Shipped jobs to ITC and vendors who do absolutely nothing and are robbing us with inflated contracts that leadership is clueless about.
Tons of bloat, inexperience and toxicity in tech leadership and down.
Tech can’t drive excitement for product or make meaning commercials, but we’re sure not helping the sinking ship.
Sabre’s operational trajectory reveals a profound leadership failure to translate a $323 million five-year investment in software development into genuine innovation, as these funds have served primarily as defensive "keep-the-lights-on" expenditure rather than a catalyst for non-linear revenue or structural cost efficiency. This stagnation is starkly evidenced by an efficiency paradox where the company shed 38% of its workforce—collapsing from approximately 7,500 employees in 2022 to 4,650 in 2025—while simultaneously handling 21% higher booking volumes, exposing a staggering level of historical dead weight and persistent resource mismanagement. The reality is that Sabre’s "transformation" is fueled not by software-driven productivity, but by an aggressive cycle of layoffs; nearly 100% of the $70 million in technology expense reductions in 2025 came from labor and professional service cuts, while cloud migration contributed a mere $18 million in hosting savings. With leadership planning to sink another $65 million into restructuring and further layoffs for 2026, it is clear the primary strategy remains shrinking for survival, confirming that half a decade of massive capital outlays has yielded no meaningful innovation-driven value or digital scale for the enterprise.
managers want us to get excited because we're "getting new coworkers" aka once again outsourcing to india. meanwhile more things on the tech side are broken than ever
