Employees trained AI — and lost their jobs: mass layoffs at Oracle

One of the IT giants, Oracle, laid off about 30,000 employees, betting on automation and AI. The layoffs were harsh: many simply received an email notification.

Before this, employees were asked to describe their work processes — essentially to train AI to perform their tasks 👨‍💻

The situation was exacerbated by the consequences: some lost large bonuses and shares, and employees with work visas were faced with a choice — urgently find a new job or leave the country. This is no longer just optimization, but a signal of how quickly companies are willing to replace people with algorithms.
