Summary
Oracle Corporation is preparing a new round of job cuts to be carried out by September 1, 2026, as it accelerates investment in AI infrastructure and data centres. Managers have been asked to submit lists of roles that could be eliminated, with some teams facing double-digit percentage reductions; employees worldwide, including at Oracle's India Development Centre, expect layoff emails around the start of the fiscal quarter. The article notes this planned wave follows a prior elimination of approximately 21,000 roles (about 13% of the workforce) in the previous fiscal year and outlines substantial restructuring and capital spending pressures driving the move. Oracle has not publicly commented on the impending cuts, and uncertainty remains over exact headcount reductions, severance, and impacts on unvested RSUs.
