The roadmap for Joule functionality is mind blowingly slow. So many in SAP seem happy to plug in third party solutions. Meanwhile our UX problems show no sign of being addressed. Tough times ahead.

For some time now we are „entertained“ here (I use the term in the loosest possible sense) by someone calling him- or herself „CK-Fan“. For me it is clear that this is sarcasm. Nobody with a grain of self-respect would be that bootlicking. Now it... — read more

Which country are they bribing now, almighty governance of procedures. Which employee is receiving a big payout for wrong doing and employees get a modest 1 % annual increase. They may market themselves as the best company in Europe, but clients... — read more 

Any thoughts on this? Members of both the Executive board and the Advisory board attending. Seems odd that advisory board members are attending.

I know CK-fan will be heartbroken, but maybe it is time to reevaluate whether SAP still needs CK. Maybe the AI strategy will offer an alternative? https://ai-ceo.org/

Rumor is that concur is preparing for another round of layoffs is on the horizon.

The board is doing such a great job. Day in and day out they work their behinds off for the benefit of the customers, the shareholders and the employees. The employees should really, really thank the board. Let us collect ideas how to do this!

SAP needs to step up its game big time before it gets left behind. We pretty much divested on the ERP market ( was it smart move? ) to focus supposedly on Cloud and AI. Meanwhile Oracle has just posted a explosive 32% monthly gain vs SAP -3%... — read more 

How is SAP Chicago’s work culture? Is it 3 days office, 2 days work from home or completely work from home? Has the culture changed under new management? Are there frequent layoffs here?

When is SAP going to announce the divestment of ECS? This must be SAP's worst secret.... You can't run a sh*te service as this and something not happen... it may as well be taken over with part of it outsourced anyway.

Proof is in the pudding 📉

That's all I have to say. No leadership ability whatsoever. Can't even hire his entire team to get them in place. It has been 5 months.

After all the cuts and good people leaving, we’re stuck with the most clueless management yet. Every decision feels like it’s made by someone who’s never done the actual work. How is this even sustainable at this point?

More cuts are coming. Email received today on the Concur Technical Support side .

Because they're doing such amazing jobs, right? Right?

A bit more transparency from the leadership. Not having to rely solely on an anonymous page for layoff info would be amazing. Is that too much to ask for?

So far I have not heard of any layoffs within concur? Did we dodge a bullet????

Anyone who has failed their first attempt and re-taken the test, is it the same test or are there different questions?
