I see that the layoffs i relatively smaller portions are happening quite often,and are restricted to certain locations and departments. The fact is that they are happening in this manner more and more often. Is that the new strategy and the new practice, or what?

There's talk of small but impacting cuts happening in Ireland South and North soon.
Given the sheer size of Oracle some churn is natural. Some companies do it thru layoffs; some do it via aggressive workloads/performance reviews; and some do it thru PIPS.
At any rate, all companies continuously calibrate their LOBs based on market and/or company direction.
But, according to the tinfoil hats here, Oracle is behaving nefariously and no layoff/reduction is justifiable.
This also helps stay under the radar for employment regulations in many regions. The frequent, smaller RIFs is the new normal.
Death by a thousand cuts, which of course is the worst possible way to manage an org, but what else would you expect from the 3 stooges!
Part of it, always has been, with intermittent larger layoffs, always swept under the rug, of course, because oracle lacks the maturity to admit to layoffs
