can someone confirm if this news is true?
@kw Well, except that Oracle's fiscal year starts in June. That said, it's often best for employees to get axed before they've gone out and purchased Christmas gifts, etc. Severance payout timing has advantages and disadvantages both ways if it's paid before or after the end of the year.
Storm's coming!
@fq What is bizarre about end of the year layoffs? Most companies have their fiscal and calendar years aligned. Dumping employees at the end of the year allows them to start the new fiscal year without them on the books.
Oracle su-ks
EVERY tech company is winding up this month for bizarrely coordinated layoffs. In waves. 20% in many.
Best thing is a Oracle RIFF. CA EDD $450 weekly and six months Sev. No more stress and new job already with huge increase.
These are for the September layoffs, not new ones.

OP, you can verify this yourself. WARN notices are publicly posted online. I found 2 records in California with an effective date of 11/13/26. A total of 378 people impacted. The notice was posted on 9/14/26 so 60 days in advance.
