We just sold ourselves to Oracle. Now, is that good or bad ?

Good if you have a lot of Siebel stock at rock bottom prices that oracle is ready to pay 10.66 for.
Good if you can get a Oracle stock that you can sell to make a quick buck or million
Good if you can retire on what you'll get by selling your siebel stock and not have to work any more
Bad if you worked hard to make the product what it is and now have to see it being thrown away
Bad if you are about to be thrown away
Bad if given what you were doing jobwise the only place you can get a job is Oracle
Bad if Oracle doesn't want you

I hope some good will come out of this for you. In the least I hope nothing bad comes out of this for you.

Hehe. I hope so as well. Thanks for the wishes. At this point, I have no idea how things will turn out. Things are a bit jittery all around.

I am personally bullish and optimistic, so no chintey on that front. :)

Does it impact you any way - if at all?

Ma'am,
It will, in quite a big way, although I don't know how yet. Consider that the company I work for will cease to exist :)

As an aside, where are the photos from your/Sid's trip down south ? Send them across, I am eager to see 'em.

Well it's more like the planet I am a part of joins a whole new galaxy :). But what I meant was on a daily basis does your work change, the kind of work you do and all. Did they not tell you in advance? These are probably really silly questions - but I don't know how it works at all.

Hmm, not really silly. I know just as much as you do. In fact, I think it came as a surprise for everyone except the dealmakers, the 5-10 top people from Oracle and Siebel.

I guess it starts with an offocial announcement. Then, everyone top down will start to integrate with each other. ..

Daily basis - haan, shaayad change hog. I guess, depending on how the team integrates with the other company....
