The title is extremely deceitful. They filed H1Bs for 2025 and 2026, but not after or during the layoffs from last week.

That’s like saying “Oracle hires tens of thousands and mass layoffs” (* hired during the pandemic)

These kinds of layoffs don't just happen on a whim, certainly aren't supposed to. Oracle's business conditions really didn't change that much over the past year.

It's perfectly reasonable to retroactively question a company's choice to hire immigrant workers relatively shortly before layoffs.
