Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Oracle vs Twitter, Who is Worse at Layoffs?

Oracle hasn’t communicated layoffs, whereas Twitter just gutted half of the company with Elon Musk gloating all the way.

Which is worse? Considering Elon and LJE are friends, I wonder if they are competing for a race to the bottom.

Oh now Elon says the blue check mark will be gray. Good decision Elon. Elon has no clue what he’s doing. I’d bet there’s a lot of Twitter people looking to get out of there.

Then Twitter laid off huge numbers of people and now they are scrambling to get them back. Must have laid off the guy that knew you could just change the name of your account without any validation. Duh. Good tech people gone out the window.

Same for your LE. Good tech people gone and NOT coming back. Will be interesting to see the outcome.

Look at what's happening at Twitter now, Elon wants to charge people per month to have verified accounts. They get a blue check mark if they pay. Then, people found out they could just change the name of their account to someone else and still have the blue checkmark. What a disaster.

I tell you, Elon is a walking disaster area. He's got a big mouth, makes up things he's gonna do, without having any idea how, he gets the big funding, then everything goes down the tubes. The man is demented. Has no grasp of reality and people just follow him because he has a big mouth.

Sound familar? It should. LE's got the same problem. It's hit or miss with people like this. Twitter will go down in flames.

I agree, Telsla is not the best quality. The issues are tremendous. Supposedly, he is working on a battery that is going to make a fortune. Of course, he said the same about driverless cars but, that didn't work out.
Stock price in my opinion is over valued. Many have made alot of money. Now, he's doing the first buy back because he believes it's undervalued. It will be interesting to see what happens. So far, he has been lucky. All it takes is a few major failures bu,t he's still the richest person.

Twitter was in trouble. It will be interestintg to see how he does. Cerner was also in trouble and it will be interesting to see how that works out.

Seems like his PR stunts - free attention/advertising - is profitable.
It does seem like a House of Cards. Reality has a way of catching up when, least expected.

If you've ever seen a Tesla up close, the build quality is worse than a Tonka toy. Seriously, it is that bad and all you need to know. All for six figures.

Yeah, what’s with the lay off notices? I got the call, the fedex delivery and was out the same day. Now they give you 2 days to find another position? That seems cruel, not to mention impossible. WTF?

Elon is somehow neurodivergent. Not in a good way. Dude has how many baby mommas? One of which was an exec in his company? Not married? I’d like to see a high profile female in tech or ANY industry get away with that.

The Elon worship is extreme overwrought. Give him props for his tech, but don’t be in awe of how he lives and treats people. Minus 50 billion dollars, he’s just another jerk in technology.

Oracle gave me 2 days, saying I had been given sufficient notice to find a role elsewhere in the company. Of one of those two days they told me to take the day off to absorb the news. And the second day was the meeting with HR for the formal notification of a RIF dismissal. Normally staff are meant to get 30 days.

Twitter staff have known for months the RIF was coming and that the RIFs are a necessity.

Team Elon

Elon is a kl0wn. Larry, at least, wasn't pretending. He's really a bad person.

Elon has to clean house. Twitter was poorly managed. Think he started with execs. Elon is ruthless no doubt but he knows what he’s doing. All the time of stalling the purchase he had people working on the opening plan.
Elon is intuitive, he finds the problems. He demands accountability. He is still the richest person in the world.
Tesla stock forecasts are mind boggling..
I think SC is in touch not sure about LE. I don’t think Cerner was a good thing. Nvadia should be the answer.
Risk is part of the equation. I’m putting my money with Elon.
