Overview

  • A state employment filing confirms Oracle cut 161 roles in its Seattle cloud hub this week.
  • DatacenterDynamics reports the layoffs hit OCI operations, including data-center technicians and technical project managers in the U.S., Canada and India.
  • People familiar with the matter say some cuts were based on performance and the unit continues to fill priority cloud roles.
  • The actions aim to help fund Oracle’s 4.5 GW OpenAI Stargate deal and manage tens of billions in data-center capital obligations.
  • The cuts mirror moves by Microsoft, Amazon and Meta to reallocate staff toward expensive AI infrastructure buildouts.
