I'd like to know who PSM is also? Somebody mentioned he was out too.
So he's at sales force. That's good for him.
Oracle is a lost cause. There will be no working Oracle cloud. It's all a sham, just a front for LE and associates to shuffle the money around.

TK's org is like a corrupted journaling filesystem: no matter that inodes are healthy if main journal and all of it's backups are bad.
Think mafia/organized crime.
It will never work to hire a single person into TKs org to make changes. The corruption there is too deep. In order to make any difference, you would have to replace a large portion of the management. All management is corrupt. In order for someone to get help from another group, the managers require some kind of "payment". Payment like attacking someone for them or doing some other type of sabotage, etc. It is a hopeless mess.
Who is PSM?
PSM didn’t last very long either. Probably same story.
Exactly: they told him a lot BS to get him to sign on, then it took a couple of years for him to realize where he actually was and who he was actually working with —and how it is impossible to overcome the oracle leadership culture of conventional methods.
I expect they told him a lot BS to get him to sign on, then it took a couple of years for him to realize where he actually was and who he was actually working with.
It's a bad sign when someone good at the top steps out the door. Means the people around him are probably crap and/or the company is going downhill fast. Probably both of those are true.
Maybe he didn't expect to be screamed at by TK.
Mark Cavage from: http://www.businessinsider.com/oracle-rock-star-engineers-2016-3/#jai-suri-iot-torch-bearer-1
Cavage, 37, is a senior director at the helm of several engineering teams at Oracle that are building new services for Oracle's new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud.
He's been at Oracle for just over a year, coming by way of Joyent. Before that, he was the chief architect for Amazon Web Services' password-management product.
His favorite thing about his current job is that "Oracle is incredibly serious about the cloud space," which means that he's got the support to move fast and hire the best talent.
"That's incredibly motivating," he says.
He's also got an alter ego as a former professional musician, playing banjo in "a relatively successful bluegrass band," he says. "In the past few years I've focused on studying guitar in the style of Django Reinhardt (gypsy jazz)."
Wasn't at Oracle very long it looks like. Guess it wasn't as "motivating" as he thought it would be.

Word is he left on his own. TK made promises that were never kept. Sounds like MC just got fed up and decided to split.
He was the only executive who seemed to understand how far behind we were and what we needed to do to catch up. I guess he decided that he could not fix things without any support from above.
Anyone know if MC was forced out, or left for some better opportunity on his own?
MC ran cloud native and Java. His departure is not a good sign for the future of either.
What area of TKs org was MC in charge of?
I could use any good rumours about the TK org.
(Let's not do more bad-mouthing of the man.)
Interested in downsizing prospects for the org.
(I selfishly don't want to jump if there's a chance of being pushed.)
Precursor to RIFs in Java?
He quit. Couldn't work with TK.
M6 TK direct report.
Old news
Boring......
Can't touch this
Is this upper level management? Someone immediately under TK?
Hammer
MC who?
