Lots of impact in Inderjeet / MW Dev Team
Main impacts in Java Platform, IOT, webcenter sites, Watch for Aria information on Inderjeet - Was 5500 HC last year, we're at 5009 now. How about next year ?
The storm looks to have started at least overcast with 95% chance of thunderstorms. Taking out whole teams!
Post any odd changes in BU's to give people a heads up and share the layoff site. Intel site is on fire since their big RIFs started in the spring. Time to plan.
Several former Sun employees got RIFs. 10-20 years experience. No team is safe not even cloud development/systems teams.
Teams in the US will see biggest impacts. Prepare for the worst.
RIF's and restructuring. No safe site except for cloud areas in low cost sites. EMC and HP have something in common.

Thoughts on how long the sparc will be around? Doesn't look good for its future. http://www.eejournal.com/archives/articles/20160707-sparc/
Looking to leave to Amazon lab; am now with Oracle sparc servers CA. Trying to grow my career before they move my job to India or China. China will soon be serious competitor in the cloud server market.

The future of the support engineers in Canada
Based on the cut backs around the globe and certain parts of the US. How do people feel the Canadian offices will be affected?
The shift to cloud will be brutal and many jobs to be lost. http://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-is-not-a-cloud-power/

Future of hardware R&D https://www.thelayoff.com/t/JVuoyF9#xus
Time to have a plan. Oracle lags these days but ends up figuring out that they have to play the same game to remain competitive or even stay in the game.
Market issues from seekingalpha
Summary The decline is hardware revenue is re-accelerating. Growth in cloud revenue is barely offsetting declines elsewhere. Given sluggish growth and deteriorating profitability, Oracle deserves a discount valuation.
Where have been the latest rif hits? Burlington engineering confirmed hits. As usual under the radar every month just a few.
This might be truer than we insiders know. http://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-is-not-a-cloud-power/

contrast MH to Mark Beniof a true leader and entrepreneur in tech. It's nice to see the mentee of LE saw the light regards to Oracle.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/16/salesforce_replace_oracle_database/ Arrogance might have paid off in the start of tech because of lack of options but those days are over. My bet is Oracle will be eating humble pie in the next few years.
Is there a worse CEO out there? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/19/oracle_openworld1/
You have to believe this guy is just buying time until he can cash in all his stock. Apparently all the execs took a payout after this earnings report. But wait look out Amazon there's a new cloud in town? Is it a new cloud or new clown? Good luck... — read more
