Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

I applaud these three women for taking a positive action and filing a lawsuit, nothing will ever change if people just sit on their asses and let sh-- happen them. When somebody does you wrong, hit back ad hit back hard! Down you go LE!

Those who think this may not be worth doing should review the class action result of the anti poaching suit against leading Silicon Valley employers...

I think that for most class action suits, the general consensus is that the winner will never be the class, but the lawyers involved on both sides.

Not like it's gonna help oracle ....

it might not hurt O either as this is a hot button issue in the entire industry at the moment.

If O prevails in this suit, nothing is going to change and ppl will see this as a "me too" lawsuit.

Not like it's gonna help oracle ....

"The only ones benefiting from this will be the lawyers."

Yes, indeed.

Over the years, I had received a few notices that I was part of class action suit. Some of them will require me to spend hours to dig out the 'evidence/proof'. I decided to not act knowing the reward will be slim. So couple years ago I received a notice RE: AT&T mobile bill issue. It did not require me to do any thing..

In 2016 Sept, I received the notice, it's finally all settled, with a check of $0.05.

I never bother to deposit the check. It might end up in trash can.

I am sure ORCL had bunch of those lawyers on their side.

Good luck sister. I was part of a similar class action suit for s-xual harassment several years ago. We won the multi million dollar suit... I received a check for 89 cents.

I had to work with them. Mr. Creep told me that the woman was special and she had to have "special tasks" so she wouldn't have to work with the other people on the team. I was not going to do that. He also connected her with developers outside the team so she could copy their code and present it to the team like she had done the work. She only worked on separate little pieces of code, whatever she could get from the outside developers who were working with Mr. Creep. When that code needed to be integrated into the main code, someone else on the team had to do that work. That would be too complicated for her tiny brain.

Just to be clear, this cloud development. This is supposed to be the important area being worked on at Oracle and this is what is going on there.

I (female) worked for a s-xual pervert (director) who kept saying things to me like "so, are you heads down" on the project today. You just need to "work your way up". I'll call him Mr. Freak. Mr. Freak also started rumors about me that circulated behind my back. I am sure he lied to HR when I left the company about me.

Mr. Freak attacked another woman to see if she would "put out" for him and she left the project.

This guy, Mr. Freak, was buddy-buddy with another pervert who had a woman working for him. I'll call this second pervert Mr. Creep. I expect she was Mr. Creep's personal wh--e, although, from her point of view, she thought they were "in love". My opinion is that he was just manipulating her. Treated her like dirt. She was always trying to do things to please him. Very, very sick manipulative relationship.

Mr. Creep kept this wh--e elevated above the other developers on the team. He would manipulate the people on the team to feel sorry for her. She would do a little girl act to pretend she was so innocent. It was all crap.

When that code needed to be integrated into the main code, someone else on the team had to do that work. That would be too complicated for her tiny brain.

There was another woman on the project. This woman was extremely competent. She was always sidelined, kept from demos, kept from getting credit, which always went to Mr. Creep's wh--e.

Mr. Freak, who I worked for, thought highly of Mr. Creep's arrangement with his personal wh--e. I think that he was trying to set up an arrangement of his own with the woman he attacked that left his project.

It's completely disgusting. I tried to tell HR about Mr. Creep and his wh--e, but they just said that they didn't see anything wrong there. HR is completely useless at oracle in terms of policing what is going on. I guess they don't care unless there is some immediately pending lawsuit.

I left Oracle. I was being treated like dirt by Mr. Freak. The previous manager I worked for, did not appear to be an open pervert like Mr. Freak, but he did sabotage things I was working on, kept me from meetings, gave me bad information, etc. I suspect that the other guys on the project knew what he was doing. He either lied about me behind my back to get them to not work with me or they knew outright what he was doing.

I was a very good developer, it is Oracle's loss that I left.

Mr. Freak was promoted to Senior Director in June. Has he pulled the wool over the eyes of the SVP that promoted him? I doubt it. I suspect the SVP is also a perverted, incompetent freak.

If you are a customer and you want to know why your oracle applications are broken... well these are the engineering managers who were in charge of developing it. They are more interested in their perverted pastimes than in giving a sh-- about something as meaningless as the application you paid for.

They ENJOY attacking women within the company. They know HR will cover for them and they know that the upper level management enjoys the same perversion they do.

If you are a shareholder, you are right to look into what's going on in the company. It's not pretty and they will do whatever they can to cover it all up. I am sure that Mr. Creep's wh--e has a pretty good salary, though. You should take that into account.

I, though, and I'm sure the other woman working for Mr. Creep, are likely far below normal on the compensation scale. I expect Mr. Creep's wh--e gets all the bonuses, too.

I hope they win the lawsuit, but it's a drop in the bucket in terms of what goes on at Oracle.

At one point, I emailed the ethics hotline for another issue, No response of course. That's all fake, too.

Have you read the complaint? They won't collect millions.

The lawyers are trying to have the case certified as a class action.

If they prevail, after all the lawyer "fees" and such, they'll be lucky to get much out of it.

And either way, the plaintiffs' careers are pretty much over as they'll be likely black listed.

Good luck to you, hope you take them to the cleaners.
