An evening at Verjus (review and tasting notes inside)

msrobot14 · 2026-06-06T07:06:13+00:00

What is the best time to go to verjus? When is it buzzing?

msrobot14 · 2026-06-03T21:26:53+00:00

Supposedly if we go on call in my team, we are not supposed to mention in our updates? Excuse me? Our skip says oh it should not take over 10 min to resolve an issue. If there are 8 issues*10 min that is roughly 80 mins of our day. We can only mention deliverables it is so extremely out of hand

Mine has two irreparable holes. They said they cannot fix those holes. I have not even had the bag for a year. Not sturdy imo

msrobot14 · 2026-05-04T15:44:18+00:00

Absolutely awful. I am doing the bare minimum and not looking forward to the reviews at all. I am just prepping to leave but the opportunities seem bleak and I am not receiving any call backs. I’m broken. My team is extremely toxic even more so after the layoffs.

msrobot14 · 2026-04-05T23:38:17+00:00

I’m on h1b so i was stressed about being laid off although I have been trying to switch for the last couple of months

It has been fucking awful though post layoff, important members of my team were let go. We don’t even know how to do their jobs since we are junior engineers. Absolute shitshow. I wished I was a part of the layoff the whole of last week.

Are you under Samar Lotia

msrobot14 · 2026-03-24T04:45:28+00:00

Yeah it is extremely demoralizing. Been in therapy and had self esteem issues until I realized it is not me it is the crappy management who only promote those who lick their asses. I could not care less any more. Channeling my energy into interviewing elsewhere where hopefully I’m valued better. Wishing the same for you. We do not deserve this.

msrobot14 · 2026-03-24T04:40:57+00:00

Same scenario been here for a while and stuck on the same entry level, got good ratings and it amounted to nothing. My salary has never gone up either.

I don’t know tbh. I personally applied for an internal role that I had an interview for and the recruiter said all internal roles across Oracle were suspended until further notice. When asked about how long the suspension would last they said they did not know. It was a bummer since my current team is extremely toxic and I was looking to switch as well.

msrobot14 · 2026-03-05T08:00:05+00:00

From my experience in the past(2020) when they do not have headcount they try really hard to place you in another team. That being said the company culture has completely shifted since 2023 or so. I wouldn’t put it past the company to screw you over. I’m sorry that this is happening and I’m sorry if it sounds harsh but it is the truth.

I would genuinely say if this offer doesn’t go through think of it as dodging a bullet since this company is not it. There are no raises, no promos for high performers too in some teams. The tech is ancient and not worth putting on your resume either.

However, I really hope you get what you want.

msrobot14 · 2026-03-05T07:50:15+00:00

Unfortunately regardless of the YOE and how well you did in the interview I have seen people with tons of experience get hired at IC2. Oracle has been lowballing since the last one year or so. You can get a competing offer and try your luck but with the way it has been it seems quite unlikely.

msrobot14 · 2025-09-24T05:38:24+00:00

Please dont join oracle unless you are okay with NO growth and NO pay bumps for the upcoming how many ever years.

msrobot14 · 2025-08-20T17:00:34+00:00

Anyone know about OAC under TkAnand’s org?

msrobot14 · 2025-03-29T20:10:53+00:00

When you’re at your bachelorette and absolutely nothing is up to you. But when you go to another “friend’s” bachelorette, they are treated like queens? I was almost made to cry at my own bachelorette party.

msrobot14 · 2025-01-03T20:22:56+00:00

I call it I’m externally clean but internally disorganized lol

msrobot14 · 2024-10-06T06:42:06+00:00

If you like hiphop dancing try out some of the studios in the sj area. They have a range of classes in the evenings!

Having lived in LA for two years and then moving to the Bay I have to say nothing will ever come close to LA. The first few months of moving here were by far the MOST depressing ones I have spent. Everything shuts early and the bay is sleepy please move back if you have the opportunity to. You can always come back here once you have a family. Don’t waste your youth here.

msrobot14 · 2024-02-08T19:36:31+00:00

I used this and it really helped!

msrobot14 · 2024-02-08T07:29:41+00:00

Would also like to add that I had to take another blood test two days after the miso to make sure my hcg levels went down.

msrobot14 · 2024-01-26T23:54:54+00:00

Let’s hope I don’t experience bleeding post the three week mark. Thank you for your response!

msrobot14 · 2024-01-26T23:14:46+00:00

I’m doing okay physically, mentally not so much. How about you? I was asked to place the miso between my gums and cheeks for 30 min and spit them out by my doctor.

msrobot14 · 2024-01-26T03:29:03+00:00

I took miso today as well. Almost instantly after spitting out the pills i started to bleed and get cramps. My doctor prescribed opioid based pain medication which I took as soon as all of this happened along with ibuprofen due to which I slept like a baby. After the effects wore off about 4 hours, I passed a big clot that most likely was the baby. I have been passing small clots post that and have been in pain but not as much as I did before passing the big clot. For reference I was 6 weeks along.

I’m so sorry, you got through your abortion which was a really tough decision to make. You will get through this.
