BusinessOracle Announces Layoff of Nearly 30,000 Employees, Largest in Company History
Oracle has announced the largest round of layoffs in company history, cutting approximately 30,000 employees globally as it frees up cash to fund a massive AI data center buildout.
Oracle Corporation announced in late March that it will globally lay off approximately 30,000 employees, accounting for roughly 18 percent of its total workforce. Affected employees received an email from Oracle's leadership notifying them of their immediate termination, with no advance warning.
The layoff scale is particularly notable in India, where approximately 12,000 employees received dismissal notifications via email early in the morning (local time 6 AM).
Analysts point out that this round of layoffs is expected to free up $8 billion to $10 billion in cash flow for Oracle. The company plans to use these funds for large-scale construction of artificial intelligence data centers to meet the increasingly growing demand for cloud computing services.
In a March filing, Oracle disclosed that restructuring costs for this fiscal year could reach as high as $2.1 billion, with the majority allocated for employee severance pay.
The layoffs have sparked widespread market discussion about employment prospects in the tech industry. Some analysts believe that artificial intelligence development is currently accelerating the replacement of traditional technical positions.
Oracle's stock price experienced fluctuations after the news was announced, with investors holding mixed views on the company's long-term AI strategy outlook.
