🦔While Oracle was sending 6am termination emails to between 20,000 and 30,000 employees this week, the company had filed roughly 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, including 436 filed this year alone. H-1B petitions are required when companies seek to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations like technology. Amazon, which has cut 30,000 corporate employees since October, filed 2,675 H-1B petitions over the same period. My Take The official justification for H-1B filings is that companies need specialized skills unavailable domestically. The honest explanation in most cases is cheaper labor. H-1B workers are often paid less than their American counterparts for equivalent roles and are tied to their employer through visa sponsorship, which limits their ability to negotiate or leave. Oracle didn't lay off 18% of its workforce because those people lacked skills. It laid them off to free up $8-10 billion in cash flow to service AI infrastructure debt. Filing hundreds of foreign worker petitions in the same period is a cost structure decision, and the people who got that 6am email and then saw these filings have every right to be angry about it.

Jason Everman. Guitarist in Nirvana, bassist in Soundgarden. Kicked out of both. Most people would have called that rock bottom. Jason called it a starting point. In 1994 he put down the guitar and enlisted in the Army, eventually serving with the 2nd Ranger Battalion and then completing the Special Forces Qualification Course, deploying to both Afghanistan and Iraq as a Green Beret with 3rd Special Forces Group. After leaving the service he went to Tibet, studied in a Buddhist monastery, came back, and then earned a philosophy degree from Columbia University with a letter of recommendation from General Stanley McChrystal. Nirvana. Soundgarden. Army Rangers. Green Berets. Columbia University. There is no template for a life like that. Jason Everman just lived it.

Oracle is such a terrible, evil, slime company it borders some sort of twisted black comedy skit. During the beginning of the Trump administration Larry Ellison discussed building some sort of super-AI system and said it would create as much as 100,000 jobs in the United States Fast forward, March 2026, Oracle lays off 30,000 people. 30,000 people is an absolutely insane number. Oracle sent out at email at 6am to 30,000 people which were selected using some sort "selective process", which was a computer program, or something, I don't know. You go online and see people who have worked at Oracle for over 30 years being terminated. People who have had great reviews, sacrificed for the company, ... someone there was terminated and began working at Oracle in 1993. 1993 - 2026 and then terminated by a decision from a computer program while the United States economy is already sliding into the pisser, with inflation, housing crisis, government assistance cuts, gas prices raising, and companies creating hiring freezes Then today it's announced Oracle has put in H1B requests for approx. 3,000 employees from overseas What a fucking piece of shit fucking company.
