I left Oracle, because Ora gave me money to leave. I am happy. But i feel for Oracle, I know for sure Ora has all the potential to be #1 but because of too much political situations it will go down faster. Good luck to everyone.

always thinking of leaving but never leaving because I'm too afraid to leave. I'm over 50 and working from home and being isolated and being in my role has destroyed my career. some of that destruction through a conscious choice to be more available to my family - and I'm quite OK with that - but the destruction from other circumstances Oracle driven, I'm not quite so OK with. I don't like anything about my job except for the people who report to me. I feel I owe it to them to keep plugging along and doing the best I can. so I'll continue to absorb whatever training I can - at least there's that and its pretty much unlimited. continuing improving myself even though its wasted on the job here that is going no where.

what would make me change my mind about the company? a complete and total shakeup at the highest levels. we need an apocalypse. oracle has been around forever and will likely be around for quite awhile longer but we've lost a clear vision and mission. there's nothing compelling that a customer base can get behind and believe in that would raise the company to the next level.

Oracle is bloated and that is reflected in the software but it does not have to be. Much of the blame for our current software and cloud must sit on TK's shoulders. How we fix it and move on now that he is gone is what is important. But, LE needs to stop doing nothing but taking shots at competitors and start building something that speaks for itself so he doesn't need to take shots at competition. When the big guy starts making fun of all the little guys, you know the big guy is failing because he's got nothing else left. SC and MH need to be led by a strong technical visionary and they need to be tools that implement that vision (if we just don't ditch them already).

Oracle has issues but Oracle also has potential.

You would understand @-1ehz if you were a person who cared about their career and how the time and efforts you invest(ed) work to some greater benefit or was just left to the hyenas.

@XdzNYmX-1ehz : I still have a lot of friends at Oracle and I check the page because I am worried about them. I worked with a great team. I left because our product has a dour future

Some of us still invest in ORCL

Some of us have people we care about still there.

Some of us are just curious.

Some of us want to get an insite beyond the happy sappy press releases.

Also reasons while some folks follow more than one company on this site.

Hope that helps your understanding.

working in a small country in the EU, I was forced to leave as of Jan 1st. Not with an official RIF, but after 12 years with a laughable package. All in all, still feels like a big relief

Oracle HR and the 3 stooges have never cared enough about employees to even consider conducting a survey like this. Most useless HR group ever.

Already left.

Losing left and right to large and small competitors in all aspects (HW, DB, and Apps)

No chance you should stay.
