Oracle Plans Major Job Cuts Amid AI Data Center Expansion
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Oracle Corp. is set to announce layoffs of thousands of employees this month, primarily in response to financial pressures from its significant investment in artificial intelligence data center expansion. These job reductions are expected to surpass Oracle's usual cuts and will impact multiple divisions.
As of May 2025, Oracle employed around 162,000 people. Analysts forecast that Oracle's cash flow will remain negative for years due to these AI investments, with benefits anticipated to materialize by 2030. The company plans to disclose its third fiscal quarter results shortly, amid ongoing workforce reductions seen across the tech industry.
