State Filings Show Oracle Cutting About 700 California Jobs

The cuts reflect Oracle’s move to smaller product teams to fund AI and cloud data centers.

Overview

  • Public WARN notices list 310 cuts in Redwood City, 184 in Santa Clara, 158 in Pleasanton and 50 in Santa Monica, with affected workers set to separate by June 1.
  • The Redwood City roster leans heavily toward software developers and development managers, according to the filing.
  • Employees reported 6 a.m. emails stating their role was eliminated that day and noting eligibility for severance under the plan.
  • In its March earnings report, Oracle said AI code generation lets it build more software with fewer people, which it said is driving team restructuring.
  • Analysts at TD Cowen have warned overall reductions could reach tens of thousands as Oracle prioritizes AI data centers, and filings show more than 1,100 California jobs cut since October.
