So short story time… Years ago, me, the guy I was dating at the time, his step father and mother are hanging out. She says her company finally decided who to hire to revamp all their internal stuff. (Oprah said something about their blenders and now a small Ohio company couldn’t keep up with demand). I’m a tech nerd. Boyfriend fell out of her. Step father used to work at DEC. we all have our reasons to be interested.
“Yea, we hired some company called Oracle.”
All of us had the exact same reaction. Perfectly in sync. It was not one of approval.
I warned her this will end in lawsuits. I was right, they sued Oracle from what I heard. Oracle lied every step of the way about what they could and would do. They missed every fucking deadline. They tested fuck all. Nothing ever worked the way it was CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to work. Because Oracle is basically a law firm that contracts tech work out to India.
She no longer works there which is why I can share this story.
