Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) just disclosed in its latest annual report that it cut about 21,000 jobs over the past fiscal year, shrinking its workforce roughly 13% to about 141,000 full-time employees as of May 31, 2026, from about 162,000 a year earlier. The restructuring and other related expenses totaled about $1.8 billion, and Oracle pointed to its growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the reasons.
