Oracle layoffs offer a warning: 5 money moves to make before the pink slip arrives | Mint
Oracle has cut 546 jobs in its America Cloud Infrastructure unit, about 7.6% of that team, as it restructures around AI. Tech layoffs are rising across companies. The lesson is simple: build your emergency fund while your salary still comes in. Work out essential monthly expenses, keep twelve months in safe, liquid options, and don't count unvested stock.
