Wouldn't be surprised if, somewhere among these tens of thousands laid off this year so far, there's another Luigi willing to go full old school Teamster.
One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?
He looks so old that even the botched plastic surgeries are looking old now. Damn he looks frail....
WTF I can't believe thats a real photo. It looks like someone cut two heads in half and then swapped halves before squishing them back together.
I was thinking the dark side version of president skroob
Is that Vince McMahon?
If you're evil nowadays, you can just buy a Mar-a-lago face to short circuit the whole process.
I was JUST going to say!! Disney Villain looking ass lmao
yes
Needs more Bobby Kotick, with a dash of that evil sham pastor who actually looks like the devil.
Walmart Tony stark is an asshole
This is somehow both an insult to Tony Stark and Walmart. At least Walmart is just old fashioned business bastard evil and not, to my knowledge, apocalyptic techno-feudalist with immorality aspirations that belong in anime or comic books and a fucked up mannequin face
I was going for cheap rip off version of Tony stark based on looks
Ah my bad, I would’ve thought that was Great Value Tony Stark
Edit: Clover Valley Tony Stark would be the Dollar Store variety
Phony Stark?
Look at that ghoul
I can’t believe Oracle has 10,000 employees to begin with. What the hell are they doing that even needs that many people to begin with?
Firing 30,000 of them. You can't fire people if you don't hire them in the first place. And as you all know stock price jumps after big layoffs.
- Layoff 30K people
- Stonk goes from $146.88 close yesterday to $145.25 close today after the layoffs.
- ??AI??
- Profit!
Yeah, just like the other comment: likely mostly lawyers, lobbyists and trolls of all colors.
But hey! We are in on the AI bubble !! /s
Kinda late to the party aren't they?
Oracle are not fast movers. But also this is not their first recent layoff.
