Just a quick 5 min zoom and a very long career is over. Even after serving my entire career, running a very large team, building software, minting $100+ Million in YOY revenue and I still could not afford a house. Stuck with legacy technology... — read more 

Oracle Health OHAI. I'm starting to search internally now, but at least I got 2 years of RSUs. I don't have a clue how many employees were affected. The news was provided by my boss's boss's boss, Jill.

From personal experience Hierarchy- SM > 2 , 3 executive VP > GVP > VP > May be another VP > Snr Director > Director > Group Manager > Senior Manager > Manager > 'You are somewhere here' Any one above you would rarely work. Many of them would not... — read more 

Next week will be fun!

Once or twice a month (like today), I seem to get a thick packet for a shareholders meeting or some action of a company in which I have stock holdings. In seeing such packet, my heart leaps thinking this might be the day I finally received a... — read more

And just like that, the PaaS Team has lost it's juice ! This many folks to sell ONLY PaaS, not connecting the dots.....

When they can’t just alter the job role’s requirements until it is no longer tolerable! Have they made your job more demanding? How?

Why "How it works in CX" post is deleted?

After 5 years in Oracle sales team, I finally gave up. Oracles doesn’t care what the customer think. Oracle rather spent money on a bunch of YES MAN middle managers and internal competitions. The culture is so toxic. Can’t take this sh-t anymore. — read more 

Should I accept a offer of employment with Oracle in EMEA or not?

ORCL has now surpassed $39b in net income since SUNW and ORCL merged. Those fat pay raises you get are paid for by hardware sales.

Sorry, not directly connected to Layoffs but more a question of who should be laid off for this stupid decision? Does anyone know who actually decided on this POS plugin? Everyone who uses it hates it. It is less than useless and the mantra at this... — read more 

Been sitting on a job offer for about 3 weeks (waiting on BOD approval). CX, revenue-generating position. Anyone know if there's a freeze or is this typical?

One of my friend(Oracle OCI oke team - UK), just laid off yesterday. Redundant role is the reason. I

Every layoff, it’s the same story: fire older employees to bring in younger, cheaper ones. What they keep forgetting is that younger generations have different priorities. Not many will be willing to work evenings or weekends, among many other... — read more

Hey all. I’ve seen it before but what are the thoughts for applying for a job when it’s not in your city/state. Do they allow you perhaps to go into the office near you instead?

Oracle ANZ where 80% of sales staff is on a PIP from toxic management M.R. and A.J. HR staff at Oracle are actually earning their salaries for once working hard on managing PIP process / resignations and terminations.

Reorganization! When I first joined Oracle I was told that the one thing that would be constant was change! I now realize that this would be manifested in a reorganization. It comes, as sure a Spring follows Winter, that every few months the... — read more 

I have never seen so many people hating their jobs, and wanting to leave!

Anybody else? Godspeed to those affected. Being let go from this place may indeed be a blessing in disguise. For health and wellbeing, if nothing else.

15 folks laid off from OCI on 11/1. Some high performers included.

What are your thoughts about potential Oracle layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Let's see how O does when all of their poorly paid support engineers are out.

Many I know impacted. What's your story?

Leaving Oracle after 17 years, my two cents. The big shops, financials, SCM, HR, Psoft, will always make money. Usually never have layoffs unless it's from some quirky decision. Always tons of parnters doing that work if you do leave from one of... — read more 

Big Ohai layoff on 1st October

So, is Oracle competing for the worst work environment title? Are we in the running for the worst managers or the cr-ppiest culture? Something’s definitely gone wrong in the past several years, turning work into a nightmare. Can someone explain why?... — read more 

Thinking of taking a job at a different software company. I've been working for the big O. for a few decades now and was wondering if there is a noncompete clause and if so, how would I go about finding it without asking my manager?

What is the sabbatical leave policy at oracle?

Truly Oracle shareholders haven't had it so good with $38.6b of pure profit being added to ORCL's bottom line. That profit helps pay for your RSUs and severance.

With lines like focusing on the bottom line and double digit growth on EPS in the coming years out of today’s analyst day, you have to wonder. Place your bets for which groups get a haircut to help the bottom line and keep those larger than expected... — read more
