Oracle reduced its workforce by about 21,000 employees over the past year, a nearly 13% drop, due to the adoption of AI technologies across its operations. The company incurred $1.8 billion in restructuring costs, up from $374 million the previous year, reflecting severance and exit expenses. Oracle warned that these cuts could disrupt productivity and morale, while it continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, raising $50 billion through debt and equity. Shares fell nearly 3% on the news and are down about 13% this year.
