Thread regarding SAP layoffs

Why CK deserve a pay cut and not a bonus

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 alter performance measurement or halt a program like MOVE SAP, but now they can do so without challenge. Their only apparent strategy is to use layoffs as a tool to boost stock prices, showing a lack of genuine direction in their actions.

Meanwhile, Germany is experiencing significant political shifts, with the AFD gaining traction and many citizens expressing frustration over the representation of non-Western individuals in various roles. This discontent is not rooted in racism but rather in a sense of lost opportunities and stagnant wages.

CK and his board seem to be aligning themselves with the AFD, likely hoping for increased bonuses under their potential leadership, while they continue to earn far more than the average SAP employee. What are your thoughts? Should we advocate for a salary cut and no bonus for CK and the board? How do we go about it? Should we have a general strike?

@b4 There's nothing lazy or "cop out" about calling AFD far-right extremists. It is a factual description of the party.

US players are cutting overhead, e.g. HR which could be well delivered by AI... What SAP is cutting?

SAP was always run by Hasso and Deitmer , if you had been in SAP for long u would have know that. Now both of them are not active. The current board has no direction they look at american companies and try to follow. Top line is sales , bottom lines is operations so they cut jobs to make the bottom line good. There is no real strategy. We came out of infrastructre two years back and now the oracle is heavy on infrastructure. We had HANA which was infrastructure component u all know how the story went. SAP is a mud horse in a river , just matter of time. It needs strong leadership now.

Calling everything "far right" is such a lazy cop out that self righteous, simple minded people rely on with minimal effort. In the United States we have hoards of people marching around with signs celebrating and calling for as-----nations and these are the very people accusing the other side of being violent and inappropriate.

CK is like any other big tech CEO. He parrots whatever is fed to him. He's not a leader. He's a trend hopper who is using SAP to collect as much money as he can. He has no actual beliefs or convictions.

@an No. AfD is a confirmed extreme-right party. Their ideas are anathema to all that SAP needs from politics. They would leave the Euro, the EU and maybe NATO. The German economy would tank, taking a large SAP market with it. Foreign talents would no longer come to Germany, including to SAP.

AfD is a nasty party. SAP should keep them as far away as possible and not align with them.

SAP couldn't be further from aligning with the AFD - a bit more alignment might be good though
