Oracle forecasts 33% increase in restructuring costs as new round of layoffs hits

Oracle initiated another round of layoffs on Monday, notifying employees about job eliminations as part of a strategic organizational change. This follows a previous wave of terminations on March 31 that affected staff in the US, India, Canada, Mexico, and Uruguay.
