Seems to just say that entrepreneurs are finding the Austin tech crowd to be lackluster. Though this was funny:
> We've seen one big shift away, and that was Oracle. So they moved from California to Texas during post-pandemic era, and now they've moved to Nashville.
- unethical_ban 1y agoThat stuck out to me, as well. How crappy must it be for your company to unexpectedly lift and shift people across the country twice in half a decade? Or are they firing people and hiring new ones?
- 10hr 1y agoAren't these just openings of new campuses i.e. expansion and they label 1 their "HQ"
- dralley 1y agoIt's Oracle, I can only assume that hostility to their employees is part of the package, since it seems to be their default state towards everyone else :P
- acquiesce 1y agoCue the presentation YouTube vid.
- DemocracyFTW2 1y agowhich one?
- hoherd 1y agoThis is the video and timestamp where Bryan Cantrill goes off about how awful oracle is. It's kinda famous around here. https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc&t=35m30s https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc&t=35m30s Find more discussion about it by searching for "oracle lawn mower"
- ternaryoperator 1y agoThey didn't lift and shift many employees. These are primarily legal changes. Safra Catz is still in California (as are most senior execs), Ellison in Hawaii.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoMAANGs did passive-aggressive layoffs by requiring RTO and relocation to major metros.
- acquiesce 1y ago> Austin tech crowd to be lackluster Is this codeword for the tech crowd expects salaries in US dollars?
- ikr678 1y agoCan't imagine why skilled migrant workers arent flocking to red states.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoI was born in San Jose and lived on the SF peninsula for most of my life. The tech scene of ATX compared to SF-SV isn't comparable at all.
