it would not surprise me to learn that in fact 80% of Oracle employees have turned over in five years (assuming the average employee is staying less than four years, which is consistent with what I have observed at similar big tech)
I once interviewed with Oracle Cloud (when it was going through its big-rewrite), and I was told the goal was to staff it with entirely new, not-Oracle people...the conclusion being that the first incarnation of Oracle Cloud failed partly due to staffing it internally
I don't agree that social pressures make this impossible as others have suggested...I mean, does anyone here shun someone else at a party who isn't drinking/doing drugs? of course not
it is quite common these days to meet normal, successful people who don't drink, lead healthy lifestyles, you will not be a pariah
don't worry about popularity - people who are fit and healthy have no problems making friends as being in shape is inherently attractive
> This is a politically-"leftist" site (top current thread is "How did you get into anarchism", along with something about ACAB)
tbh how is this different than most subs?
this is a feature, not a bug...it keeps these people out of the real world and glued to their keyboards where their blast radius is limited to their own echo chamber
most of the political/activist/policy-driven discussions on reddit have no impact on the real world and lots of energy is just dissipated into typing that goes in to a db and no further
case in point...most local subs are mobilized against NIMBYs...but NIMBYs tend to voice their concerns at City Council meetings (where it matters), not on the internet...guess who wins?
reddit just takes the energy out of activism and dissipates it
