That 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?

It'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

This 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

Find more discussion about it by searching for "oracle lawn mower"

They 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.

MAANGs did passive-aggressive layoffs by requiring RTO and relocation to major metros.
