Oracle layoffs began hitting staff worldwide on Tuesday, when more than 10,000 employees were told in a 6am email that their roles had been cut with immediate effect and that access to Oracle systems would be revoked the same day. The terse message, sent to workers in multiple regions and time zones, carried no executive name and was instead signed off simply as 'Oracle Leadership.'
This is being described internally and by Wall Street analysts as Oracle's largest-ever round of job cuts, touching teams across Oracle Health, cloud, sales, customer success and NetSuite. Employees say there was no advanced warning, no all-hands meeting, no town hall to brace them for what was coming.
