Based on my rough calculations (and acknowledging there are likely different data sources), Aria showed approximately 178K employees at the start of August. As of today, Oracle General slack channel count indicates just under 155K employees.
This suggests that roughly 22K employees have been impacted by RIFs so far in FY26 …that’s before accounting for EMEA and the Philippines.
Is my math off?
HAHA, nevermind.
After closer review, I find that despite mentioning an August number, neither you or any other poster mention checking Aria NOW!
The obliviousness is astounding!!!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
I have asked in at least four different threads for someone to actually go into Aria and check the total numbers there. This is an exact count, instead of an estimate from using Slack. Sometime between Aug 1st and Aug 8th, I totaled the numbers on Aria between LE and SC reports, and it came to 178,015. You were spot on.
So sad and frustrating that none could do or even be moved to acknowledge this item. For the company's sake, I am hoping it is because mainly the true laggards are the ones checking this board.
@c7 get the slack data for 5/31/25 and compare it to the ~162K number that Oracle reported in the FY25 10-K. The delta between the 2 numbers will be the number of non-full time employees in slack. I am guessing that the difference will be around 15k.
@c9 total doesn't matter, total count changes matter
@c4 the point being made is that slack appears to have a lot more than just full time employees in the count.
@c5 that what was said in the post you corrected...learn to read.
1) Slack total for the latest mass layoff which started on Mar24, 2026:
reductions: 13260, additions: 1598
2) If you want to count since August 2025 (start of previous mass layoff), estimates are:
reductions: 31437, additions: 10085
@a9 it’s the number the media has run with
@ad this is incorrect. On march 28 the oracle general slack channel was 165k
General is still at 154,887
Your source of workforce numbers seem to be inflated above what is officially reported. Oracle only reports the workforce numbers in the annual report. As of the end of FY25 Oracle reported 162K full time employees and it seems unlikely that they hired 16K employees in 2 months to get to your starting numbers and then have major layoffs.
Your workforce number may also be including interns, temp, part time, contractors, and others which are not impacted directly by the layoffs.
If your 22k value is right I would expect the FY26 form 10-
K to show a workforce of around 140K full time employees. We won't know this until some time in June and possible later.
From the form 10-K submitted to the SEC by Oracle for FY25 published 6/18/25:
Workforce
As of May 31, 2025, we employed approximately 162,000 full-time employees, of which approximately 58,000 were employed in the U.S. and approximately 104,000 were employed internationally. Our approximate employee counts by lines of business are:
29,000 Cloud services and license support operations
37,000 Services
31,000 Sales and marketing
50,000 Research and development
3,000 Hardware
12,000 General and administrative
The average tenure of our employees is approximately eight years and 30% of our employees have been employed with Oracle for ten or more years. None of our employees in the U.S. are represented by labor unions; however, in certain foreign subsidiaries, labor unions or workers’ councils represent
some of our employees.
OP, why are you holding the 30K number like it is some sort of verified standard? It was an estimate that came out of a media report and it stuck. It isn't by any means official.
Isn't 22K enough for you in one year? Read @a1's post it is probably on target.
In about 3-4 years time, this figure will be around 75K, which means 1 in 2 people in Oracle have a target on their back. Only question is when. Fusion tickets are already getting answered by AI agents. Except ADB, AI, there's no product roadmap for new features. The writing is on the wall. AI and Multicloud (which is euphemism for ADB on competitor cloud) are the only viable pathways. Adapt or die. Choice is yours.
