Is there anybody? From what I've heard and read, if I'm laid off i'm royally screwed. Finding a job will either be impossible due to my age or the pay will be (at best) half of what I'm making now. Is there anybody out there who will actually be... — read more

I have a simple question - why does this entire industry believe that laying off employees with most knowledge and experience will solve problems that were not created by them, but by the inadequate and self serving upper management? I'm pretty sure... — read more 

I believe the numbers go a lot higher than what the company is reporting to the media. Given the fact that these layoffs were done in multiple countries and in multiple locations I imagine it was rather easy to hide the real number of heads that was... — read more 

If this is true, SAP developers are going the way of the dinosaur. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6513163664122474496

The entire thing is a farce. It's a cost cutting measure, no matter how they try to spin it. If they truly were strategic instead of being top down numbers, they wouldn't have laid off a mere 6 people spread across a variety of teams in CoE North... — read more 

Our team was stretched thin as it is - and we are down three people. How exactly are we supposed to finish anything on time from now on when we could barely do it before? Whoever made the decision on who to lay off had no idea what they were doing -... — read more 

I would appreciate if SAP people posted if layoffs are continuing and if they are at what locations? Any opinions whether cuts will continue throughout this week and are they gonna continue being worldwide?

Total layoff stand @550 in US? Or more than that?

Wondering if there could be lawsuits against SAP for discriminating offering VERP based on different ages. In the U.S, VERP is offered to those 59 and above, in Canada it's 58 and above and in Germany it's 55 and above. Would these lawsuits hold... — read more 

Anyone who thinks that this is a sole wave and who survived is safe now, is being naive. So my question is when can we expect a second wave? Maybe they will try to do it in smaller portions and in a longer period of time, avoiding the sensation of an... — read more 

HR has handled this so poorly. Case in point: an emploee on leave to bury a parent laid off while sitting at the funeral home (yes, said employee asked to reschedule the meeting and told HR why), an employee promoted 3 weeks before has their job... — read more 

Now that US VERP have declared, is anyone hearing about a second round to make the target number? Does anyone have a POV on Bill’s last Friday call with VP+?

Maybe I'm oversimplifying the whole situation, but it’s a fact that almost all of the laid off employees were not management of any kind, but “regular” employees. How the hell can trimming the number of those who bring actual value to the company and... — read more

The way how SAP HR is managing the layoff process here in the US is just bad - it's substandard and it's borderline unprofessional. The communication is lacking, the journey is fuzzy and the rumors swirling in the office are mind boggling. I am... — read more

Is there any limit on the fleet card for buying windshield washer fluid or better some high performance motor oil? It might be worth buying a higher amount before being fired. What's your opinion?

I'm tired of losing sleep every night because I'm worried about layoffs and whether my job will still be there tomorrow or the day after. This needs to end, now.

I heard that people in the EU get a severance package with 4 weeks for every year. If you had a company car you get it for the half price. Is that true?

It looks like those who did not accept VERP will get it anyway (4 weeks as opposed to 2 for younger people laid off). I have signed the waiver but I have until 3/18 to retract it. I guess if I did, it wouldn’t affect my payout and I would still be... — read more
