Oracle Layoffs Shock India Workforce as 12,000 Employees Affected, More Cuts Expected

Globally, the company is estimated to have cut around 30,000 jobs. Two affected employees, including one from the human resources team, told Moneycontrol that the layoffs in India have already impacted around 12,000 workers, with further job cuts likely. Oracle employs about 30,000 people in India, including those affected. The company declined to comment on the development.

In an internal email, Oracle informed employees about organisational changes, stating that efforts to streamline operations had led to certain roles becoming redundant. “After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organisational change. As a result, today is your last working day," the mail said.

“After signing your termination paperwork, you will be eligible to receive a severance package subject to the terms and conditions of the severance plan. You will receive an email from DocuSign to your Oracle email address with details on your severance and termination date," it started.

The scale and speed of the layoffs underscore a major restructuring within Oracle, raising concerns over job security and operational shifts within one of the world’s largest technology companies, as thousands of employees in India face immediate uncertainty and further cuts loom.
