Leaked document shows which Oracle cloud roles were cut (opens the source in a new tab)

  • Business Insider obtained a document listing the job titles and ages of 546 employees laid off from Oracle's America Cloud Infrastructure organisation.
  • Software developer III was the hardest-hit title, followed by program manager IV and principal core infrastructure engineer; developers made up around 17% of cuts.
  • 41 roles came from data center support services, including that division's vice president; Oracle said the document was provided to comply with federal age discrimination laws.

2026 Restructuring Plan after a ~$700M top-up (Final Round AI)

Why it matters The cuts land in the unit whose quarterly revenue Oracle reported up 121% year over year, as the company expects to spend $90–$95 billion this year on new data centers (Business Insider). Final Round AI reports that Oracle's September 11 SEC filing raised its restructuring plan by about $700 million to roughly $2.8 billion, primarily employee severance, and names adoption of AI technologies among the plan's aims. Both sources say Oracle's workforce fell by 21,000, or 13%, in fiscal 2026, to about 141,000.

Watch next Oracle has not said how many people it laid off in total, and Business Insider could not determine whether the document lists everyone. Final Round AI reports WARN filings covering 359 Washington and 441 California roles, effective November 13, 2026, and cites a TD Cowen estimate of a further 20,000–30,000 cuts that Oracle has not confirmed.
