    Wouldn’t be surprised if, somewhere among these tens of thousands laid off this year so far, there’s another Luigi willing to go full old school Teamster.

  • Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?

      This is somehow both an insult to Tony Stark and Walmart. At least Walmart is just old fashioned business bastard evil and not, to my knowledge, apocalyptic techno-feudalist with immorality aspirations that belong in anime or comic books and a fucked up mannequin face

          Ah my bad, I would’ve thought that was Great Value Tony Stark

          Edit: Clover Valley Tony Stark would be the Dollar Store variety

    I can’t believe Oracle has 10,000 employees to begin with. What the hell are they doing that even needs that many people to begin with?

      Writing iron-clad, deal-with-the-devil level contracts that cannot be broken by mere customers. And nipping open-source projects in the bud via mergers and acquisitions.

      • These bastards grifted $300 million dollars from my state to build a single website for the Healthcare exchange after the ACA was passed. It never once worked and was scrapped for the federal government’s own version immediately after its “release.” To be fair, I also blame our state leaders for this as even your average moron could see this coming from a mile away. Even if it did work, who the fuck would spend 1/3 of a billion dollars to build a webpage.

    • Firing 30,000 of them. You can’t fire people if you don’t hire them in the first place. And as you all know stock price jumps after big layoffs.

    • Yeah, just like the other comment: likely mostly lawyers, lobbyists and trolls of all colors.

      When they renamed 23c to 23ai I cringed so hard. You don’t install the DB and get an AI, you get an empty DB that has vectors.

      • I mean, that wasn’t the first rename for silly reasons. There is a long tradition of this for Oracle DB naming. That “c” in 23c meant “cloud”. Nothing about the DB 23c required it to installed or run in the cloud. That was in 2012 with DB 12c. Before that in 2003 it was “g” in DB 10g for “grid” (remember the grid computing hype?). Before that in 1998 it was “i” in DB 8i for “internet”.
