Oracle Product Manager Claims He Was Forced Out for Refusing to Sell Vaporware

This of course does not necessarily mean that Oracle was not practicing vaporware, but it seems unlikely.
A smart/wise customer would avoid Oracle in the first place.

This is a comment from the original article:
It pains me to say this but it doesn't sound like a big issue here, more like they put a Project manager in a Sales/Account management role with inevitable consequences. If I must be fair to Oracle (must I?) it sounds like he was asked to project manage/account manage customers according to a Roadmap - doesn't sound too unreasonable to me. Most software companies would go bankrupt if they were asked to deliver something that is feature complete on day 1. Now if he was asked to promise delivery of software that he knew 100% would never be delivered as opposed to features that were just moving up and down a prioritised product roadmap - thats a different issue.
