Oracle laid off more than 3,000 employees, the company did not even promote the employees.

IT giant Oracle reportedly laid off more than 3,000 employees at electronic healthcare records firm Cerner, which it acquired for $28.4 billion. Oracle froze raises and promotions and laid off thousands of employees at the unit as recently as this month after the acquisition closed in June last year, according to an Insider report, citing current and former employees. The acquisition of Kerner added approximately 28,000 employees.

Oracle hasn’t promoted employees and announced earlier this year not to expect any promotions until 2023, according to an insider report that surfaced on Wednesday. The layoffs affected employees across teams, including marketing, engineering, accounting, legal and product, the report said, citing a former employee. Oracle did not comment on the report. The cloud major is developing a national health records database.

According to Oracle President and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison, patient data will remain anonymized unless individuals consent to sharing their information. Oracle is a leading provider of digital information systems used within hospitals and health systems, enabling medical professionals to deliver better healthcare to individual patients and communities. Oracle’s new health records database will also include the patient engagement system the company has been developing during the pandemic.
