Thousands of Oracle employees opened their emails and learned they no longer had jobs. Senior engineers. Architects. Operations leaders. Program managers. Technical specialists. Gone, with one month of severance and no advance warning. Oracle declined to comment.

The company that just eliminated 10,000 positions is the same company spending $50 billion on AI infrastructure this year. It raised another $50 billion in debt to meet demand for even more. It is a founding member of Stargate, the $500 billion AI data center initiative backed by President Trump, alongside OpenAI and SoftBank. Oracle's own executives have said publicly that AI enables fewer employees to do more work. The math is not complicated.

This is not an Oracle problem. It is an industry-wide pattern. Meta, Block, Amazon, Pinterest, and Epic Games have all cut jobs this year. Tech leaders are increasingly pointing to AI as justification for workforce reductions while simultaneously pouring hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure. Workers are being told their jobs are gone not because of anything they did, but because of investments their employers are making in technology that will replace them.

The American workforce deserves better than an early morning email and thirty days of pay.

Congress has not yet grappled seriously with the scale of what is happening. AI-driven job displacement is accelerating. The companies driving that displacement are receiving federal backing, tax benefits, and political support through initiatives like Stargate. There is no requirement that they disclose when AI is driving their workforce decisions. There is no minimum severance standard tied to years of service. There is no national strategy for the workers being left behind.

Taxpayers and workers should not be asked to subsidize a $500 billion AI buildout while the companies leading it quietly eliminate tens of thousands of jobs with no accountability and no obligation to provide meaningful transition support. If Stargate and its partners are going to reshape the American economy, Congress must ensure that workers are not simply collateral damage in that process.

Sign this petition to call on Congress to strengthen advance notice requirements for mass tech layoffs, establish minimum severance standards for AI-driven workforce reductions, and require companies receiving federal AI investment backing to disclose the workforce impact of their technology adoption.
