Oracle suddenly fires 30,000 employees without warning

Oracle – (Web Desk) – Oracle Corporation announced a large round of job cuts on Tuesday, March 31. The layoffs are expected to impact around 20,000 to 30,000 employees, nearly 18% of its global workforce of 162,000 people.

What surprised many was the sudden timing. Around 6:00 a.m. EST, workers received a short, standard email titled “Oracle Leadership.” Employees across the US, India, and other regions got the same message at almost the same time.

The email informed them that their roles were ending immediately due to company restructuring, and that the same day would be their final working day. It also mentioned that details about severance packages would be shared later through DocuSign.

For many affected employees, access to internal systems was denied immediately.

The most affected teams were Revenue and Health Sciences, and SaaS and Virtual Operations, in Oracle’s cloud computing business, which reportedly lost at least 30% of the workforce.

The massive layoffs are related to Oracle’s ambitious and debt-fueled push into artificial intelligence infrastructure development.

Oracle has taken on $58 billion in new debt in two months as it rushes to build artificial intelligence data centers.

The company’s shares have fallen by 30% since September 2025, and some banks are reportedly no longer lending to Oracle on its projects.

The news came amid Oracle reporting a 95% jump in net income, surpassing $6.13 billion last quarter.
