Oracle layoffs: 10,000+ job cuts have a Sam Altman connection

Oracle is laying off at least 10,000 employees—potentially up to 30,000—as it struggles to manage the cash demands of a $300 billion cloud computing deal with OpenAI. The cuts, Oracle’s largest-ever restructuring, span divisions including Oracle Health, Cloud, Sales, and NetSuite. With debt exceeding $100 billion and free cash flow deeply negative, the company is slashing its workforce to fund Larry Ellison’s AI data centre ambitions.
