‘Today is your last working day’: Oracle starts fresh layoffs as artificial intelligence spending rises | Company Business News
Oracle has begun another round of job cuts, and notification emails told affected staff that roles were removed as part of organisational changes. Employment ended immediately. Some teams face double-digit reductions as Oracle borrows heavily for artificial intelligence (AI) data centres; its workforce fell 21,000, or 13%, in the year to 31 May 2026. Severance comes after signing termination documents.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Oracle's layoff emails told affected employees their roles were eliminated and that the day of the email was their last working day.
- An internal document showed planned cuts in double digits in some teams, though the total number for this round was not specified.
- Oracle's workforce fell by 21,000, a 13% decline, in its financial year ending 31 May 2026, and it employed around 1,41,000 people before the current cuts.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If a large client or vendor drives much of your revenue, review those contracts and your cash flow now, and ask your CA how any severance or one-time receipts would be taxed before you commit to anything.
