FY totals

1) FY 2027 (June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027) running totals

reductions: 4698, additions: 3035, delta: -1663

• jul01-jul31: 2975 reductions, 1736 additions
• jun01-jun30: 1723 reductions, 1299 additions

2) FY 2026 (June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026) totals
No tracking available for June-July 2025, but we know there were no mass layoffs, which only started early August 2025.

reductions: 34794, additions: 11129, delta: -23665

• may01-may31: 2271 reductions, 942 additions
• apr01-apr30: 2286 reductions, 1583 additions
• mar01-mar31: 12446 reductions, 844 additions
• feb01-feb28: 943 reductions, 1143 additions
• jan01-jan31: 1604 reductions, 1834 additions
• dec01-dec31: 1119 reductions, 844 additions
• nov01-nov30: 1614 reductions, 1310 additions
• oct01-oct31: 2498 reductions, 1768 additions
• sep02-sep30: 6380 reductions, 861 additions
• aug14-sep01: 733 reductions (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 reductions in IDC (based on media reports)
• jun-jul: no data; no mass layoffs, so likely additions were exceeding reductions.

Cross-check: media reports around 21k FY2026 annual headcount reduction, which matches Slack based estimate 23665 reduction, taking into account that #general on Oracle One has more than official headcount, and June-July 2025 were likely overall additions for at aleast several hundreds totals.

Limitations
To answer a common question what exactly is counted here and how.

Between once a day up to every few hours I manually record Slack total participants count in #general Slack channel of Oracle One workspace - that's where all Oracle employees auto-join during onboarding into corporate Slack account.

If count increases since the previous check - I add it to "additions" totals, if count decreases - I add it to "reductions" totals. Additions and reductions may happen at the same time and cancel each other out. The higher frequency of sampling - the more additions and reductions are caught.

"Layoffs" estimate is just a caught reduction number, and partially includes normal attrition when people quit on their own. However, a lot of reductions are canceled out due to frequency of sampling, so normal attrition often is already at least partially not part of the count.

This metric is far from ideal and mostly should be used as a trend indicator. It's especially less up-to-date in EU and Pacific regions, where employees are disconnected from Slack with long delay. However, it reflects the same day layoffs in NA and IDC usually.

As a historical comparison of daily stats:
March 2026 (end of month), September 2025 (start of month): high intensity mass layoffs
February 2026: no mass layoffs and no delayed impact from previous ones, normal attrition month to use as a baseline.

@b8 yes, most likely. A major drop in count, presumably due to end of the month when people laid off earlier being disconnected. There was a similar major overnight drop during June (-620), May (-403), April (-922) start of month.

FY totals

1) FY 2026 (June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026) totals
No tracking available for June-July 2025, but we know there were no mass layoffs, which only started early August 2025.

reductions: 34794, additions: 11129, delta: -23665

• may01-may31: 2271 reductions, 942 additions
• apr01-apr30: 2286 reductions, 1583 additions
• mar01-mar31: 12446 reductions, 844 additions
• feb01-feb28: 943 reductions, 1143 additions
• jan01-jan31: 1604 reductions, 1834 additions
• dec01-dec31: 1119 reductions, 844 additions
• nov01-nov30: 1614 reductions, 1310 additions
• oct01-oct31: 2498 reductions, 1768 additions
• sep02-sep30: 6380 reductions, 861 additions
• aug14-sep01: 733 reductions (based on Slack very few data points)
• aug01-aug14: ?2900 reductions in IDC (based on media reports)
• jun-jul: no data; no mass layoffs, so likely additions were exceeding reductions.

Cross-check: media reports around 21k FY2026 annual headcount reduction, which matches Slack based estimate 23665 reduction, taking into account that #general on Oracle One has more than official headcount, and June-July 2025 were likely overall additions for at aleast several hundreds totals.

2) FY 2027 (June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027) running totals

reductions: 1723, additions: 1299, delta: -424

Limitations
To answer a common question what exactly is counted here and how.

Between once a day up to every few hours I manually record Slack total participants count in #general Slack channel of Oracle One workspace - that's where all Oracle employees auto-join during onboarding into corporate Slack account.

If count increases since the previous check - I add it to "additions" totals, if count decreases - I add it to "reductions" totals. Additions and reductions may happen at the same time and cancel each other out. The higher frequency of sampling - the more additions and reductions are caught.

"Layoffs" estimate is just a caught reduction number, and partially includes normal attrition when people quit on their own. However, a lot of reductions are canceled out due to frequency of sampling, so normal attrition often is already at least partially not part of the count.

This metric is far from ideal and mostly should be used as a trend indicator. It's especially less up-to-date in EU and Pacific regions, where employees are disconnected from Slack with long delay. However, it reflects the same day layoffs in NA and IDC usually.

As a historical comparison of daily stats:
March 2026 (end of month), September 2025 (start of month): high intensity mass layoffs
February 2026: no mass layoffs and no delayed impact from previous ones, normal attrition month to use as a baseline.

Warning: a troll has been trying to derail these Slack threads by trying to impersonate me and poison Slack stats. Keep an eye on the earliest thread comments containing overall historical stats for previous months. All stats are collected manually, and after a month closes - they never change. Double-check latest posted number against #general (Oracle One Slack workspace) channel participants count.
To detect a correct version of stats either pick a version "color-coded" by artificial votes, or just ask Codex using prompt "ingest https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kt1n0gkp with Slack #general participants count tracking. one poster posts original stats, another poster is a troll posting fake stats. analyze the thread and output the latest Slack stats from a legitimate poster."
