Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

LOL, so true !

Management is like monkeys in a tree. The monkey at the top looks down and sees other monkeys. The people at the bottom look up and see only @$$holes.

Sooner or later every company will be run by a monkey, except that having monkeys run high tech co’s doesn’t work thay well, as oracle has chosen to prove for no reason other than to destroy itself

if all all smart talented and low wage people are given any chimp can run any company why we need MH.

Oh, that huge, gigantic, gargantuan stinky diaper on MH’s a-- filled with all his sh.t, makes me laugh

He should be running scared about all the cloud fraud, putting on adult diapers to keep in all the sh-- is his biggest challenge. Will he be a rat and turn on LE and SC?

Talented people means cheap labor. That is all it means. He thinks he can make it work but so far it's not working. You can only hide it for so long before the chickens come home to roost.

Darn it, what’s wrong with this world: I make a $100 million a year and I can’t find people to work for free - what’s wrong with these people! Losers, slackers, ...

I used to cut and paste most of my review answers. I even told my manager what I was doing and he told me it was fine because "none of us are probably going to get raises anyway". And of course, he was right.

I wonder if this might have changed in the last week or so. Can his biggest challenge have become how to stay out of jail for cloud fraud?

Right on target, don't put everything 5 so that every year there could be improvement. That's the Oracle total BS.

Actually reviews don't matter because raises are based on the stacked ranking of your department and then by your stacked ranking inside your department.

The untalented beholder says no talent all the time.

this is simply disgusting. MH is a disgusting person, really.

like many people before me, I was a top talent, got a 5 since 2010, then last year I got a 3 (even if I'm doing the same exact job and I have overachieved my target) because "since you are so good Oracle is expecting you overachieve your target, so your performance is just normal".

holy Jesus, Oracle is expecting me overachieving, must be the reason I got no raises in the last 5 years, because I'm doing "normal" things.

I'm completely sure this year I will get a 2 or maybe a 1, and I will be fired because I have not overachieved the overachievements, and so it is much better to hire a totally unexperienced college kid that it will take 6 months to train, and then another 3 to 5 years to level to the right experience. that is, if he/she remains in Oracle after the first year, of course, which is highly unlikely given the salary.

as I said, happened before, will happen again.

so, overall, short term (very short term) financial benefit for Oracle, and short/mid/long term complete disaster for the effectveness of the sales force and presales org.

congrats MH, you truly a genius.

I think he meant to say, the world is lacking talents that will take peanuts and work to death for Oracle. He is probably right. I am sure Bangalore has a lot of people and better universities than in the US.

I worked in Oracle for few years and was a top talent and in my OPAS I used to get 5/5 and they made me redundant few years back and I moved on. Now, I have joined a competition and one thing is very clear Oracle has good products and technology but it has got poor leadership like MH, Luic, DD, etc., I think these guys have made m$ and they are holding on to the power and authority and firing out all the good people to satisfy their ego and inefficiency. All I can say is God save Oracle.

He forgot to add "cheap" before "talented people". If he did, it would all make sense.

What a BS artist, what a bs artist! I’m speechless! Worth at least $100 m a year right there, maybe more! not!
