Job Cuts Continue as Oracle Announces Another Major Workforce Reduction

Oracle has disclosed that it laid off approximately 21,000 employees over the past 12 months, according to a regulatory filing. The technology giant stated that the growing integration of artificial intelligence into its operations, along with changing business requirements, contributed to the workforce reduction. The company also indicated that additional job cuts could take place in the future.

Following the layoffs, Oracle's global workforce has declined to around 141,000 employees, including 49,000 in the United States and 92,000 across international locations. As the company continues to invest heavily in cloud services and data center infrastructure, it is focusing on cost optimization and operational restructuring. The move reflects a broader trend among major technology firms embracing AI-driven transformation.
