There’s no plan grounded in the real world, hard work, or long-term sustainability. All leadership seems to see are dollar signs, chasing ideas that are increasingly risky and unrealistic, while leaving real people out of the equation. It’ll be a great party right up until everything comes crashing down, “unexpectedly”.

Along with rto measures and adding insult to injury, Oracle is no longer supplying Astroglide in the office first aid kits (or perhaps this is the doings of our outsourced real estate management?). In any case from now on you have to remember to byo for your daily "subordination" sessions.
I know several top engineers who have been in OCI for a while who are ready to leave. Once people hit their numbers they won’t stay.
It is no longer a fun place to work.
I feel like I was pretty talented and I also got snatched up by another company in record time. But I also feel like in the end it does not matter, my service will still keep running without me there and it will still keep running with even more layoffs.
My boss said that he really felt it su-ked that I was let go, but he had basically no control over it. But there is a risk that further layoffs impacting key people will genuinely cause service disruptions if the competence level drops too much.
@a2 I argue it is not the same. Lots of cuts is common lately, yes. But cuts that no one has seen a pattern in, no. Cuts where the immediate manager has no say, no. Cuts that fires key team members but lets dead meat stay, no.
This maybe not unheard of, but I think it is rather unique.
My neighbor, a police officer who lives in Redwood Shores, San Mateo County, CA, told me that you are 100% Correct!
Sour grapes
It's a bubble, they are chasing last dollar before the music stops and bubble bursts.
This is the same all across corporate America these days. Certainly not unique to ORCL.
