Oracle is reportedly weighing another round of job cuts that could affect as many as 10,000 employees worldwide. People familiar with the matter say managers have been asked to find ways to lower team spending, which may lead to losses across multiple departments. Internal estimates put the possible global range between 7,000 and 10,000 roles. These figures remain unconfirmed by the company. India could see a notable impact because the country hosts large teams in engineering, cloud, technology and support. Employees have discussed September 1 or September 15 as possible start dates for announcements. Oracle already reduced its workforce by about 21,000 in the prior year, dropping from roughly 162,000 to 141,000 full-time staff by the end of May 2026. The company has linked earlier reductions partly to AI deployment while continuing heavy investment in cloud and data-centre capacity. No official confirmation of the new cuts has been issued.
