‘Unable to log in’: After 12 years at Oracle, senior developer laid off

**After 12 Years at Oracle, Senior Developer Returns to Job Market Following Layoff**

After spending 12 years at Oracle, Senior Principal Software Developer Sourabh S. has returned to the job market following a recent layoff, with his wife describing the circumstances surrounding his departure in a LinkedIn post.

According to his wife, Sourabh discovered that his employment had ended when he was unable to log into his work system.

She said the abrupt loss of access became the way he learned that he had been laid off after more than a decade with the company.

“My husband Sourabh lost his job today,” she wrote in the post, describing the experience as particularly difficult after his years of service.

Sourabh has nearly two decades of experience in the information technology industry and has now updated his LinkedIn profile to indicate that he is open to new opportunities.

His wife’s message highlighted the dedication she said he had consistently shown throughout his career.

She described him as exceptionally hardworking and committed to his responsibilities at Oracle.

According to her account, Sourabh continued working even during challenging personal circumstances and important family moments.

She recalled an occasion when she was hospitalized for surgery to remove polyps, while Sourabh continued handling work responsibilities from the hospital.

During a family vacation in New Mexico, she said he remained available for work while she drove.

His work commitments, according to the post, also frequently extended into holidays, weekends and significant family occasions.

She specifically mentioned festivals including Holi, Diwali and Rakhi, as well as birthdays and anniversaries, when he continued working.

The family’s recent adoption of a dog also became another example of the demanding schedule she described.

She said Sourabh cared for the new pet while continuing to work late into the night, sometimes until around 3 a.m.

According to his wife, the extended working hours eventually affected his health.

She said much of the effort and pressure behind his professional responsibilities was not apparent to people outside their household.

Despite the workload, she described him as someone who maintained a positive attitude and remained willing to help colleagues.

She also said he rarely complained about the pressures associated with his job, even among close friends.

Sourabh’s professional career has included recognition for his work, with his wife saying he received a Best Employee Award during his nearly two decades in the IT industry.

### Seeking a New Opportunity

Following the layoff, his wife has turned to her professional network to seek potential opportunities for him.

She asked contacts who know of suitable openings to consider referring Sourabh for another position.

Her post emphasized that she believes his experience and collaborative approach could make him a valuable addition to another organization.

The message also highlighted the uncertainty faced by technology professionals who are working in the United States on employment-based visas.

For some workers, an unexpected job loss can create additional pressure because their immigration circumstances may require them to secure another qualifying employer within applicable time limits.

Sourabh’s wife dedicated part of her message to workers who put in long hours while supporting their families and managing uncertainty surrounding their immigration status.

She concluded by expressing her appreciation for her husband’s efforts and offering encouragement as he begins the next stage of his career.

After 12 years at Oracle, Sourabh’s LinkedIn profile now reflects a significant professional transition as he searches for his next opportunity in the technology industry.
