   Well that's a big one.

   Perhaps firing expertise and hiring incompetents wasn't a good idea.

      Do you think this is a consequence of the seemingly quarterly RIFs at Oracle? Is it that offshoring wasn’t such a good idea?

         The irony, of course, is that this will likely have a negative impact upon Oracle's reputation, which will have a negative impact upon its value, which will then be resolved with more RIFs.

         It's okay. Larry got another island.

            I doubt it, look at all other breaches over the years.

            If anything Oracle will "contribute" a lot to congress people's midterm reelection and in a few months all will be forgotten and Oracle will get more Gov. contracts.

               I mean, the whole business basically started in order to get government contracts. Not even IBM can boast that.

            > have a negative impact upon Oracle's reputation

            Do they have any positive reputation left, or is it just more negative from the previous negative position?

            At this point if Oracle's reputation has any more negative impact it is liable to roll over and suddenly have an amazing reputation.

            So. The beatings will continue until morale/profitability improves?
