Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: What happened to Howard Rogers ?
Howard's response is below. Hopefully this makes things clearer for
those who are still interested.
I worked for Oracle for 4 years, producing my own stuff in my
own time, to elaborate on questions that perplexed me, and
about which I would often get asked by Oracle course students
-because the "official" material either didn't cover it,
covered it badly, or just plain mis-informed.
Oracle claimed copyright on the lot, so I had to remove the material (Lydian Third is a site which copied the lot first, and despite repeated requests still hasn't removed it).
In June this year, I asked for permission to have a website again, offering to have all material and content vetted by anyone Oracle cared to choose for the job, before it went up. They refused. I also asked for permission to stay at home when I wasn't training, so that I could do research on Oracle matters. They refused that too.
In August, I therefore resigned. I finished work *for* Oracle on October 6th. I had two weeks of leisure, and now I contract back to Oracle, teaching much as before. Only this time, I get to write my own material, and when I'm not training, I can stay at home and do real research.
I was never sacked by Oracle.
Regards
HJR
