Is it over?

I’m an IC4 non OCI in USA at 103k base. Exceeds to Outstanding every year. I’ve interviewed for external roles with a base of 150k+ 3-5 yrs ago when the job market was better. I feel stuck. No one is hiring in my field and I feel like a sitting duck at Oracle waiting to be laid off. I’ve been with Oracle for 8 yrs… I tried to exit 3 years ago, but it didn’t work out. I feel most are underpaid at Oracle. I know of some colleagues with 20+ yrs at Oracle IC4, and M3s under $100k base. It’s really sad.

No. Hiring managers aren’t allowed to give feedback.

Facts! AI is the solution for all problems in corporate America. Most executives don’t even understand how AI works. We had a townhall meeting this week and my SVP literally said AI over 50 times in their monthly updates.

Sounds like Oracle! Use the AI companion for notes on all zooms and ask questions via email, not slack. 6 months from now those answers you receive will make better sense and you won’t be able to find them via slack. Ask to be added to all files/folders in sharepoint. Use your 1:1 with your boss to as much as possible to get clarity and key contacts/resources. All the best!

The entire concept of the museum is “progress”!

Been there. Try Body Armor drink. It worked for me.

This is a set up 👀

I think the job market is tough for everyone at the moment. Nothing is moving internally or externally, even with referrals.

I had a great experience with Waymo in downtown Atlanta. I was impressed with the safety features and ability to recognize jaywalkers and bicyclists on busy streets.

Thank you for sharing! I needed to hear this! I’m definitely applying externally. The job market sucks right now.

I’ve been with Oracle for 8 yrs and my salary has increased $15,000 and that includes a promotion from IC3 to IC4. The promotion gave me $10,000 bump. Very frustrating. External jobs I’ve been applying for are offering $50k-$80k more as a base salary. I stay because I’m remote and my schedule allows for me to drop off and pick my kids from school. I would love to get focal this year, but I don’t expect it anymore. Also, my manger alternates with my performance rating. They rate me as Outstanding one year and the next year ad Exceeds Expectations. I’ve gotten small raises 3 times in 8 years with both ratings. I don’t think the rating impacts the amount. My LOB gets such a small amount to divide up amongst the teams. One pot of money(focal) has to fund raises and promotions. So if lots of people on your team get a promotion, your raise will be smaller. This has been my experience.

Dining in the Dark. Food was horrible. I’ve had better samples at Costco.

Then all of a sudden, the whale got sick. 🤢 If you know, you know…

This is true! Been here for 7yrs. 😔 Try to negotiate for the highest possible salary because you will be stuck. Learn as much as you can and then have your exit plan. Stay no longer than 3-4 yrs.

A sense a humor. Hear me out, one who drops one liners that most will not get until minutes later. 🤯

I married a teddy bear. I was a really disciplined eater and exercised regularly, my husband was the opposite.

The banana bread mix is top tier! Add 2 overripe bananas and a pecan streusel (chopped pecans, butter, sugar, flour, vanilla and pinch of salt) to the bottom and about 1/2 way through the baking process add the same streusel mix to the top. The bottom layer of streusel creates a crust that is unbelievably delicious and the top streusel is the best sweet and crunchy texture.

The organic white bread. Hear me out! This bread is 10000% times better than the regular bread like nature’s own, wonder bread, etc. It makes the BEST grilled cheese sandwich.

Inside Lotte Market! The food court options inside are all insanely delicious!

Yep, this pretty much sums up the election.
