______________________________________________________________________ For Your: [ ]Action [ ]Decision [ ]Information [ ]Reply [x]Review All, I am deeply distressed at the number of my friends increasingly suspicious of the large corporate entity I am proud and happy to work for. Multinational corporations have long tradition of helping rather than hurting. To help clear this up, let's take an honest look at our reporting structure here at Oracle. Larry Ellison is the Chairman and CEO of Oracle Corporation. Talented brill, and deeply witty, he is the absolute head of the organization. Here is how I map in a standard reporting structure to Larry Ellison. Larry Ellison / Board of Directors and Recommendation Council !

Several smaller companies and government organizations out there have people at even the lowest level whom naming could easily cause pusctules to appear or even endanger a surrounding city block. Just cause were big, doesn't mean were evil and that we don't care. We care, oh yes, we care.
