For years the Catholic Church allowed many priests to get away with child molesting. Even though many priests were caught, the church just moved them around to other places where the molestation continued until the priest was caught again. They kept their inside a circle of silence.
Why? Because the priests formed a community of ego-centered psychos who protected one another rather than admit to the sins they were themselves committing.
Oracle Development is the same way in TKs org. VPs, senior directors, directors and managers all protect each other. They form an ego-centered community that can admit no wrong-doing. Instead they set-up, attack and sabotage developers at the bottom of the ladder. People who they know will not be listened to by anyone.
Who would suspect a priest of child molestation? Priests are known to be the best of all people.
Who would suspect a manager, director or VP of employee sabotage? HR knows they would NEVER be the ones who are lying.
Development management is intensely corrupt. It is made up of ego-obsessed weirdos who lie at the drop of a hat to protect themselves and whoever will back them up.
Too bad Oracle development management can't go into the priesthood. Perfect fit.
