People are scaring me with their talk of the job market. Whoever I talk to complains about how there are not enough available jobs, how employers are lowballing people, and how it takes a miracle to get an offer. It would be good for my mental state... — read more

I was impacted - part of the SuccessFactors team. Being remote I couldn't guage this was coming. How wide spread is SuccessFactors team impact in this go around?

Once again continuing with the lies that there are any roles for the layed off to move to when there are 0 available and even the ones they promised have disappeared.

So, particularly on teams that were decimated but not wiped out, do you think the people who were kept are now essentially in the role of keeping the lights on long enough to train their own replacement squads? I heard that one team would be... — read more

Having found a job after 6 months, I am only making 53% of what I made at my last place. Anything that can be done remotely, can be done cheaper so the ride is over I think.

It's not a good plan but I figure if they fire the best people around me what's the point in being here? Sure the market is bad but SAP already pays terribly and when eventually I find a new job I'll actually get paid market rate. Fu-k this place.
