Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

What a sh---y company. Deliberately cheating their own employees. No interest in employee loyalty. No reason to be loyal back.

Congrats to the guy running side biz. I’ve just been running my stocks and what not. I applaud you.

To the person who mentioned the raise, that is so weird.

I wish this place did let me go a long time ago. I know it doesn’t matter today. The funny thing is rats think they matter.

Dude, that's awesome, and it happens so often across this and other companies, the whole "I haven’t worked in about 5 years and I’m still employed by this circus."

I've been doing nothing for about 9 years, kept thinking someone would lay me off, fire me, etc. but it just never happens. I even started a side business so I could make additional money, and I spend my whole day attending to my own business, with no regard for company business whatsoever. Sure I answer the occasional email, but that's all I have to do, and these chumps just keep paying me a salary.

When I got promoted I was told that any increase in my salary wouldn't take effect until the next year. What that increase was going to be, or when exactly it was going to be effective was unknown. I've never heard of such a strange practice anywhere else before.
