Oracle Falls to #3 in DBMS Marketshare
Gartner just released 2022 results. AWS takes the top spot, Microsoft second. This is what happens when LE denies cloud for years. Oracle will keep dropping….
So what’s next for engineered systems?
Any word of re-orgs?
Which departments are being cut?
I read here about people who were cut, but I can't figure out which departments were affected. I'm safe for now but I intend to leave anyway.
what makes management so clueless to the outside world?
What makes sr. management so clueless to the outside world? Some of the folks who have grown old with oracle have no concept of what other companies are doing and why it works better. Oracle treats their customers like hostages.
What they forget
It is not so much being RIF'd. It is also how its done. The people who are treated wrong will someday likely end up customers. How long do you think they will keep Oracle in their company when they have an alternative. One reason the market is so... — read more

A little transparency would go a long way
This is the least transparent management I have ever encountered. How is this a good business strategy? Keeping employees in the dark?
Grab your ankles. Expect 342 million dollars in layoff packages paid out Tuesday May 2nd 2023.
Final round (for this year) .... yay. 927 million in severance packages were allocated for FY23 which wraps up at the end of May. Oracle used to layoff in June at the end of the fiscal year. The new and enhanced accounting system whacks people... — read more
Me right now !!!
Laid off and feeling lost, What once was certain is now tossed, The road ahead is unclear, But know that hope is always near.
It’s hard to stay motivated
If among those who get cut are many who worked really hard, while those who worked just enough to avoid getting into trouble survive, what kind of message does that send? They've cut a colleague of mine, who was a real pleasure to work with and... — read more

Oracle Managers, current or past, how did you monitor remote employees?
How does Oracle enable monitoring of employees? Do they track keystrokes? online time? mouse movement? do they turn on microphone or webcam? (these two seem like a serious invasion of privacy!)

Confirmed. NO focal in FY24 org wide
Just confirmed in our all hands by our GM. No formal focal across Oracle in FY24, regardless of business or individual performance. Reason given was the economic climate. How does this make you feel?
Years without a raise
I would never stay in a company where I wouldn't get any pay increase for years. So I wonder why those who say they haven't gotten a raise here in a long time don't look for better opportunities elsewhere?

Did Oracle ever have job security?
I’ve been here for a little over two years and in all that time I have been worried about layoffs. I can’t believe that it was always like this. I can’t imagine spending ten or more years at a company and constantly having to worry about my job. When... — read more
