You and Frank (Jython) were the only reasons I was considering Oracle products for any of my projects. I'm not going to reward bad behavior. Good lord, this is depressing.

I am sure the right company will seek you out soon. Good Luck!

There is nothing wrong with Oracle. They are a good company. I just don't see that you and them are a good match. I know you will find an excellent opportunity soon.

I'm still waiting to hear my fate: whether Oracle want me, and if so whether it's on terms I'm happy with. I guess UK management is taking a little longer over informing us. Sorry to hear that!
