When I left the company a little over a year ago it was really bad. I've been reading the posts here this morning and it doesn't seem like much has changed since then. Am I wrong? I'm mostly asking because I hope that people I used to work with... — read more 

Oh no, not Oracle University! Now how will I get meaningless certifications in software no one uses, like cloud toilet pipeline configuration or serial application cluster diddling optimization? Feculent cesspool of a company. Post ID:... — read more 

Oracle is irrelevant in modern architecture design. It has already died. But much like its stone age predecessors from the 1970s it will aways be around in fossil form, making people think such a beast still exists. The vast majority of customers... — read more

And so the demise of the worlds worst tech organization is once again validated by CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/16/oracle-orcl-earnings-q4-2020.html) and other industry analysts. Not even Safra Katz or Larry will be able to talk their way out... — read more 

For many of us company wide who are hourly pre-sales consultants, we are being asked to work overtime but not record our hours so company does not have to pay for O/T hours, but instead keep track of it and take time off when possible to make up for... — read more 

I'm sure you saw this, but it belongs here, as well. Get out, or face having your resume become obsolete, and you will join the ranks of the people who are certified in Novell, dBase, Compaq, and Windows 95. Every day you spend at Oracle, migrating... — read more 

Asking for a friend.

Oracle plays high bargainer role with employee pay already. Even in OCI space, Oracle's pay is not in par with big competitors like FMSANG companies (Facebook, Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, Netflix, Google). It is really employee's choice than... — read more 

Another day, another layoffs round at Oracle. Shocking, I know. I just wish we knew a little more about what's going to happen. But I guess I should be used to this by now... Good luck, everybody, and please keep us informed on what's going on... — read more

I reported it many times to HR, who just blamed me for being the problem. With the recent unrest, I’m surprised they have not issued a public statement.

I have a job to sell if you want it.

I have heard from some that they have received a package at Fedex from Oracle America. It's a good sign that you just got laid off. I have no idea how many have been sent, but can confirm that some sort of layoff is going to happen by Friday. I'd... — read more 

I have had some really bad managers at Oracle. I'd like to hear from others what their experiences have been.

Mid-June is the currently predicted time for layoffs. Anyone hearing rumors?

At the end of May around 20-30% of Sales / Business Dev. in Bucharest & Prague got laid off by Oracle. They would kick out way more, but due to EU regulations they couldn't do it in this Q without triggering the alerts, so probably at the end of June... — read more

This is a wishful thinking thread. What do you think, when is Larry Ellison going to retire? Date Reason What does Larry do once retired? Who will be calling all shots at Oracle once he retries. Thoughts?
