Workers in a single layoff at Oracle
933 / day
Laid off across 217 tech companies in 2026
(TrueUp)
The Situation
Last week, 20,000 - 30,000 workers globally were laid off at Oracle with a single email. Many were in senior level roles, giving ten or more years of their lives to serve the company. During a time of confusion and uncertainty, over 2500 people came together on Slack to share resources and mutual support. If you're currently laid-off or anxious about future layoffs, you don't have to face it alone.
