It has been a question for me if this framework has any customer? Considering that OCI didnt pick this up and went with some react stuff IIRC. The github for it https://github.com/oracle/oraclejet seems to be active, but I do not know if there is any... — read more 

Heard from folks in China that, when Oracle shut down CDC, it gives out N(1 month/per year) + 6(months) for the severance package, if you sign the the agreement. Any detail for the severance package in US?

There have been several posts about WLS.... one says it's dead.... one says they are hiring. What is the true story. I would guess it would around as long as on-premise is there. Is it used in other areas? What depends on WLS?

On premises and cloud business at Oracle will be split in two. New clearly defined organizations will be formed to support both. I spoke with a friend earlier this week who is a sales engineering manger at Oracle. He said he has heard of a massive... — read more

The parallels to IBM’s road to demise with bad product decisions, arrogance, and total detachment from the market place/ customers, plus all the unnatural financial contortions are unmistakable. Discuss

To begin with: WebLogic is reduce to core developers, just maintenance and very small features JDeveloper is on maintenance PSM is dead Application container cloud is dead.

Saw that a lot of folks left on their own in the past year, so what comes to mind is the question whether the leadership counted on that and saw that process coming? Do they welcome the attrition, in light of the goal for the company to go under 100k... — read more 

Many from our region left within a month...are you witnessing the same in yours?

Oracle recently merged support (ACS) and managed cloud services (MCS). Any ideas why? I heard they are now reporting on-premises support revenue as cloud revenue. That would explain this odd merger.

How is Nepotism/Politics in Oci?

I left Oracle about two months ago and working for an SI. I was surprised to hear from a team that recently released an application on OCI that it’s pretty good in terms of performance. They found some bugs in the implementation of Kubernetes but... — read more 

Is this a possibility that oracle will trim down and reduce the workforce and is doing this whole thing about splitting global services from the rest to prepare for a take over? I mean is it even a possibility considering the size of oracle?

No major layoffs this past week, total since 6/1/2016 remains at 23,686. End of FY coming up in a few weeks could well result in many more layoffs and changes. Keep looking folks, keep looking, the labor market is still going strong.

Two weeks left in the fiscal year and another 2 or so weeks until results are made public - and then the world will know what a total sh--show oracle is. Down the drain she goes!

Someone posted that they were contacted by a compensation lawyer. What was that about? Possible lawsuit? Class action? Anything happen there?

Folks, its NOT about technology. Oracle is 10 years behind the market but that's not why Oracle cloud will never be a profitable business for Oracle. The problem is TRUST. Customers don't trust Oracle owning their data and apps. Any commercial... — read more

Taking market share aside and just judging by merit of technology, is OCI technically on par or better than any of the Azure, AWS or google cloud? Ignoring the PAAS and SAAS offerings, that is.

Anyone here know how are they doing? Specially the ADF org since their c-appy UI is one of the reasons oracle apps are not sleek looking. I know many reasons but this would be one. And JDeveloper, is it in maintenance mode or still being developed?
