Oracle went public years ago!

By definition, Purgatory has an end, but He-l does not.
We heard allll the rumors, info, whispers, etc when it was IBM vs ORCL.
Do you know why it went to ORCL instead of IBM? Because IBM would NOT agree to golden parachutes for the Execs and ORCL would. That's it. Even Schwartz felt IBM was the better deal and better fit but was totally steamrollered.
Basically it was the save their own hides and a big middle finger to everyone else else.
The nightmare is still alive for me. No proof of anything.
There are a few good things to say about Austin, like I don’t live there!
OP, I think you are really going to "enjoy" being relocated to Austin TX! Just when you think it can't get any worse................ IT DOES!
They squeeze everything they can, then realign to squeeze some more, until they let you go!
Nah, O was seriously sh I t t y way before the JAVA acq (at least get the ticker correct, that happened before the acq).
Lots of folks from Sun were lured away to O, and many boomeranged back in the decade before O took over.
We heard allll the rumors, info, whispers, etc when it was IBM vs ORCL. Neither was thrilling but O was considered to be the worst of the two. Turned out to be as bad due to the ridiculous co-CEO era, with axman supreme Hurd at the point.

I’m sorry. I hope things get better for you.
ID: @fsh+1nvWpAw7 Me too.
I left years ago, but the nightmares continue.
So WHY are you still at Oracle? If it’s this bad for you, then find something better and get outta there.
“Career Inertia” is always a problem with employees, maybe it’s the fear of going somewhere that may expect more of you, but likely it’s just wanting to stay with what’s familiar.
It just keeps getting worse and worse.
So .... repeating the same motions expecting different results? I see ....
