Oracle is starting another round of layoffs, with employees in the United States reporting that they receive an early-morning message—described as arriving around 6 a.m.—from Oracle leadership. Multiple reports say access changes occur soon after the email, including disabled logins and reduced workplace communications through tools such as Slack.
The new cuts are described as affecting employees tied to several Oracle businesses and operations, including cloud and software units (such as OCI and Fusion), NetSuite, Oracle Health, and at least one named site in Abilene. Times of India reports the layoffs resume on September 14 and cites internal access impacts, including a drop in Slack activity. The New York Post adds that Oracle tells affected workers to sign termination paperwork immediately to preserve access to severance.
Across the outlets, the main difference is emphasis: one focuses on the timing and operational disruption after the email, while another highlights the administrative step for severance. India Today similarly centers on employees receiving the 6 a.m. notice as the layoffs begin. Times of India also notes that additional job cuts may extend to India’s development center, as Oracle’s broader restructuring costs are reported to have risen to about $2.8 billion.
