Why is Oracle cutting jobs?

 While Oracle has not yet released any official statement about the layoffs but the report suggests that more than 3,000 employees have been fired across the globe. The latest cuts is projected for a broader restructuring effort amid shifting corporate priorities and cost pressures. “We continuously assess our structure and rebalance as needed to best serve our customers and fuel growth areas,” a Salesforce spokesperson said in a statement. Oracle is set to report earnings on September 9, after posting fiscal Q4 revenue of $15.9 billion, up 11% year-over-year, with a net income of $3.4 billion.
