years of this. I'd like to do an honest day's work, helping my customers, but our id--tic policies and myopic management gets in the way. Extra effort gets no reward.
The job market is dead. After 26 years of employment you cannot even comprehend how bad it is out there.

Agree 1000000% on the Safra comment. I’m not at O any more but that def falls in line. And not for nothing. A lot of female leaders seemed to look up to her….that also made things way worse.
Once Safra Katz came into the picture and got her greedy hands all over the purse strings it was all over at that point, turned Oracle into a cr-ppy company to work for. Her money lust is ridiculous, there’s not enough money in the world that would satisfy her.
And then there was every day after your first day. Just making light. Same for me. There was a time when I was doing honest work, getting paid a decent wage, my manager wasn't looking for ways to S on me, my old manager wasnt stealing my work, my all talk no walk manager wasn't discriminating on talented people to put her darlings into consulting gigs....and then....the acquisitions came.....and every person that got acquired was magically better than the acquisition before them....many of them from the midwest....I had never worked with folks from the midwest. I came to find many spineless and very low skilled. They would do the d-mb work and be proud of it. Oracle is not the worst place I've worked...I did work in a sweat shop of a shipping company once...that was pretty bad. I am happy though. I left.....and well...stopped just worrying about getting money in the door. I dont see anyone from my old GBU. Most of the talent left. What's left there is a hodge podge of, as my grandfather said once, "has beens and never will be's...." I can laugh now cause I am pretty much retired, but Lord....it was like the worst years of high school combined with doing work no one even cared about fro customers who could've figured it out if they weren't so lazy about it.
