Nevon has this advice for PeoplePeople:
Benevolent or paternalistic aren’t words that have ever been seriously associated with Oracle or with its founder and CEO, Larry Ellison. Business is business, and now that PeopleSoft is about to disappear into Oracle’s labyrinthine halls, everybody is going to have to cut the best deal that they can.
So, to all PeopleSoft employees, that means taking a close look at your role at PeopleSoft and soberly considering whether there will be a place for you in the new organization.
