Oracle conducts new round of layoffs across multiple divisions

Oracle is implementing another wave of workforce reductions, impacting various departments including engineering, customer success, and product divisions such as NetSuite, Cerner, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, according to a report by CRN.

These layoffs follow Oracle's recent quarterly earnings report, where the company highlighted accelerated delivery of AI capacity and expanded cloud services. The cuts span numerous roles, including those interacting with Oracle's partner program and channel efforts, as well as software engineers, site reliability engineers, and cloud security analysts. Customer success executives and managers, some with decades of tenure, were also affected. Employees within acquired businesses like Cerner and NetSuite have also been impacted.

This reduction in workforce comes as Oracle's overall employee count has decreased by approximately 13% from May 2025 to May 2026. Industry observers suggest these layoffs could lead to increased work flowing through the channel partners, as they help customers navigate AI integration and data management.
