Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Oracle is a place of stagnation

In my 5+ years at Oracle, we had one team dinner. ONE. That was it. I worked at places that do quarterly bashes, boat trips, swimming outings, lakeside bbq parties and all kinds of fun stuff.

Oracle is a stagnation place and misery. The only reason I stayed that long was telecommuting position and not putting up with too much management BS. People tried to recruit me afterwards but no way, I'm NEVER ever going back.

You people need to start looking, don't stay in such a miserable and toxic environment and complain. Just leave, you won't have any problems getting a job elsewhere with Oracle in your resume (unless it's a company that recently got into lawsuit battles with Oracle.) Just make sure to do your due diligence on places like Glassdoor and avoid management-bloated places with too many sh-tty managers and politics drama.

Find a positive workplace and leave, you'll be all the better for it. Your stress levels will drop to an ATL and your depression will magically disappear. I promise.

Anyone with sense already packed up and left.

Bumped this from another thread, OP @Wa63bIc-4rqz . Finding a new job is easier said than done, but I tend to agree with the rest of the post.

Haven’t you heard? SC says Oracle doesn’t have to do that stuff because people want to work at Oracle even in the absence of management showing employees they are appreciated.

It's the same with renting real estate. If you want good renters, you have to have an updated place that people want to live in. If you want to be a slum lord, there is always someone who will live there if the price is right.

Oracle is a slum lord. Yes, there will always be someone they can hire, but good people go to companies where they are treated well, not Oracle.

SC should not assume that because Oracle can hire people, it means that they don't need to do anything. Penny pinching will not dig Oracle out of the hole it's in. developers are not all the same.

Jump ball! LE and DJT, that’s how they ‘manage’ and the results, well, the results speak for themselves.

Oracle is a no fun zone. Runs on fear and intimidation. Teamwork is nonexistent because relationships are not solid or encouraged and everyone is out to get everyone else.

Stagnation, as in your starting salary.

Thanks. This makes sense. I work more these days in Oracle to come out of Oracle. Building my skills and confidence is the idea. Hope I make it somewhere somehow in near future.

I worked there over 10 years ago and it's still the same, I see.
