4月1日消息，全球軟體巨頭甲骨文於當地時間3月31日凌晨向員工群發郵件，啟動大規模裁員，郵件直白地告知員工當日為最後一個工作日。
🚨 Do you understand what Oracle just did.. they fired 30,000 people.. via 6 AM email.. while reporting a 95% increase in net income last quarter.. Oracle isn't a struggling company .. Oracle made MORE money than ever.. and still fired 30,000 people because they're spending $156 billion on AI data centres instead.. and Larry Ellison.. the guy who just fired 30,000 families.. is worth $200 billion.. the 3rd richest person on earth.. he owns an entire Hawaiian island.. Lanai.. 98% of it.. bought it for $300 million like it was a vacation home.. this is the same playbook every single time.. IBM fired 7,800 and replaced them with AI in 2023.. Amazon cut 27,000 the same year while reporting record revenue.. Atlassian cut thousands while profits climbed.. Google laid off 12,000 while sitting on $100 billion in cash.. they told you to learn to code.. you learned to code.. they told you to upskill.. you upskilled.. and then they replaced you with the thing you helped build and sent the termination letter before you woke up.. the company made record profits and decided the reward for that was firing the people who made it happen.
此次裁員波及美國、印度、歐洲等多市場，涵蓋工程、雲服務、技術支持等部門，受影響崗位約3萬，占全球16.2萬員工總數的18%，其中印度市場裁員約1.2萬。
員工及網友質疑公司收入創新高卻大規模裁員，有四年工齡員工表示"對結局失望"。過去12個月，甲骨文此輪裁員為科技行業單次規模最大，此前英特爾、亞馬遜、微軟、Block等企業也陸續裁員。
今年甲骨文股價累計下跌約25%，跌幅在大型科技公司中突出。為推進生成式AI需求下的基礎設施建設，公司加大數據中心投資並依賴債務融資，今年1月宣布計劃通過債務和股權融資籌集約500億美元，高管稱2026年暫無進一步舉債計劃。
分析機構TD Cowen估算，此次裁員2萬至3萬人或釋放80億至100億美元自由現金流。
