Oracle has reportedly begun a new round of layoffs affecting about 30,000 employees across the United States, India, and other regions, with former employees suggesting that around 12,000 of those cuts may be in India alone.
According to multiple netizens, termination emails were sent as early as 6 a.m. on Tuesday, catching employees off guard with no prior communication from managers or human resources.
The job cuts appear to span several business units and geographies, impacting teams such as Revenue and Health Sciences (RHS), SaaS and Virtual Operations Services (SVOS), and NetSuite’s India Development. Some groups experienced workforce reductions of 30 per cent or more.
In one instance shared on Reddit, the company attributed the layoffs to “certain organizational changes” in its email to the affected employees. Those impacted were reportedly offered severance packages as part of the exit process. Reddit users said the severance package offers 30 days of gross pay for every year of service, along with one month of garden leave and an additional two months’ pay, plus some compensation for insurance.
Many employees said they were informed solely via email, without any one-on-one discussions with HR or their managers. Shortly after receiving the notification, several individuals reported being locked out of company systems.
Oracle is yet to publish an official statement verifying these layoffs. The company had approximately 162,000 full-time employees globally as of May 2025.
