If you ARE a survivor and you're given a "deal" to stay until which is around 25% of your salary. Have a lawyer review the letter - it's as good as the paper that it's written on. DO NOT take this offer as a sign that you are wonderful and they can't live without you. All this does is retain you because they are worried that you will leave, worried that you will be next or required to take on way too much in addition to your "already overflowing plate". They will not hesitate to cut you during the next layoff. In other words, the "bonus" contract is one sided (for their benefit). Take my advice - continue or start looking for a job elsewhere while you still have a job.
They are very crafty and have spent months planning and plotting this layoff....
If you're on vacation, your manager will text you or call you (and of course HR will also be on the call) - they have to get all of it done, completed on Monday - no exceptions.
What happens if you are on vacation on Monday?
Will they fire you when you return?
Ignorance of this isn't an option. Everyone knows about it. Most rooms are booked by HR from 8am to 1pm Monday. Ignorance is supposedly bliss but there's something to be said about being prepared too. It is what it is.
The real shame is that although some useless waste of space people will be kicked out finally so will many useful contributors. They will get caught up in this too, they always are. Then some more of the best people will quit soon after. There will be a short term drop in staff cost. In the long term the loss of useful people will be bad for business. Customer service will drop off a cliff. Customers will leave.
It's also very annoying to see the tens of millions of dollars that those few at the top are skimming off their stock options while the masses at the bottom do all the work that carries them aloft like Yurtle the Turtle. Put too much pressure on those at the bottom and eventually it will all come crashing down. It will happen if this continues.
I hope their money bought them happiness. I'll take personal integrity over money.
Confirmed all meeting rooms booked on Monday. Hold on folks this is going to be a bumpy ride.
Enjoy your weekend and sleep well kind ones.
Layoff is already taking place.. A lot of managers/directors have set up 1:1 meetings on Monday. If you still don't believe it, go to Outlook and check the availability for the rooms in BLDG-A, B and CC3... most of the meeting rooms have been booked by HR.
So who thought or even commented on this site that it's just a rumor, well no... Once again we are taking the hit.
And then two years from we get a big customer and we won't have enough people so those left will have to twice as much with half the knowledge and then they'll hire a bunch of cheap kids just out of school who wont even know what a PCC or TJR is.
It might be JULY 31 or later each time an Airline leave Sabre product you work on.
Just like the exercise mention in earlier post @OayklT8,
Leadership is preparing list, a list minimum number of people needed to run a product in maintenance mode. in case they have no new Airlines cutting over or big one leaves a product. So say a product might have 40 people working on it. In maintenance mode 10 or 11 would be doing the job.
