Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Hatred of Oracle predates "cancelling" by decades. Oracle is and has always been one of, if not the most disgusting and vicious companies in tech. They kill everything they touch.

If you need a political component, then Oracle = Larry Ellison, but Oracle hate predates and supercedes the American political slide into fascism.

I was at a party about fifteen years ago. A guy introduced himself and we gabbed for a few minutes. Then he asked what I do for work (IT sysadmin at the time) and I told him and asked the same. He said he was in sales for a tech company. I asked which one, and he stepped close and whispered, "Oracle." I could see he was prepared for me to bring the hate. He saved himself when he told me he was actually leaving for a gig at Dell. Later, I learned from the host that he made that part about leaving up because he felt bad. I later learned he went to work for Nutanix. Poor guy hated his own employer, and it was obvious.

Nutanix...oof. I deal with them every day. It isn't their fault their shit can't handle what we do, but it is their sales folk that constantly lie and misrepresent.

Wanna know one of rhe big reasons people hate Oracle so much? It's their sales guys. They are awful. If that guy went from Oracle to Nutanix, that tells me that I cannot trust a single syllable out of their mouth.

Sales? No, their sales department is second to their legal department in hate.

Lol! I'm glad you picked on that. I won't badmouth them, but the user experience does that for them. That guy from the party must hate himself, haha

their sales folk that constantly lie and misrepresent.

So... your average sales folk?
