    >According to the annual report of the computing giant published this week, the company had 141,000 employees as of May 31, 2026. This is a significant downsizing compared to the corresponding period last year, when the number of employees at Oracle stood at approximately 162,000 people. The report further reveals that the company paid a massive fortune of $1.84 billion for severance pay and other retirement expenses accompanying the restructuring moves in the current fiscal year.

Workforce remains huge at 141k so perhaps a non story and just normal big company rounds of redundancies that were the case pre-ai

20k layoffs is still humongous, something that easily shows up on a monthly labor report.

Put another way, this is 13% of their workforce. It may be trying to be normalized, but it is in fact not normal to remove over an 8th of your business at once.

Didn't know they had 20k developers. I thought Oracle is just lawyers. Or did they replace lawyers with AI?
