Oracle Japan Hires Dog

Oracle Japan has “hired” an old English sheepdog puppy as a regular employee:

Candy the dog will visit company offices once a week to visit the human employees and help raise their morale. When asked for a comment, Candy chewed up the microphone.

Hmmm, I wonder if Candy knows the difference between a hash join and a nested loop join. Oh well, a rub of the ears and a pat on the head is worth a lot more than knowing how to set up EJBs under OC4J.

Oracle must be a real rat hole to work for if this is the best “moral booster” they can come up.

What a bunch of cheap bastards – especially since they’re milking it for all the PR they can.

Oracle must never be forgiven for their sub-par product and service, and the terrible things they have done with the company since acquiring Sun.

But that’s a damn cute puppy.

I doubt they are actually using this dog for a morale boost, they are just going with the pr trend of japan. Sure making animals employees, station master, and citizens can be cute, but I’d prefer something from pr that actually mattered.

Wise move Oracle, but there will be only one true company Dog that would be Otousan for Softbank!
