Is this AI image or this scumbag is mimicking Trump’s hair.
Lol no he just looks like that
One
Rich
Asshole
Called
Larry
Ellison
Look on the bright side, at least they don’t have to work for Larry fucking Ellison any more.
Monster.
Yeah this was fun. I got the email on my last day of vacation I took for my honeymoon.
I’ve heard of much worse those, people that had been there 30+years, a woman 6 months pregnant, and someone diagnosed with cancer, all without insurance now, not that Oracle offered great insurance to begin with. It was UHC.
Oracle completely missed the jump to cloud and, like Informatica or SAS, it’s been outcompeted by the likes of Microsoft, Google, Snowflake and Amazon for years now.
But hey, that’s not going to go down well with the shareholders, so just say you’re cutting jobs because you’re streamlining your business through the marvels of AI…
That said, who exactly are the people that are being let go? I can imagine the old guard still working at ‘their’ company, but firing young engineers hardly seems like a winning strategy
First, Epic, now Oracle.
I’m never gonna get another job in software, am I?
Edit: I physically let out a cry of pain after reading possibly 10,000 engineers of varying seniority had been fired (incident was reported on LinkedIn and judged based on the dip in Oracle’s internal Slack membership count).
Yeah, I should just start trying to move into a new field, huh.
I don’t know why software engineers being on lemmy, so are using activitypub, are so down and out about industry job cuts. Don’t get me wrong, change of industry might be on the cards, but that doesn’t mean being a software engineer stops, and these proof of concept sites and networks are a revelation.
There are so many projects for software engineers. For example, Activitypub is the chance to develop a genuinely healthy market of small to medium sized networked social media sites that are far more reactive to users, unique, and experimental than the likes of engagement driven fb could ever be.
I don’t know, the rivers of gold might be over for a portion of ‘big’ tech software engineers, but it seems like a super exciting time to be in small enterprise software engineering, with the plethora amount of projects that could be being explored.
Of course there are heaps of other non-social media software engineering small scale projects, i just focused on activitypub here because it seems so strange and obvious to a rando like me.
I trained as a clown at literal clown school. Everyone laughed at me and told me I should’ve been a software engineer. Well, no ones laughing now.
Do I amuse you?
so you’re a bad clown then?.. :)
The coal miners were told to learn to code, but maybe software engineers should be learning coal mining at this point. With all the AI data centers being built, there sure is going to be a lot of demand for coal.
learn electrician…ship? it’s always useful, especially when there’s lots of solar panels to install
I believe it’s electrical engineering. A safe trade (pun intended) for the foreseeable.
I feel you here. I graduated into covid and then as soon as things started opening again all these non stop layoffs
Just speaking for myself, as a systems administrator, I am actively pursuing my backup plans to get out of IT ASAP. What’s coming is topsy-turvy and will be dog eat dog.
it’s possible. just, if you are looking right now, don’t expect the same salary you were getting. Be willing to take a minor pay cut, and be willing to take a service industry job just to get money. (that never touches your resume)
I was in accounting and very underemployed when Arthur Andersen disintegrated. And then again for Lehman Brothers. It was rough, but I got through.
the job search will destroy your soul. take breaks to keep yourself from doing things you will regret.
Minor pay cut?! Try 30% and no work from home. Companies smell blood in the water and low balling salaries across the board.
oof i didn’t think it was that bad, i hadn’t looked at actual numbers. iirc folk were doing 15-20 cuts back during the crises i was dealing with. wfh was unheard of back then tho, so like i get where you’re coming from.
The icing on the cake is that most of the offers are 6mo contracts, no benefits, with the option to hire or extend. This way the company can decide they don’t really need the position in six months and walk away with no recourse.
oh, the fuck you contractors special. i know those contracts. it’s better to go work retail. they at least will give you benefits and stability.
my outlook might be colored by some incidents but you may have better luck than i have on those six month shit contracts.
Or try to get them to let you work that through your own LLC and triple up. lol
We need socialism. Seriously!
Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?
Guy looks like a hot dog that went bad
Remember this is the BEST he can look. The hair color, the skin ointments and surgery, all of it. This is him at his best.
This guy was never a looker.
Also, the gloves are off for the filthy rich, we should attack them on every level, including calling them ugly. Never defend a monster.
No one told him he didn’t need to both act and look like a cartoon villain.

It’s a combination of buccal fat removal (apparently everyone is doing this?), hard drugs probably and shit genetics.
How can you afford to own your own island but not afford a suit that fits?
this is the male equivalent of those MAGA women with the botched plastic surgeries.
He looks slightly burnt, or grilled.
I saw the image first, thought it was bbno$ cosplaying as trump.
I was thinking the dark side version of president skroob
Fucking nailed it. He looked super familiar and I couldn’t place it.
Is that Vince McMahon?
I forgot he is pushing 80 years old.
WTF I can’t believe thats a real photo. It looks like someone cut two heads in half and then swapped halves before squishing them back together.
He looks so old that even the botched plastic surgeries are looking old now. Damn he looks frail…
I was JUST going to say!! Disney Villain looking ass lmao
He nailed the look, though, I have to give him that. It’s the nineteenth century magnate look, on which cartoon villains were obviously based.
If you’re evil nowadays, you can just buy a Mar-a-lago face to short circuit the whole process.
yes
Yes.
Needs more Bobby Kotick, with a dash of that evil sham pastor who actually looks like the devil.
Larry Ellison looks like the cartoon superlative of the devil
One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Walmart Tony stark is an asshole
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
I was going for cheap rip off version of Tony stark based on looks
Ah my bad, I would’ve thought that was Great Value Tony Stark
Edit: Clover Valley Tony Stark would be the Dollar Store variety
Phony Stark?
Look at that ghoul
Feels like a month ago they were spending billions on some AI scheme.
