I’m very happy to announce I’m no longer an Oracle employee. After five years of hard work and moving through a handful of teams with terrible management at each one, I landed a team where I was moved up to leadership and after five years of hard... —  read more 

I am considering an offer but not sure. I am looking at the posts on Glassdoor and it looks like OCI is better than the rest of Oracle. Am I wrong?

I have heard that there were a few changes within the sales consultants. Anyone impacted, or heard any further details

Few months ago, a heavy attrition. Managers pleaded employees not to go and will look for salary raises in Focal. Now, the answer is recession is coming. expect your salaries to be less.

How are sales right now? Do you feel the inflation / recession impacts at all?

Party is over

Not for all … https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/06/23/larry-ellison-oracle-billionaire-florida-home/7717443001/

Be prepared, folks. The following 12 months will not be fun.

There are a number things coming together that makes me think this summer will lead to some major house cleaning especially in the old California offices. We do know from the latest 10q that 236 Million has been set aside for layoff packages. My... —  read more

Going on right now, don't have too many details at this stage. Any other LoB's affected?

What divisions had layoffs today?

Just like those in bad relationships where one partner repeatedly walks all over the other, Oracle employees continue to allow themselves to be cr*pped on. Those remaining at the company must have really low self-esteem, cowering away waiting for... —  read more 

Honestly, I was hoping to be able to upgrade my skills much more during this time that I have been here. Now I'm leaving a little disappointed. Some, however, say they have learned a lot here and that Oracle has served them as an excellent... —  read more

Oracle treats its employees like complete dirt. Not doing anything this year and will focus on finding a new employer. I will travel and enjoy the summer while doing the absolute minimum. Anyone else milking it for the summer?

Quote - “We believe that this revenue growth spike indicates that our infrastructure business has now entered a hyper-growth phase" Is this the same infrastructure business that runs in co-lo sites, rather than their own data centres? The larger... —  read more 

Bloomberg businessweek’s feature on how LE is changing the island he bought, and $crewing over residents and employees. The Tom Cruise story is pretty amusing too. What tools these ultra rich freaks are.

Does anyone have any insight on how many employees were affected?

Seems like Big O's strategy moving forward is to not work on anything that anyone older than 30 is doing. Guess it's time to move along. And what the h*ll was that clown CM wearing? He looked like Eminem from 1999.

Thoughts on this lob and/or management?

It doesn’t seem to me that attrition is slowing down. Purely out of curiosity I would like to know which jobs have the highest quit rate?

The fact that Oracle is no longer a company which tries to keep talented and good employees is nothing new. This has been happening for years now. Does anyone remember roughly when this became a place where the most talented are not as desirable... —  read more

Much like the smoking ho-e that Oracle dug for Sun Microsystems, Oracle itself has prepared it's own grave. Anyone remaining there is just grabbing handfuls of dirt. You've been warned.
