Oracle’s mass layoffs came amid its push for AI infrastructure. (REUTERS) The company's termination email to its affected employees stated that their positions had been eliminated and that it was their last working day.

According to documents viewed by Business Insider, the laid-off employees in the USA will receive four weeks' base salary, plus one week of severance for each additional year of employment. However, that number goes up to 26 weeks. Oracle has followed other major tech firms in issuing severance after layoffs, but its packages are being described as modest compared to the more substantial amounts paid out by Block (in 2026) or Meta (in 2025). The severance package offered by Block, Jack Dorsey’s company that laid off nearly half of its employees, provided 20 weeks of salary, plus one additional week per year of tenure. The affected employees were informed that they would get a $5,000 stipend, their work device, and six months of healthcare. Business Insider reported that people familiar with the matter said that, after layoffs in 2025, Meta offered 16 weeks of pay and an additional 2 weeks of severance for every year of service. In addition, Mark Zuckerberg’s company also gave six months of health insurance coverage.What did Oracle email to its affected employees?
