Oracle Prepares Potential September Layoffs Amid AI Investment and Workforce Restructuring
Oracle is reportedly preparing another round of layoffs around September 1, following earlier cuts of about 21,000 jobs globally, including roughly 12,000 in India. Managers have been asked to identify roles for potential elimination as the company aims to reduce payroll costs while investing billions in AI and cloud infrastructure. Although Oracle has not officially confirmed these plans, employees are anxious due to the timing and the company's previous early-morning layoff emails. The reductions could affect thousands, with some teams facing double-digit percentage cuts.
