Every day we see layoffs at major American companies. Then we see these same companies hiring people on H-1B visas. There should not be one H-1B visa issued to any company that lays off Americans. Not. One.

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion.

On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM.

Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated."

The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership.

It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made."

By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received.

We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries.

In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not.

An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions.

The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport.

The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew.

That is retention.

Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%.

These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off.

We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day.

Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House.

The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin.

Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model.

Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot.

One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop.

The role is still open.

The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

@WallStreetApes The average net pay in the United States is $4865. Rent should be 30% if your income. $1350 is approx 30%. Average rent in the United States is $1750. See the problem?

This is illegal

Companies cannot hire H-1Bs, etc when there are Americans who can do the job. Tend if thousands of Americans being laid off means there are Americans who can do the job. Hiring foreigners is this illegal

The (largely Indian) management team must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and the full fines available (over $300k per individual) for H-1B fraud levied on the company

🦔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.

Any company that has layoffs should be banned from requesting new foreign visa workers of any kind for at least 5 years. They shouldn’t be able to renew or convert to green card either

The DOJ is now 105 days overdue to release the Epstein files.

[Congresswoman Maxine Dexter @RepDexterOR]

Pam Bondi is gone, and there is still significant work to do. We must roll up our sleeves and keep calling, demanding, and working for the transparency and accountability the Epstein survivors so rightfully deserve. They have waited far too long.

Release the Epstein files!
