Very good deal for KC area Cerner cats who either work directly on their software product (building it or implementing it), but I'd be freshening up my resume if I were a Cerner back office cat.

I split this out of the investing thread, so I didn't clog that up with job stuff. Anyone out there a Cerner person or have any insidery info on how the acquisition will play out?

I don't work for either Oracle or Cerner, but have worked very closely with Oracle for eleventy billion years.

Cerner cat here - nobody knows anything. this has always been a rumor obvs but feels pretty weird to actually be happening.

My ex gf at Cerner that I still keep in touch with (no not that kind of touch Katdaddy) had been talking about a "takeover" for several months, guess this is what she was talking about.

That sounds scary. Hope everyone turns out ok.

Cerner brought a lot of clout and drove salary 8n the region, this sucks for KC I'd have to think

I know very little about the overlap between these two companies, is there quite a bit of job duplication for cerner folks now?

'taterblast · « **Reply #10 on:** December 20, 2021, 12:59:28 PM »

some, mostly in the data hosting world. none as it relates to frontend healthcare applications.

Pete · « **Reply #11 on:** December 20, 2021, 02:52:53 PM »

HR, IT, accounting and finance, marketing, procurement and sourcing, are all examples of what I’d expect to be duplicated and cut

It will take time tho. Like, don’t expect to get a new laptop or benefits enrollment for another year or so.

jobs are much cheaper here than on the west coast, just as t-mobile discovered
like pete said, overhead labor will be cut but i’d expect a decent portion of their other kc jobs to be relatively safe

what's with the refresh thing in Cerner? I have to tell it to refresh all the time instead of it just refreshing automatically.

Why does Dragon hate Cerner right now? Every 3rd time I restart my PowerMic III, powerchart closes.... It wasn't doing this with PowerMic Mobile.

Dragon is crazed again today. Latency issues, etc.

I went through one about 5 years ago that was about 60% of the corporate office in one day. Are we talking that level of biblical?

not in the same galaxy as far as % but hearing four digits

The good news is cats always land on their feet. Hope anyone that is impacted is alright.
