Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Chip CAD team rumors

Anybody know any rumors about what is happening to the CAD team at Oracle? Will they get acquired? I would think the CAD team would be the most sellable part of the SPARC processor group. Maybe Ansys or something could buy them to compet better with Synopsys and Cadence. From my own personal experience in it a while ago the whole management from the VP RM down to the first level managers are totally corrupt. They encourage code copying between different teams and sabotaging other teams code ( why, it makes no logical sense) and other totally unethical stuff and HR back them up. Also entire teams like JC's are composed of H1B hires from China without even pretending like they are doing fair hiring practices.

Th actual engineers are pretty smart and nice, but man is the management a bunch of bafoons!

It has been corrupt like this going all the way back to early 2000's. Things have only gotten worse. JimmyC and his thugs are the worst!

No serious EDA company would ever buy the CAD teams code since its hairball that no one could understand or maintain. Most of it is copy and paste for job security reasons.

Yeah, not going to happen. No precedent for it, not worth doing. The IP can always be used to sue someone for infringement ;)

Oracle can't be bothered to go through the process of selling a small unit and deal with all the IP issues, when they don't need it anymore they will shut it down. That's the mindset of these peple
