Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

OP is on the list

What is the criteria here, more number or more money with less people, or more money with more people.
In india also 10 plus experience people have salary more or less equal to freshers but performing well. What's the use of layoff them.

They could save a ton of money removing a ton of the mgmt who have literally done nothing but make it a harder place to work...and slowed down tons of progress. For real, the world will not blink an eye. Customers can go wherever they want and get the same products and services and prob not have to deal with some of the circus.

He told me that "it's our little secret"

Uncle Larry promises that you will learn to enjoy this.

I hope I can ask to be on the list.

30,000+.

does it really matter if it is February, March, April, May or even June

A layoff is a layoff!

Oracle has already allocated 1.6B money for its layoff. The analyst count of 30000 is based on those numbers. If Oracle uses its full remaining allocation 700+M to layoff people then around 18000 people should be affected.
Q3 FY26 (Projected) $400 Million 9,750 people
Q4 FY26 (Projected) $388 Million 9,460 people.

Now the question is how Oracle is going to layoff this number? all at once or in splits.
The another questions is if Oracle is use all its allocation?

For assumption if it just uses 50-70% of its allocation then the minimal layoff is 9000-12000 people.
This 9000-12000 is for sure without which Oracle can't survive. Again its the minimal quoted.
The above numbers are mainly done if reasonable senior positions are eliminated. If only lower grade positions, the numbers will be huge (12000+).

Expect more middle management to go. Specially lots of Managers, Senior Managers, Directors and VP's to go. This is the only way to reduce the headcount in divisions.

Some Directors might report directly to Senior VP so they can cut down VP role.
If a Director holds less headcounts they might be targets
If your project shows less revenue (or) just a cost center, then the entire org might be wiped out.

Oracle has been squeezed from the “SaaS apocalypse" trade (initiated by Anthropic) and from the lack of confidence by the banks/investors to lend money to the Open AI venture.

LEA has ordered to remove positions 30k positions to combat this situation , at any cost

Stock analyst says: “Oracle has a balance from He-l”;

Another one said: “Oracle to slash up to 30,000 (high paying) jobs to fund AI data-center expansion

Majority of these cuts to come from high cost areas such as NA and western Europe.

Banks and professional analysts know a thing or two that OP doesn’t.

OP is worried to be part of that list, rightfully so

It’s even higher cuts for India. 2x as much

@OP What's the basis for these counts? And why middleware, DB higher than OCI this time? DB has historically been the most stable among the orgs.
