Hey everyone, just saw the news about Oracle's latest round of layoffs on August 12th, referencing Firstpost. The article mentions a specific number of employees impacted, but I'm having trouble verifying the exact figure across different sources. Some reports from earlier in the year talked about massive numbers like 20,000-30,000, and even a 21,000 figure. This latest one seems smaller, but it's hard to tell what the cumulative impact is. Does anyone have more concrete info on the August 12th cuts or a running total? It feels like the company is constantly restructuring, and it's getting hard to keep track. Wondering if this is another wave targeting specific divisions or a broader workforce reduction. The talk about AI investments and restructuring has been constant, so I'm curious how this fits into the bigger picture. Any intel on which departments or regions are hit hardest this time around would be appreciated.

I've been keeping an eye on this too. The official numbers are always so opaque with these big tech companies. The 20k-30k range sounds more like strategic restructuring or planned attrition over a longer period, not necessarily a single layoff event. The August 12th figure being smaller might just be a targeted reduction in specific departments. It's tough to get a clear, consolidated picture without internal leaks, which are rare and often unverified. Best to assume official statements are downplaying the actual situation.
