I came in wanting to do good work and bring new ideas, but the environment has worn me down. If you're already feeling the same way, think carefully about whether staying is worth it.

You are an expense item to this company and they will replace you the first chance they get. If you work too hard you will just get bitter and resentful. Value your time, health and peace of mind. Job market is rough, so don't do anything crazy. Money coming in beats money going out. I don't have hope Oracle turns around. When the end is near one's own intellect works against him - I see that with Larry.
@a6 People like you are some of the reasons corporations use to burn down thousands of jobs. Or take away WFH from everyone. I never will understand the concept of meeting wrong with wrong and then somehow think what you did is right. You are no better than the very people you complain about... maybe even worse. The fact that it doesn't bother you is evidence of being a sociopath.
Even when they were not laying off their best (for that is what useless VPs do out of fear for their own overpaid places), their micromanagement and bureaucracy was stfling.
It's not worth it -
I totally take advantage of my remote work here though. Playing video games, vibe coding complete trash, never on camera.. consider it a big FU to Oracle until they lay us all off
Only to get my severance, hopefully soon
