Oracle's head count has been shrinking as it made layoffs to cut costs — and now there's a number behind its reduction. A filing published Monday showed that its global workforce declined by 21,000 between May 2025 and May 2026. The number includes both attrition and layoffs. Oracle employed around 141,000 employees worldwide as of May 31, 2026, the filing said. Compared with the numbers reported in its 2025 filing, the company shed 9,000 jobs in the US and 12,000 jobs internationally.
