“No heads-up from human resources, no conversation with a direct manager, and no advance notice of any kind.”
Thirty thousand people across the US, India, and Mexico got a termination email at 6 AM from “Oracle Leadership.” No meeting. No warning. No conversation with a manager. The cuts free up $8 to $10 billion for AI data centers. Oracle is laying off 18% of its workforce to fund infrastructure for a technology that is supposed to make workers more productive. The irony writes itself.
