I think the same about the products of antisocial or unempathetic companies. Hence my “no Oracle” policy.
- lumost 5y agoPeople work at companies for a variety of reasons. You never know if you're hiring someone who hated the culture of Oracle but wanted a job in their region working on DB technology. Or they come in via acquisition, or Oracle was simply the only job which would take them at their current pay - or they were ignorant of the reputation.
