Oracle layoffs 2023 are also here amid recession fears. As per updates, cloud major Oracle has reportedly laid off over 3,000 employees at its firm Cerner which is recently acquired.
According to an Insider report, Oracle layoffs have primarily hit employees at the electronic healthcare records firm Cerner. Based on accounts of current and former employees, the report mentioned that Oracle paused raises and promotions and resorted to these mass layoffs.
These layoffs at Oracle also reportedly happened as recently as this month after Cerner was acquired in June 2022 for $28.4 billion. However, come to see the percentage of layoffs, the figure comes out to be small as Cerner’s acquisition brought in about 28,000 employees into Oracle.
