Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

@Ug3daUs-1eal LOL

The answer to the question "Why is Oracle like the p--n industry?"

Quote -- "So they want them young and dumb and cheap. Sounds like a recipe for success."

Works for the p--n industry!

They don’t like to be questioned. My boss asked me why I push back when he dumps work on me right before PTO, and why I can’t just do it. I asked if he mean like the young guys who had quit after 1 - 2 years. Never mind that I was productive and loyal. I got laid off.

This is the type of thing that is done to create a paper trail to show that you cannot do the work. No wonder you were laid off. You were being set up.

If you are given work that can't possibly be done, it's not because your manager is an id--t. It's because he is trying to set you up for a lay off. He will document that you did not do work that was assigned to you. He'll leave out the part that explains that the request was completely unreasonable. The management above won't check with you.

Welp, that explains why all my applications to Oracle go into the black hole. Ironic that the CEO is over 70 and no one questions HIS effectiveness as Oracle loses the Cloud computing wars.

This is a really, really good point.

You can't run a team on just newbies out of college. They won't know what to do.

The management is completely clueless about how development works. They look at some magic spreadsheet somewhere with low salaries and high numbers of untrained and unexperienced people and think that is some magic formula for success.

Nobody knows what they are doing. Cost cutting for now is simply gutting the company of experience and talent.

Conscience.

ALL the quality class of kids who come in LEAVE in short order. There are some good ones, but as you said, about 10%. The rest are scrappers who will do anything and believe the BS that gets healed on them. The managers of these kids and young professionals deserve a special place in hell for the mind f--- they are filing out. It’s unconscionable. But these “MANAGERS” have no conscious.

There a few class of and class of graduates that have their act together. But this makes up maybe 10% of all the class ifs they hired. So a 90% failure on the program is interesting. Oracle doesn’t care anymore. Just fill the pockets of the rich.

Smartest post ever by @Ug3daUs-xki:

“They recruit a bunch of entitled brats who feel like they deserve a promotion and raise every 6 months. Oracle doesn’t realize they will quit in 2 years and have zero loyalty. Oracle is creating a younger version of their corrupt and backstabbing culture. I feel sorry for any company that inherits one of this class of.”

They also want them skinny. Have you ever seen a fat class of? Maybe the token one they do for diversity.

Our boss actually said in a meeting that if anyone made over $100k we needed to reevaluate their contributions and value. I asked to you mean the staff or managers too. He said all. I found a new job in 2 weeks after that comment. And made $30k more than what I was making at Oracle. Corrupt place. So glad to be gone.
