Employees started receiving notifications early Tuesday. The cuts appear to have affected employees globally, but the full extent of the layoffs could not be immediately learned.
"After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change," copies of the notification email viewed by Business Insider stated. "As a result, today is your last working day."
An Oracle spokesperson declined to comment on the layoffs.
The cuts are the latest example of Big Tech companies reducing head count. In January, Amazon said it would slash about 16,000 corporate roles, months after cutting 14,000 employees. Last week, Meta began laying off hundreds of employees, following several years of cuts that resulted in thousands of roles being axed.
