Oracle starts layoffs with severance capped at 26 weeks under standard plan

  • Oracle began a new round of layoffs and offered affected employees a severance package.
  • Four weeks of base salary plus one week per service year was offered, capped at 26 weeks.
  • Salesforce and Microsoft offered maximum severance packages of 30 and 39 weeks, respectively.

Oracle has begun a new round of layoffs while offering affected employees four weeks of severance plus one additional week for each year of service, documents reviewed by Business Insider show. The latest documents did not specify a maximum, but Oracle’s standard pay plan previously reported by Business Insider capped the combined payment at 26 weeks of base salary. The layoffs follow reports that Oracle had prepared payroll reductions as it accumulates billions of dollars in debt to finance AI infrastructure. Oracle did not respond to a request for comment. Its package appears less generous than policies cited for Salesforce and Microsoft, which offered maximums of 30 weeks and 39 weeks of base pay, respectively, in the referenced plans.
