SAP keeps getting rid of all the seasoned employees because they’re too expensive and wants fresh, young people to fix the company. Problem is, nothing about the way SAP works changed after any layoffs. They just swapped people and called it... — read more 

Remember when CK claimed he would invest more in India, and now we’re facing layoffs instead? The board seems to be in a comfortable position, making decisions without any real accountability. A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for them to... — read more

I'm asking specifically about the US.

Is there anything I can do to make sure I am safe? I absolutely need to be safe. What can I do?

The mail from Gina just came in. I will focus on my team and my manager. I cannot really say much about upper management or board, as I am too new. But it is a good sign that SAP offers the opportunity to provide feedback. Hopefully people will... — read more 

Standby for more notifications to emerge

This is a bit of a rant, but I feel it's important to share my observations from my time at Signavio. Over the past year, I've noticed that many managers are situated far from their teams, with some teams in Berlin and their managers located in India... — read more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzETvTMUx8 And they say "if expectation of AI become less optimistic". Less optimistic? What happens when all their lies are completely exposed? Sam Altman makes Elon Musk look like a truth teller.

Please don’t get lulled into a false sense of security thinking this is over. The sad fact is that we no longer have job security. It doesn’t matter how long any of us have been here or how much value we bring every day. All that matters is that they... — read more 

After nearly twenty years here, I thought I had some stability. Turns out, I was just another name on a spreadsheet. I worked holidays, covered for others, and still got cut a few years short of retirement. It’s a rough reminder that dedication means... — read more 

I hope you all land good jobs soon, where you’ll be truly appreciated. Times are tough, so I’m wishing you all the luck. Just don’t forget that it’s almost never about your performance or potential, but the usual corporate politics and greed.

In the current "Wortwechsel" he is towing the line. 1-2% seems okay for him. On the other hand he focuses on the importance of culture. "Growth culture" is, according to him, soooo important. Am I the only one who sees a certain amount of... — read more

As we continue to see high-performing Canadians increasingly targeted by their American managers for political reasons, a concerning disparity is also emerging in termination practices, with a disproportionate number of minorities being affected.

Judging from what people have been reporting, the better you were at your job, the more essential you were to a project, the more experienced and skilled, the higher your chances of being laid off. I guess quality is expensive. I just wonder where... — read more 

This time my manager was laid off. That useless, d-mb weasel of a man managed to avoid every layoff so far and was even close to a promotion when this happened. I admit, I did a happy dance. That man made the lives of his entire team miserable on a... — read more

There’s a news article in India that talks about both SAP and Novo Nordisk cutting jobs. For Novo, the reason is likely because India approved Ozempic (semaglutide) for adults with type 2 diabetes. For SAP, it’s the 1-2% cut to get rid of the dental... — read more 

Any rumours on what this will entail? They're saying it's not a cost saving exercise, which I highly doubt.

The anxiety is affecting me already. I cannot sleep properly and worry all day about the future. When will it end?

Heard some folks are getting whacked starting tomorrow.

There has been some rumors that Aneesha Shanoy might be leaving the company and that a new Revenue Operations restructure could be happening in Q4. Has anyone else heard about this or have more insight? Would love to get a clearer picture if... — read more
