Indian Wife Slammed Oracle Bosses For Firing Husband After 12 Years Without Notice, 'Lost His Job..'
His wife said he discovered the layoff after losing access to work systems and is now seeking a new role on LinkedIn.
- On September 14, Oracle initiated global job cuts as part of a restructuring, where Senior Principal Software Developer Sourabh S. discovered he was laid off after 12 years when he could no longer log into his work system.
- Oracle increased its restructuring program cost by $700 million to $2.8 billion to cover severance and contract terminations, as the company shifts spending toward AI and cloud infrastructure following fiscal 2026 workforce reductions of about 21,000 employees.
- Pooja Sahu, Sourabh's wife, shared on LinkedIn that her husband maintained work commitments through holidays and personal emergencies, including while she underwent surgery, detailing his 12-year dedication to the firm that remained largely invisible to colleagues.
- Shivananda Shenoy and other employees also reported sudden terminations, with many turning to LinkedIn to mark their profiles "Open to Work" and describing the news as difficult to process amid ongoing organizational changes.
- The layoffs have heightened concerns for immigrant technology workers regarding visa status; earlier this year, the company cut around 30,000 jobs globally, including nearly 12,000 in India, as AI adoption accelerates across the industry.
