I think this is two stories being mixed a bit here?

A bit over one month old, the lending issues: https://www.cio.com/article/4125103/oracle-may-slash-up-to-30000-jobs-to-fund-ai-data-center-expansion-as-us-banks-retreat.html

Now, confirmation of the cuts that were suspected since last year from Bloomberg: https://www.reuters.com/business/oracle-plans-thousands-job-cuts-data-center-costs-rise-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-03-05/

I'm not saying there is not a link between the events, but somehow the posted article does a weird rehash mixed with news, and is not even dated, and I don't like that, so I'm sharing the individual news pieces as separate links for other's benefit.
