I am interviewing now at a company and am expecting offer by end of this month. If I resign on June first week, would I get my due stock options during my notce period of 30 days?
3 doomed giants - Intel, Cisco and Oracle
check this website, LOL
happening now?
Ax-man says it's happening now and Oracle will be a different company come next Monday. Anything happening? Anyone? Looks like tomorrow has to be the day, if Ax-man is right.
Quick wins and not thinking long term?
I had a chuckle over the post in one of the threads below about people in this company looking only at quick wins and ignoring the bigger picture and long term effects. That's right, Oracle has become obsessed with improvements that have immediate... — read more
This lawsuit really says it all....
If you missed this or haven't bothered to read it, you need to read this: http://andrewwatters.com/law/oracle/Maynard-Koran%20-%20FAC.pdf Management everywhere in Oracle operates like this. You would think AWS people should be warned by now... — read more
Oracle COVID Policy?
What's Oracle's COVID policy if an employee tests positive? In this case, my employee is a remote worker
Taking someone else's credit
Someone here reminded me of a situation when I had just started working at Oracle. I worked for a long time on a project and made the best effort to finish it, and then a colleague took all the credit nonchalantly. I was in total disbelief and I was... — read more
Redwood shores to close??
Think about it...opening of new campus in TN and moving HQ to TX? With remote option available. Already gave up lease in island parkway...Why would they keep RWS buildings in the long–term. Thoughts?
Meeting the deadlines
I've never missed a deadline before, but lately it happens more and more often that I can barely get to meet the deadlines. Does it happen to you too? I don’t know if the problem is in me and my motivation or the demands are getting more... — read more
The best time to move on
I started job shopping recently and I was pleasantly surprised at how many available options there are simply because there are so many remote openings. Moving is no longer an impediment for so many positions and I can't tell you how happy that makes... — read more
Manager shutting me out
At first I ignored his behavior and it was even funny to me because I knew right away that he was doing it out of frustration. However, it has become very tiring now. Have you ever felt like your manager is behaving like this and trying to lower... — read more
When do May layoffs start?
I heard that they're calling the May RIF The Big One, and in my experience whenever a layoff event is given a name, it's not a good sign for anyone...
Oracle culture
Does Oracle have toxic, competitive culture as a company or is it just my team? I joined 18 months ago (nearly to date) and I've never worked anywhere where there was less cooperation and more competition (and not in a positive let's compete so we... — read more
Will there still be big layoffs in April?
Ax–man posted big layoffs in April. Still not happening. Maybe they were waiting for the results of the Israel deal? Will those layoffs still happen?
Why Oracle Stock Dipped today?
What is the reason
Creating 8,500 new jobs?
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/oracle-plans-1-2-billion-campus-in-nashville-creating-8-500-jobs-01618437488 Are we creating new jobs? In Nashville? Or are we transferring your job? Ready to move?
ORCL approaching $80
For all those here who were predicting that ORCL would tumble to single digits, may I suggest roast crow with orange sauce, roasted potatoes and braised asparagus?
FY22 Reduction in pay for Apps OD

Why I don’t care.
I don’t care about being good to my customers cause Oracle hasn’t been good to me in a very long time. I have a call with a customer in a few. If they start giving me attitude, it’s gonna be stopped. The slobs in my GBU’s mgmt would have us wipe... — read more
Layoffs at the HUB
I'm surprised none of the regular named or unnamed posters mentioned this here today.
Attracting talented, good people
This company is no longer a place that attracts talented, skilled and dedicated people, but very average ones who are least interested in their work. Such people think they are something special just because they work at Oracle. I don’t know what... — read more
Is there a reason to go the extra mile anymore?
Is the extra effort rewarded by anything but more work? That's how it's been feeling for the last several years. What happened to proper bonuses, promotions, pay raises, etc? I'm also curious if this is a company-wide issue or am I just that unlucky... — read more
Well it's clear Oracle has no future
Oracle clearly has no future. At first I thought it was just problems in the group I was in, work going to India, people leaving, etc. And I thought that other parts of the company were still going well. Then, there was the lawsuit... — read more
Forcing yourself to work?
So that's how I would briefly describe my working day at Oracle. I literally have to force myself to start working because I have never been more demoralized and tired. I thought it was just a phase, since I really like the job I do and I tried to... — read more
COMPARATIVELY- is selling Oracle ERP (cloud-based) a good spot to be?
I know, I know- I've seen the posts. Believe me- I currently work for a ~similar~ co selling software and it is largely the same environment, based on the comments I've seen. That being said, I haven't seen much about where the GOOD parts to be... — read more
Belfast Ireland office, office closure inevitable
The redundancy payoffs of last year have paid off, half of those left have now resigned. Those weak enough to still be there and think their jobs are safe are not far from unemployment
"The subject who is truly loyal to the Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures."
HEAVILY weighting the attainment of seven arbitrary certifications, regardless of their efficacy, makes poor business sense. Reward desired behavior, if you will, but don’t punish. People are already walking, but perhaps that was the goal. Think... — read more
Worse than ever
I was never as unhappy working at Oracle as I am right now. The company is changing every year and none of it is for the better. This used to be a job I enjoyed immensely but by now they managed to suck all the fun out of it. Nobody pays attention to... — read more
Criminal Lawsuit filed against OCI and exec TG

April layoffs are unusual
It seems like the layoffs for the last few years are usually in March? Ax-man's post sounded like he really knew they would be in April this year. I am wondering if management was waiting for some things, maybe SCOTUS ruling? or big deals? If... — read more
I don't see a bright future here
Things have been deteriorating here for years, slowly but surely. I'm among those who were hoping to continue to grow their career here but I've been stuck in the same position for years while I see less knowledgeable and less productive people get... — read more
Why are managers egoistic
I have worked in 4 companies, but here in Oracle I can see Managers are too egoistic. There isn't any fair and free communication. I feel managers should join mainstream political party rather than working here. Anyways, People are getting... — read more
Google migrates from Oracle to SAP
This is not a discussion of Google Cloud vs Oracle Cloud, because Google has been running their Oracle ERP in GCP and the new SAP is also in GCP. This is a discussion of SAP winning big Oracle ERP customers. To put this in perspective... — read more
A dark day for everyone

Quality of OCI Sales

The last piece of Chinese Dev Center completely closed
98% of people in CDC have already been laid off at May2019/Nov2019 and Oct2020. Now it's the turn of the last 2%. There should be few guys from CDC here. If any, maybe we can have discussions here.
