Company Silent as Fires Burn: Mass Layoffs at Oracle Reveal Betrayal from the Top In recent weeks, Oracle—the once-dominant tech giant—has become the epicenter of employee outrage following a sweeping series of mass layoffs that have sent shockwaves through its workforce and industry observers alike. While the company maintains silence, internal sources describe a deep sense of betrayal as thousands of skilled professionals grapple with sudden job cuts, often after years of service and under growing uncertainty. ### The Sudden Crack in Silicon Valley’s Fortress Once celebrated for its robust enterprise software and cloud innovation, Oracle has turned the spotlight onto itself as hundreds of employees across departments—including engineering, sales, and IT—have received layoff notices in October and November 2023. Internal emails and anonymous tip sheets paint a damning picture: top leadership remains tight-lipped while operational decisions cascade down without transparency.
