Oracle layoffs: 6am emails may hit Sept 1

Oracle employees may brace themselves for another round of layoffs on September 1, according to reports. The company is reportedly seeking to cut payroll before the start of its second fiscal quarter. Managers have reportedly been asked to submit lists of employees who could be affected by the cuts, which could reach double-digit percentages in some teams.

The timing of the potential layoff emails is significant, as Oracle's previous round of cuts in March saw over 10,000 employees receive termination notices around 6 am local time. This date could bring back uncomfortable memories for those affected by the earlier layoffs, as they would receive an email from "Oracle Leadership" stating that their role had been eliminated, with system access cut off at the same time.
