| Well, we'll know to worry/celebrate when they start laying of lawyers. The software side can probably go many years without new features. Nobody picks Oracle in 2026 for the features. |

| > The latest cuts come after Oracle's workforce fell by roughly 21,000 employees, or 13%, during fiscal 2026 13% doesn't seem too different from other tech companies |

| ▲ | nerevarthelame a day ago | parent | next [-] | | The 13% quoted there was from previous layoffs that mostly took place in Q2 of 2026. This is another 20,000 - 30,000 (the exact number isn't public yet) on top of that. | |

| Morale has been low at oracle for years. Now it’s just a “we pay you and push you as hard as we can for it until you quit” shop. |

| Depends on how many employees are on visas that depend on them working for Oracle I guess... |

| Well they do have their own interference capacity. So AIs to solve every single issue. |

| >" Can they keep running with such deep cuts to staff and morale…" ...First time? Oracle is literally the company Dilbert was making fun of |
| |
| ▲ | aaronbrethorst a day ago | parent [-] | | He worked at Pacific Bell between 1986 and June 30, 1995, and the personalities he encountered there inspired many of his Dilbert characters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams | | |
| ▲ | ghaff a day ago | parent [-] | | And probably no small part of the downturn of Dilbert (besides Adams going a bit nuts) is that Adams is no longer in a workplace he can satirize so it remains stuck largely in 90s cubeland. | | |
| ▲ | georgemcbay a day ago | parent | next [-] | | > Adams is no longer in a workplace he can satirize He's also not in a place where he can draw cartoons, what with being dead and all. | | |
| ▲ | ghaff a day ago | parent [-] | | Yes, I was speaking of latterly and I could have been clearer with tenses. |
