  • Oracle is reportedly planning thousands of layoffs as the company faces financial pressure from a large AI data center expansion, according to a Bloomberg report cited by Reuters.
  • The expansion is tied to Oracle’s push to compete in cloud computing and support major AI customers, including OpenAI, xAI, and Meta.
  • Oracle recently increased its expected capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 by $15 billion, on top of an earlier $35 billion estimate, raising investor concerns about funding and rising debt.
  • The layoffs could begin as early as this month and may affect multiple divisions, including roles likely to shrink due to AI automation.
  • The company is also reportedly reviewing or freezing some open positions in its cloud division.
  • Oracle had about 162,000 employees as of May 2025.
  • The company plans to raise $45-50 billion this year to expand cloud infrastructure, after reporting about $10 billion in cash burn in the first half of its fiscal year.
  • Oracle declined to comment on the report and will release third-quarter results next week.

@OP please keep a watch on how many H1B petitions this company will file right after the layoffs.

But, surely, the billions that are owed to ORCL for the new data centers will help!

Bloomberg is a reputable outfit so there is likely a lot of truth to this. A lot of people are going to get sacked according to the article.
