I don't want to do someone else's job
It surprises me how many people complain because the manager makes them do someone else's job (mostly the job of privileged manager's favorites). My job is whatever my boss assigns me, but I really don't want to do other people's work anymore... — read more
Last Paycheck
I recently left Oracle, thankfully, but haven't received my last paycheck on the 15th. Does anyone know if the last check is sent in the mail or should I have received a direct-deposit.? Also, if anyone has the payroll number, please pass it along.
Not a good workplace for new employees
Oracle has turned into an incredibly slow-moving company with no room left to innovate or be creative. Additionally, there is no room for career growth as nobody is interested in building your skills if you're one of the newer hires. This is no... — read more
There are still some good managers
I feel sorry when I hear about someone who has a very bad experience with their manager. Fortunately, our manager is one of those who really knows how to get the best out of employees. Otherwise I would have left long ago. However, the question is... — read more
Build things
Oracle needs to start building things instead of buying things. In order to build things you need builders. If you're just buying things all you need - and value - are accountants. When all you do is buy things then the builders become unnecessary... — read more

Anyone wiht good manager level or up info - are we tracked and what kind of reports you have on us: Scanned ID cards, logins, LAN? What can you share with grunts and peons?
Just how much cr-p are you willing to take from your manager?
I handed in my notice yesterday morning. Just couldn’t take the cr-p and the abuse from my manager. Over the years I had a bit of good luck in the sense that I had good managers that understood how work was done and that I could turn to them. Last... — read more

Why we should not be surprised by what really drives LE
Nobody should be the least bit surprised by LE's constant involvement in buying ( and taking down) acquisitions. The fact of the matter is this is exactly how he grew the company and his own bank account in the first place. Oracle has been... — read more
They look out only for their own interests
It's hard to believe that the leadership doesn't care about this company and its future, but I think that this is exactly the case here. Because, if they really cared a lot of things would be very different here, wouldn't they? Everything... — read more
More people just left the team for greener pastures! Hows that "Performance-Based Compensation" policy working out?

If you want job security forget Oracle
Oracle was once a place where you could build a career and feel safe about your job. Now with each acquisition employees have to be scared of what reorg that acquisition might produce. A friend whose son is applying for a job at Oracle asked me for... — read more
What is going on with this? Time to get this one, out!
+4 What will be amusing is if Oracle ever tries to litigate such a patent against another company. The alleged infringer might be able to argue and prevail because the actual inventor is not on the patent. US law requires the actual inventor be... — read more

I hate to see what Oracle has turned into

Can Oracle survive a recession?
WASHINGTON — Record-low mortgages below 3% are long gone. Credit card rates will likely rise. So will the cost of an auto loan. Savers may finally receive a yield high enough to top inflation. The substantial half-point hike in its benchmark... — read more
I would rather take lower pay than RTO
I really don't want to go back. There is no sense in wasting money and time by going to the office, when I can do my job from home without any problems. How many of you would rather take a slightly reduced pay than RTO?
Are we now buying Imagene AI??
Does anybody here know what is happening with the possible acquisition of yet another company by O? I see LE is one of the players who is bidding up the acquisition cost of an Israeli start up company. After the monumental cost to just close on... — read more

Growth by acquisition
I wonder why Oracle chooses acquisitions among the opportunities to grow organically or inorganically. Isn't growing a business by acquisitions a greater risk than organic growth?
