"Oracle workers based in Massachusetts, Texas and Kansas were among those who said their positions were eliminated as part of a workforce reduction. On anonymous message boards, some Oracle employees reported seeing the company's general Slack channel drop by around 3,500 members in the last 24 hours, but no official numbers have yet confirmed the scope of the latest layoffs."
"Some states make layoff data public through a kind of law known as a mini-WARN Act, which stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification. The laws are designed to provide workers with advance notice of mass layoffs and often collect that information into state databases. California also operates a WARN database, but it did not include new Oracle layoffs at the time of writing. Fast Company reached out to Oracle to confirm the layoffs, but has not received a response from the company."
Oracle is reducing its Seattle-area workforce by 101 employees, with a Washington-state filing dated September 2 and separations effective by November 3. Employees in Massachusetts, Texas and Kansas also reported eliminations, and some affected workers had up to 20 years of tenure. Anonymous message-board reports indicated the company's general Slack channel lost roughly 3,500 members in 24 hours, though no official company totals were released. State mini-WARN databases provide layoff notices; California's WARN database did not yet list new Oracle cuts. Oracle previously planned mid-August reductions, including 289 Bay Area and 161 Seattle positions, and the company has not publicly responded.
