If it is in fact correct that Director level and higher employees were put on flex vacation and has their carries vacation taken away, then their vacation accruals which had already been expenses would have bee reversed and would have - artificially - inflated/ increased oracle's profits. Notable that such reversals were not highlighted by SC on any of the earnings calls. Sony how much were oracle profits overinflated ?
And yes cloud margins s--- which is why oracle is playing games like this. Where is the enforcement division of the SEC when you need it?!
