The 2 CEOs. What are they doing? Numbers to make Oracle Stock looks betters by laying off people, including the future of Oracle (aka. OCI)?
There is no massive layoff coming
The tinfoil hat brigade is in full affect due to some 'vibes.' Most likely a reorg. Some trimming due to this shuffling. That's it. It's expected since TK left only a few months ago. It's a delayed trickle down affect. But for every rustle in the... — read more
