Some teams could see reductions in double-digit percentages. The company has not commented on the reports. The layoffs would follow a year in which Oracle cut about 21,000 roles, or 13% of its workforce, dropping headcount from 162,000 to 141,000 by May 2025. In March, roughly 10,000 employees received termination emails at 6 am with immediate effect.
