Anyone still around in US timezone after the latest round is executed, be prepared to work during IDC timezone in addition to the regular hours that you already do as you all will be reporting into IDC.
IDC VPs have figured out there are no jobs in US . So IDC experience and work hours can be rolled out to every one left in US.
@dw First of all, I don't believe that is true. However, even if it were, we have to recognize that human bias is a two-way street. Every leader carries biases, and reporting to a biased manager is painful for employees, regardless of their nationality or religion. In fact, unchecked bias in leadership is a major cause of suffering in the workplace. Given the same leadership positions, most of us would likely act the exact same way. To claim that we carry no bias at all is simply ignorance.
" be prepared to work during IDC timezone in addition to the regular hours that you already do as you all will be reporting into IDC." <<< tell me you are a mo--n that can neither do basic math nor understand human physiology.
By the way i @dw is Indian. So my above comment is specific to certain Indian leaders forming their own group and don’t let any other come into their way. You bring up anything it has to go through this middle man.
You nailed it, and I’m sure this comes from real experience. The people laughing at this are often the same ones who form inner circles around certain executives, build their own little empires, and take credit for ideas and work they barely understand.
Some leaders reinforce this culture by surrounding themselves with people who simply agree with them—the kind of “x.y.z.Nathans” who protect their territory and inner circle rather than focusing on what is best for the organization. It becomes especially toxic when organizations are merged, with the incoming team sometimes treated like second-class citizens instead of being integrated, respected, and valued for what they bring.
This kind of leadership culture has seriously damaged Oracle’s reputation. Executive positions should be about leadership, collaboration, competence, and accountability—not protecting turf, rewarding loyalty, or behaving as though you own the organization.
And yes, those endless late-night calls are terrible, especially when they come from leaders who behave as though everyone must revolve around their little empire despite having limited understanding of the actual work.
To be clear, I’ve seen this behavior from certain Indian leaders who appear to favor people from their own ethnic or regional circles. The problem is not that they are Indian; the problem is leaders practicing favoritism and exclusion based on race, ethnicity, region, or personal loyalty. That is an unacceptable level of leadership failure and a terrible organizational culture.
Last time I checked, there were hardly 2-3 VPs in Hyderabad and one of them was riffed. In Bangalore there could be half a dozen. So these guys posting here are for pure fun. They didnt know &h!it
lol these posts are crazy 😂. I come here just to laugh
US companies will want to work with people in their time zone. So no, US based employees will not be working ISC TZ.
When I was part of the RIF last year my IDC-based VP didn't even bother to say goodbye, even after working with him for years.
I’ll join the IDC calls and fa-t into the mic and then drop
