Oracle Conducts Second Wave of Layoffs Targeting Cloud Business Roles
Oracle has initiated a second wave of layoffs primarily affecting its cloud business, with a leaked document revealing that about 546 employees, or 7.6% of the America Cloud Infrastructure unit, were laid off. The cuts notably impacted software developer III roles, program managers, and core infrastructure engineers. These reductions come amid Oracle's efforts to manage costs while expanding its artificial intelligence infrastructure. The full extent of the layoffs remains unclear, and the company had already reduced its workforce by 21,000 employees earlier in the fiscal year.
