Oracle recently laid off about 700 employees, sparking accusations that the company targeted workers with outstanding stock options. A former 30-year employee suggested layoffs might follow an algorithm affecting mid-level managers and high-level contributors, though this is unconfirmed. Laid-off workers lost unvested stock but kept vested shares. Meanwhile, Oracle hired Hilary Maxson as CFO with a $26 million stock package, drawing criticism amid the cuts.
