Just days after Oracle terminated 16,000 corporate employees via a 6:00 am email, the software giant is facing intense online backlash over its hiring practices. A New York Post report, citing US Citizenship and Immigration Services data, said that the company filed approximately 3,126 H-1B visa petitions for foreign workers during fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
According to the US Department of Labor, “The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability.”
The Post reported that 436 petitions were filed this year alone, among roughly 3,126 submitted in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
Social media is outraged, with users expressing their discontent over the company's hiring practices.
