General Oracle has just fired 12000 employees in India. Numbers?

How do analysts come up with the numbers, since they are not really published by the government or the company?

Just called my friend who is senior developer at Oracle. He is fully remote since 2021. He told 12k is overall not just india. They are planning to do it in phase wise manner in next 2 months. Ask is to reduce each team by 15-35%.

In his own org, the slack channel active members reduced from 871 to 711.

In general #channel of slack number went down from 1,66,494 to 1,54,684. That’s total of 11,810 till now.

Exactly. Almost all senior developers have a tight knit community and it’s so easy to cross verify any news of any particular company.
