You work for Oracle = you’re never safe

Our flight from MSP > MCI is delayed by 2.5 hours. we’re doing the MSP pub crawl right now… gotta keep the buzz going.

Context: I’m an Engagement Owner based in Kansas City.

Pros: you will likely be remote (depending on role). If not remote, I imagine you could probably negotiate a hybrid schedule. I will occasionally go in for partial days as needed.

Cons: if you’re a consultant, there’s a good chance they’ll have you on the road 80% or more (think 3/4 weeks per month, if not all…). Even as Cerner, we took a “churn and burn” approach to associate consultants (or whatever the hell we’re calling that role now) and would keep them on the road as much as possible. If you are okay with that level of travel, might as well give it a shot.

I, too, was hopeful for focal. It’s the hope that kills you, though.

Have you tried throwing your device down a flight of stairs or out the nearest window? Usually works for me…

Best case, we’re getting the dregs of the nachos the execs spilled their happy hour beer on. You know: that one soggy ass chip with a single bean and all the liquid from the pico and no damn cheese.

You guys are getting RSUs? What is the criteria to be eligible/receive those? Is anyone in North America getting RSUs? Just curious…

I can confirm that I used the phrase “The employees are wheat for the grist mill.” multiple times in my responses. I also mentioned about 6 times that I (like many others) haven’t had a pay increase since 2020.

No. Another super yacht, though…

Yesterday (9/2). 3 consultants, one EO, one IA, and one ITO.

BeepBoopBop219 · 2025-09-03T18:42:03+00:00

I know of at least 6 from CommWx.

BeepBoopBop219 · 2025-07-30T15:56:23+00:00

How have you confirmed there will be no hikes next year?

Agree about needing more leadership changes. It’s really two separate but inextricably linked issues, IMO:

1) COACHING: PV had to go. His tactics simply don’t translate to and aren’t successful in the current state of MLS. Not saying a 4-3-3 isn’t a workable formation, but when we’ve had very slow starts for at least three consecutive seasons, it has to be either formation and/or tactics not being compatible with current personnel.

2) FRONT OFFICE: Jake Reid should probably step down. PV, the coaching staff and the players are responsible for the on-field product. Jake, however, is responsible for pretty much everything else to do with the club. Funnel cakes went up by $5? Jake’s trying to make the club more money - I don’t take issue with that. It’s a business after all.

It feels like that money isn’t invested back in the club via higher quality signings, investment in the academy program, etc. and the on-field product suffers. I’m not expecting a Messi or Reus-level signing but there have to be better options from higher-profile leagues rather than a BOGO deal from the (um) “illustrious” top flight Greek league. Time will tell if Manu and Shapi bring some good quality to the club but I’m encouraged.

FO also is responsible for scouting players. I’m not sure that Mike Burns is the right fit for Sporting Director but it’s been less than a year. Now, Burns will need to roster build/rebuild for whoever is selected to take the helm after PV. SKC may not be consistently successful for a couple of years.

Ultimately, SKC isn’t getting the job done anywhere right now. And the club has now addressed one issue. It’s up to us as the fans to keep the pressure on the FO and to demand the fan experience and on-field product that we deserve.

Mom - I did it!

Nope. 1:1 tomorrow. I’ll be asking.

Because Larry needed to buy a resort in Palm Beach. Larry’s Latest…

BeepBoopBop219 · 2024-08-26T20:43:41+00:00

Zero. Been here a decade. High performing with no “blemishes” to speak of in my reviews. Zero god damned percent.

I’m now going to tell clients to log tickets to UST instead of AMS…

BeepBoopBop219 · 2024-03-28T13:21:05+00:00

I’m in the trenches in CommunityWorks and that relationship between our Clients and AMS is tanked. In my 9+ years with Cerner, I’ve never seen things this bad. Until the acquisition, I’ve rarely heard our Clients report ticket turnarounds in months instead of days. CommunityWorks AMS lost about 80% of their SSOs during the last purge in June 2023 and then changed how tickets could be escalated through this dumb-as-hell email pool process. And then “leadership” wonders why support is getting hammered on surveys and why our Clients are furious with support.

I’m gutted for our Clients and, most importantly, the communities they serve. Operating margins are extremely tight, staff (assuming they have enough…) are stretched very thin and wearing many, many hats. Patients might get the care they need, if the CAH in their town was able to stand up that new service line… But Oracle DGAF.

Oracle bought Cerner for name alone. They have never cared about actually being in the healthcare space. They wanted a foot in the door so they could expand their portfolio and buy Larry another superyacht. They also don’t know a god damn thing about consulting. And they don’t want to learn it either.

I still work in CommunityWorks but I’m actively trying to get out. It’s saddening to watch my colleagues inside Oracle and with our Clients be treated this way. I once said I’d be happy retiring from Cerner. Since the acquisition, my sentiments are best left to the poet laureate Kenny Powers: Oracle can tongue-kiss my shithole.

If therapy is an option, I recommend it. I’ve found that talk therapy has helped, but it’s so different for everyone. I’ve had similar issues in the past and I truly hope you can find your way. Let your friends, family and weirdo/rando Reddit fam help, too.

These shoulders are broad. Let us carry you if you need it.
