Oracle fired 30,000 people before they finished their coffee!

1862. Western Union installs telegraph lines across America and suddenly a boss in New York can fire someone in California without looking them in the eye.

One wire, entire crews gone, no conversation, just click and silence. Workers called it getting telegraphed out.

Tuesday morning Oracle did the same thing but faster.

30,000 employees opened their inbox at 6 AM to find five lines from Oracle Leadership saying your role has been eliminated and today is your last day.

Access revoked before they finished reading, no call from HR, no heads up from their manager, just a DocuSign link and a note that unvested stock was already gone.
