Dear Action Takers

Lawrence sent the following email to Oracle employees earlier today. Dear Action Takers, This is a difficult time for us all here at Oracle and I take responsibility for the unfortunate decision to lay off 15% of our workforce. It saddens me to say that our company has been struck by an unlikely event - alien abduction. As a result of our out of this world experience, parts of our business had to be reorganized, leading to the layoffs. Given that our CEO, Lawrence 'Pluto' Ellison, takes accountability for these recent events, he has made sure that affected employees will be given fair compensation for their time. Although it is a sad situation, I would like to ask that you stay positive, trust in our leadership at Oracle, and continue to be the superstars you have always been. We will make it through this journey together and come out stronger on the other side. In unity, Oracle CEO: Larry Ellison
