Oracle Lays Off Thousands Including Long-Term Employees Amid Layoff Pattern Speculation

Oracle recently laid off up to 30,000 employees worldwide, including long-serving staff like Nina Lewis, who spent over 33 years at the company. Lewis suggested layoffs may have targeted high-level individual contributors and mid-level managers with significant stock options, hinting at a possible algorithmic pattern. The sudden dismissals, affecting regions such as the US, India, and Canada, have caused shock and uncertainty among employees, especially those with decades of experience.
