I love the smell of [layoff emails] in the morning.

Makes me wonder why they're shedding so much and if Zitron was a little right after all.

Yeah what’s the end game here? Can they keep running with such deep cuts to staff and morale…

...First time?

Oracle is literally the company Dilbert was making fun of

> 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

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.

>The company has not disclosed how many workers were affected by the latest cuts

One of the first things that "progressive" politicians should do if they take power is require large companies to disclose the exact number of firings before people are notified.

This is how it works in Sweden: https://www.unionen.se/in-english/notice-to-termination

"Even if an employer does not have a collective agreement, they must negotiate major changes to working and employment conditions of employees who are members of a trade union as if the employer had a collective agreement."

Negotiations include getting the lists of positions that will be terminated, number of employees affected, new positions that may be opened during a reorganization, etc.

Unless you're C level, in which case you get promoted to "Vice President in Charge of Looking for a New Job" for a quarter.
