https://rollingout.com/2026/03/31/oracle-slashes-30000-jobs-with-a-cold-6/ Teams most affected: 1. RHS (Revenue and Health Sciences) — employees described a reduction in force of at least 30%, with 16 or more engineers from individual business units cut in a single action. 2. SVOS (SaaS and Virtual Operations Services) — similarly reported a 30% or greater reduction, with manager-level roles included in the sweep. 3. NetSuite’s India Development Centre (IDC) — cuts spanned project management, individual contributor, and manager roles across multiple seniority levels. Looking at employees by year: 2010 | (105,000) 2011 | (108,000) 2012 | (115,000) 2013 | (120,000) 2014 | (122,000) 2015 | (132,000) 2016 | (136,000) 2017 | (138,000) 2018 | (137,000) 2019 | (136,000) 2020 | (135,000) 2021 | (132,000) 2022 | (143,000) 2023 | (164,000) 2024 | (159,000) 2025 | (162,000) Doesn’t seem like they had much of a hiring boom during the COVID era, but I guess they need to pay that $58 billion debt somehow…
