For those of us who have found a way out of Oracle. What would it take for you to work with the same manager you left?
Lots of cash?
Better people to work with?
Act of God?

Not true. You are asking a layoff forum, which should only have current employees, who wants to come back. Most people are not sadly obsessed with the last place they worked to follow a forum like this.
Like I thought, no one wants back in.
I might go back if Amazon acquired Oracle and the core database was open-sourced.
An act of God
Nothing, ever, to go back into that toxic, dehumanizing and abusive culture.
Only through acquisitions
I'd go back to the same manager or 2nd level manager, but never at Oracle.
Not a single person so far would go back.... tells you something doesn't it.
Major bout of mental illness.
Not even when hell freezes over, I would think of going back. After 12.5 years there I am now working in a environment where they treat people with respect and where there are regular salary increases and promotions. That and taken into account that all the good and nice co-workers got laid off as well.
I wouldn't go back to Oracle. My first line manager was great and I would work for him again - but not at Oracle. I also wouldn't work for any company that hired the Oracle management chain above him - they were the most disgusting narcissistic bunch of humans I've ever had to work under.
I would never return to Oracle.
My ire that mr was not the problem. It was the 8,000 layers above him that made everything impossible
I'd work for the same manager I had in any company. I was lucky, I had a, not a good one, a great one, Of course, he got the ax the same time as I did. he made the entire Oracle experience a good one. But then again I'd never go back to Oracle. Move forward and don't look back except to learn.
None of the above.
