Hilarious to me Oracle has no issue with remote work while Apple, Amazon, Google, all flip out Deals they cut, whether it’s leases or tax breaks, are not my responsibility. Aside from Apple, the only thing the anti-remote places have is brand recognition. The knowledge they possess is worker knowledge. They’re having a hard time justifying valuations since their real social value is corralling workers who are then too busy to storm DC, and those workers seem keen to corral themselves.

  It's not like they haven't done this before (but for salaries) [1] - they got off with a minuscule fine ($415M - better than the cost of doing business as usual) why wouldn't they do this again?

I wonder how much real estate Oracle owns compared to the others?

  US list is online: https://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/field-offices.html https://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/field-offices.html I never went to one of their offices. Probably boring office park vibes. Unlike the space donut and amusement parks it sounds like Apple and Google workers require to crank leetcode

    Offices are ok, but nothing like FAANG (I've never been to Netflix's hq, but am guessing). Cafeteria food wasn't free either, though was pretty cheap.

  Doubt it's that. They have a normal amount of real estate for a software company. From what I've seen of their culture (at least some parts) it's just more relaxed. Maybe not in cloud but in other areas. They also seem to go in less for other top-down imposed cultural trends like DIE.

To be fair Oracle is a ** company relying on a 50 year old monopoly product. Apple Amazon and Google are a different league.
