A Reddit post about an Oracle employee battling cancer being laid off via email after 20 years has triggered outrage online. The man, just two years from retirement, reportedly received no call from his manager. Users also raised concern over his loss of health insurance, as Oracle cuts jobs amid its shift to cloud and AI.

In a post that has struck a raw nerve across social media, a Reddit user has shared the gut-wrenching story of their father, a 20-year Oracle employee battling cancer, being laid off via email, just two years short of retirement, and without a phone call from the boss he had worked under for two decades.

Oracle mass layoffs: Laid off with an email, no call, no courtesy

The Reddit user, posting on behalf of their father, described a dismissal that many online commenters called heartless. After two decades of service to one of the world's largest enterprise technology companies, the father received no personal outreach, not from HR, not from his long-time manager, not from anyone who had worked alongside him for twenty years. Just an email.

"My dad has worked for Oracle for 20 years, worked for the same boss for 20 years. Not even a phone call. These companies are evil," the post read.
