Oracle Begins New Layoffs Amid Increased Spending on AI Infrastructure
Oracle has initiated a new round of layoffs starting September 14, with employees receiving early-morning emails informing them that their roles have been eliminated as part of a broader organizational restructuring. Affected workers lost access to company systems before notification and are offered severance packages. These cuts follow a prior reduction of about 21,000 jobs during fiscal 2026. Meanwhile, Oracle is significantly increasing capital expenditure on AI infrastructure, spending $28.5 billion in Q1 of fiscal 2027 and maintaining a forecast of $90-95 billion for the year, reflecting a strategic shift despite workforce reductions.
