Oracle's been laying off consistently for years. Not all are major rounds, but it's been ongoing. This is just business as usual.

As long as I'm given decent severance, I'll happily leave this place behind. I don't see anything positive in Oracle's future, at least when it comes to employees, so getting out sooner rather than later would be a win in my book. Again, as long as I... — read more

I just want to reassure everyone that whatever happens with Oracle and its debt, LE will come out on top and unscathed. He is five steps ahead of everyone else playing the game, and his (and his family’s) nest egg will only continue to grow... — read more

Something doesn't add up.

Oracle is known for having too many layers of management. D and his close circle handle all the big meetings, while everyone else only gets small pieces of the work. This keeps the rest of the team from seeing the full plan. If Oracle fixed this and... — read more
