Oracle Employees Report Mass Layoffs After Cerner Integration

Oracle has initiated a sweeping round of global layoffs, affecting more than 3,000 employees across multiple regions and business units.

While the company has not issued an official statement, reports from employees and filings with state labor departments confirm the scale and scope of the reductions.

The layoffs, which began in August 2025, span the United States, India, the Philippines, Canada, and parts of Europe.

This marks one of Oracle’s most extensive workforce reductions in recent years and reflects a broader restructuring effort aimed at aligning operations with evolving business priorities, particularly in cloud infrastructure and health technology.

Impact Across Business Units and Geographies

The layoffs extend beyond Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which had already seen job cuts earlier this year.

The latest round includes significant reductions in Oracle Health—formerly Cerner—as well as architecture teams and corporate divisions.

In the United States, filings with Washington State’s Employment Security Department confirmed 101 job losses in Seattle, in addition to 161 layoffs reported in August.

Employees in Kansas, Massachusetts, and Texas also reported terminations, some after decades of service.

In India, the company let go employees from technology and support functions earlier this week.

In the Philippines, entire teams from Oracle Advanced Customer Services (ACS) and the NetSuite Global Business Unit (NSGBU) were reportedly dismissed following “Business Update” meetings.

Cerner Acquisition Under Scrutiny

Oracle acquired Cerner, a health IT firm, in 2022 for $28.3 billion, positioning it as a key growth driver.

However, the latest layoffs suggest a reassessment of that strategy.

Roles within Oracle Health—particularly in Care Delivery and Consulting—have been disproportionately impacted, raising questions about the integration and future direction of the Cerner business unit.

Industry analysts suggest that cost pressures and a shift in focus toward AI and cloud-based services may be driving the restructuring.

Oracle, like many tech giants, is navigating a rapidly changing landscape where automation and platform consolidation are reshaping workforce needs.

Oracle Employee Reactions and Uncertainty

While Oracle has yet to publicly confirm the layoffs, internal communications and employee posts on LinkedIn and anonymous forums have painted a clearer picture.

Some employees reported a sudden drop of over 3,500 members in the company’s general Slack channel, suggesting a broader impact than officially disclosed.

The lack of transparency has fueled anxiety among remaining staff, especially in regions where WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) laws do not mandate public disclosure.

In some cases, the company let go long-serving employees without prior notice, which added to the sense of disruption.
