Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

When did hard work and experience become a liability

I was one of those folks whose team was re-org'ed/merged with a couple of different teams. Needless to say, the first ones to go are the those that actually did real work and those that had the years in experience. For some reason, I managed not to be let go. The managers of course, get to stay and totally muck everything that was working before. Definitely check Aria everyday and you'll start seeing the byproduct of said re-org.

Oracle is a very dysfunctional company to say the least. As they say, "too many chiefs, not enough Indians"

Or... maybe you were not doing real work?

If you want to last, work smart not hard. You will be burned out fast.

Heh, well, I'm milking it right now. Let everyone else do the work and s--- up to the higher ups while at same time I'm taking training classes and doing a lot of learning on my own. I'll be ready when the ax falls.

Absolutely, Oracle is now a fake company. The managers fake their management, make up whatever they want about anyone that doesn't bow to them. People trying to do honest, real work are completely screwed over in favor of employees who will pretend with the managers that all is well and the management is great.

Wipe the whole thing out and start over, or watch the ship go down.

If you want to stay at Oracle, don't do work, just follow your manager around and nod your head a lot.

It’s all a pretend game at oracle, starting with these mythical cloud revenues that not even the 3 stooges want to report anymore, take the hint and pretend ... real work and real skills have no value at oracle because oracle has ceased to be a real company that has real products And records real sales ... make belief and you’ll do swimmingly well

Hard work has no meaning when everything is becoming autonomous. You should hardly do anywork, but keep buttering bosses for you survival. Learn from MH and SC. TK did not do and he is trashed.
