https://www.businessinsider.com/read-oracle-layoff-email-employees-job-cuts-2026-3

Oracle started laying off staff on Tuesday as the company seeks to cut costs.

Employees started receiving notifications early Tuesday. The cuts appear to have affected employees globally, but the full extent of the layoffs could not be immediately learned.

"After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change," copies of the notification email viewed by Business Insider stated. "As a result, today is your last working day."

An Oracle spokesperson declined to comment on the layoffs.

The cuts are the latest example of Big Tech companies reducing head count. In January, Amazon said it would slash about 16,000 corporate roles, months after cutting 14,000 employees. Last week, Meta began laying off hundreds of employees, following several years of cuts that resulted in thousands of roles being axed.

They setup a PIN on it just now.
I had thought I can still use my outlook email till 4/10.

I sent some farewell messages to several colleagues earlier, but haven't received any reply yet. Not sure if they haven't received it, or they're also laid off, or they just don't want to talk to me anymore, LOL

Didn't get the termination email but management has been quiet. No communication, no meetings scheduled. Confusion everywhere.

My termination date is 5 days before my vesting date. I want to request that my termination date be extended to cover the vesting date. Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Mass email just hit my inbox:

I read on another thread that individuals have up to 30 days to update their RTO days if someone mistakenly missed putting in a WFA/PTO/Sick day. Is that written anywhere? Is this new?

I was let go in 2025 and one of the reasons was that I did this, even if it was inadvertently.

I’m just curious if this is in writing anywhere and when in was put in place. If someone could send me the policy if it is indeed included, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Selective long term low performers are being terminated.

George Brown Polytechnic initiated a large-scale termination. This affects 51 employees, including both hourly and salaried staff. The college cites shifting government policies and budget pressures. Full-time enrollment dropped 29 percent from winter 2025 levels. The institution anticipates additional workforce reductions.

FIS Managers are going to provide severance to their buddies, Then those buddies will be hired directly as consultants with FIS.

If you are not in good books with your managers, they are going to transfer you to third rated staffing company COGNIZANT. After a while, FIS will ask cognizant to replace you with low cost H1B visa holder.

The current cycle was conducted more like a firing than a layoff. Staff were told early in the morning that the layoff was effective immediately. System access terminated within minutes and staff were walked out by a manager. Remote staff were notified by Zoom.

A class action lawsuit was filed against KBR Inc. and HomeSafe Alliance LLC. The suit alleges they failed to provide proper notice for employee terminations. Approximately 200 employees were laid off. This followed the U.S. government scrapping a moving services contract. The contract, worth up to $20 billion, was canceled due to performance issues.

How soon can I come back as either an external contractor or a FTE?

Getting sent to this company is the same as being terminated.

Won’t install till after 3 pm 3-26-24. Would this be the cutoff button for when they terminate me?

Are you all ready for April 1st? Transformation is finally coming to Ops

Sudden layoff. No notice . Said organizational changes

Tomorrow might be wide open for me..

That is almost the whole career life.
Now terminated for cause by Indian manager.

Same old story,a couple of inconsistently meets.

speechless

All staff at Princeton's Keller Center face layoffs. Nine employees are impacted by this change. University-wide budget constraints prompted the decision. This marks an unprecedented academic unit staff termination. Laid-off staff may apply for four new roles.

For those who have left or have received termination letter, what are the severance amounts vs estimate? Please state YEE and % difference between estimate and actual.

Got terminated last week after several years here. I'm curious - does anybody know if Wells Fargo reveals eligibility for rehire or terminated with cause?

Got terminated last week after several years of experience starting out as a GSR8 and being a LL6 about 3 years ago. I'm curious - does anybody know if Ford reveals eligibility for rehire or terminated with casuse?

So, if a BOA meets the Rule of 70, but has just been terminated (to make way for a younger person), can they still keep their LLP?

I've heard several stories about AVP/VP level terminating L2s for petty items. Are they getting a bonus for doing so? (Cohen org, for reference)

For those who received a rating of 2 like I did at Aetna, are we still eligible to apply for internal positions? Also, how should we continue interacting with our manager after receiving this rating?

Should we be concerned about being terminated or placed on a layoff list first, or are employees with higher salaries typically more likely to be targeted during team reductions?

Central Alabama Water laid off 135 employees. Former employees and activists allege racial bias. State Representative Givan claimed employees were fired due to race. A former supervisor reported Black staff received manual labor duties. The company stated layoff demographics mirrored its employee base.

I worked for Anthem, Inc. (now Elevance Health) for about 10 years. In 2020 during the pandemic, I accepted another remote job with about a 30% pay increase and put in my two weeks.

While transitioning my work, I attempted to upload some personal files (tax docs and school work) from my company laptop to Dropbox after being told I could remove personal data from the device before leaving. The system flagged it as a potential PHI upload, even though no PHI was transferred.

I met with IT Security, explained everything, and signed a disclosure stating no PHI was uploaded and that it would be treated as a first-offense warning.

The next day I was unexpectedly called into HR and terminated on the spot and told I’d be placed on a “do not rehire” list. It felt like a complete bait-and-switch after being told it would only be a warning.

I started my new job shortly after and have now been there almost 6 years, gaining more experience and completing security and PHI compliance certifications.

Now that I’m applying again (including to companies like Cigna, Optum, and Molina Healthcare), I’m wondering:
• Are “do not rehire” lists internal, or can other companies somehow see them?
• Do background checks reveal that type of HR status?
• After ~7 years, would it be worth contacting Elevance Health to ask if my rehire eligibility could be reconsidered?

Would especially appreciate insight from anyone in HR or healthcare compliance who has seen how this works behind the scenes.

So there is a lawsuit over BYOD+ which is probably going to be class action. Basically illegal bait and switching. So if you’re a rep doing this instead of upgrading their phone traditionally you are illegally bait and switching. 0 usage reports are being reviewed at 30/60/90 days. Already heard about terminations of both reps and their managers. So if you want to protect your job make sure you are presenting a quote for standard upgrade as well and explaining the price difference. There’s a reason they stripper it down to just the google pixel abruptly. So tread lightly with Samsung being back part of it

Are you a store manager on an action plan? I would start looking for a new job. Action plans are one step away from termination.

For H1-B candidates who got cut on Feb 4th, they sent out H1-B letters with wrong exit date. They corrected it after 2 weeks and resent the letters. I heard this error was sent to many. So much negligence.

If you are a manager and have been convicted of any crime while employed at Wells. You will be terminated.

Has anyone from the mid January layoff communication received either Severance payment or Special Payment?

Guessing all of this, as well as PTO payout will all come after term date, but just checking because of the language in the agreement:

" ....will be made as soon as administratively practical following the
execution of this agreement by you, but not later than March 15 of the calendar year
following the execution of this Agreement"

I think most floors (business units) have heard whispers about relocating away from downtown Boston as a cost savings measure. One Director on my floor had their employment very swiftly terminated this week as they apparently shared what they knew on a Teams chat (supposedly involved that team going to Lake Mary in 9-12 months). Directors and above are under very strict instructions from senior management to keep plans top secret. If asked directly they are told to deflect and use phrases like “no immediate plans”.

Even talking about this stuff out in the open is now seemingly grounds for termination. Definitely do not put anything on e-mail or Teams. Stay safe out there.
