In addition, Svetlana Blackburn was literally fired for refusing her managers' orders to cook the books on Oracle's cloud revenue.

Management orders her to cook the books, at a public company!!

She's fired, she sues.

Oracle counter sues.

How is this ethical?

I can't imagine this was a good use of the company's lawyers' time (although it was probably good from the lawyers' perspective).
