Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

OCI Still Not In Leader Quadrant of Gartner MQ - Why Are We Celebrating?

After all the investment and chest bumping and exaggerations by LE and CM, we are still not a leader. This is what happens when you deny cloud for years. Did you count how many times LE mentioned AWS in his keynote? Embarrassing. Watch AWS reInvent and see if AJ even mentions OCI. I seriously doubt if he even knows what OCI is since they focus on customers not competitors. #CloudDenier

Oracle is going down for the count. OCI will soon be history. Larry wants to run Oracle on the Big 3 cloud platforms, which will fail miserably since customers are leaving Oracle in droves. Better wise up and jump the Oracle ship before you are without a job.

Ol has a good post

@cif+1jyfFB3Z Stop deflecting
Your mind games do not work
Oracle is losing.
This post is relevant. You might need to face reality. Knowing why Oracle is melting away has everything to do with layoffs.
OP good job!

“Visionary” in the MQ is a politically correct way for Gartner to tell you that you still suck. Oracle is definitely not a leader in cloud

Any joy at being named a Visionary, while normally an amazing thing, that joy is tempered by the knowledge that some of my friends in OCI are gone! Added to that some of my development projects are at best paused, and at worst just plain canceled.

We HAD improving vision, but in the words of an old song, “I can feel it, slipping away. Slowly, slowly, slipping away, and it will be gone almost any day.”

We are number four!
We are number four!

Now that is something that 5.15% of us can cheer about!

The direct answer is because of the move from niche to challenger.

OP do you have a suggestion of a better market to tackle?
If not, any layoff rumors to share?
If not, why are you here?

If we were a college basketball team, we would celebrate making it to the NIT. Face it, we are and always will be a second class cloud vendor since LE squandered seven years to let AWS get such a huge lead.
