Well I just got a call from a recruiter looking for contractors to work at Sabre for NIIT. Ticketing, Check in, and reaccommodation... If that's not some shady BS..

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Just curious - of the 800 or so employees affected by recent layoffs, were any of those from the Shanghai office?

I heard that layoffs occurred Monday and Tuesday of this week but is that it for the time being? Have all layoffs been communicated?

I work for one of the TN teams, and we were told that some of our dev teams might end up reassigned to totally different products (where most people have already quit). An incident where some products were sold to a third-party (along with the... — read more 

What happens to our unemployment payments during the severance.? I'm already receiving payments from the furlough but what if we don't get a job once the severance kicks in. Do we get both payments at the same time?

Does this restructure position Sabre for long term success? Specifically, will Sabre recover faster than large competitors such as Amadeus and Travelport?

Does anyone know if there is still a non compete if you are laidoff and recieving severance?

Did anyone else get 13 weeks severance when they were expecting less? I’m thinking that they might have set a minimum of 13 weeks as my length of service was less and for a my position I was only expecting one week for every year. Can anyone else... — read more 

To people who were laid off yesterday, you'll be okay in the end. I was laid off last year and while it wasn't an immediate thing I managed to find a new job that is about the same pay but with much, much better work environment than at Sabre. Being... — read more 

I had understood that the company had sent notifications to all employees yesterday telling them that they were either being laid off or that they were not on the list. That seems to have happened in some locations but not in others. Anyone know why... — read more 

Are we sure this round is done? Or will there be more today? I wouldn't stress over this so much that it's keeping me awake if economy was in any better state. But being laid off now...I just don't know how realistic it would be to expect to be... — read more 

I received a call this morning from management. My role no longer exists. We're supposed to get follow up emails from HR at some point.

If you are a very long-time employee, though not your choice, it might be to your advantage to be part of the current layoff. As happened at so many other companies, severance will be reduced before each new layoff.

In my case Mvd, previously on furlough. Having many recognitions in the last years. Any clue of the criteria applied?

Just received an email from DocuSign You are receiving this notification because Sabre GLBL HR has a document retention policy. Your signed documents for 'Onboarding documents will be removed from DocuSign. Bad sign or normal?

I know I will be one of the 800 layoffs for sure. At this point, I only care about if Sabre is going to pay severance package and accrued PTO? Anyone has any intel about this?

I hope it is just a rumour but I am afraid it is not. Lay off are expected tomorrow. Not sure if it would be the 800. Please post your updates/comments

I appreciate that Sean tries, to the extent he can, to be transparent. However, we do not need 8 minutes of lecture about Sabre's financial situation and how bad things are in the industry. No amount of humanizing yourself by talking about your... — read more 

Are things going to improve after this layoff? With everywhere around the world reopening, AA increasing flights, a positive jobs report, the stock market booming, and the President saying the virus is finished... it all sounds like rainbows and... — read more 

How much do you think Sean Menke will rake in this year? How FAT will his end of year bonus be for cutting everyone's salary, not taking the government backed bailout to save everyone's job and salary? Do you think the executive team deserves any... — read more 

Would you take a 20% pay cut if someone was to guarantee you job security for next 10 years? If yes (or no), why?

Once again Sabre announces layoffs and then lets us stew for who knows how long before sending out notifications. Why? Why be so unnecessarily cruel? So many of us already have so much to worry about, especially considering everything that's been... — read more 

Are all employees potentially subject to layoffs or only the furloughed ones ?

Just wondering when the next shoe is going to drop? It looks like it’s time for an announcement on what next steps are going to be. Airlines are announcing significant cuts in personnel and schedule. Many are offering voluntary programs with a side... — read more 

Planned or Unplanned. It doesn't really matter. It's absolutely incredible to see the talent drain Sabre is experiencing right now. The actions of the last few months have sent people running for the exits, some in an organized fashion through vol... — read more 

I was told pre-furlough some team members may be called back sooner that the two months. Anyone aware of this?

How are you handling anxiety and depression? Can you give some tips?

Out of curiosity, managers reaching out to you to see how you are doing ?

Why are 95% of Directors incompetent, spineless and heartless individuals. Is that a qualification to be a Director in Sabre? My Delivery Director is the most unqualified and incompetent person I have ever met. He/She seems completely oblivious of... — read more 

I am hearing lists are being made and ranked according to different categories. Not just those furloughed but alot of others are going to take deep cuts with the TN re-org.

My whole team was just laid off as a cost cutting measure. I don't Sabre though. I do blame the media for over hyping the corona virus threat and causing this virus hysteria.

Confirmed from another friend of mine–the vast of majority of H1Bs got stayed, although there might be a couple H1Bs got furloughed as well, because if H1B got furloughed they do not meet the income requirement anymore per USCIS and there will some... — read more 

Heard from a friend of mine. Furlough will turn into a layoff soon. Nuff said. Period.

80M in fixed costs a month for a lights on zero bookings scenario. Im assuming wages are included as part of this 80M, among other fixed costs? Cost savings from furlough of 1/3 of staff =125M savings I.e. 62.5M a month.. Conservatively full... — read more 

Any thoughts or bets what solutions Sabre could sunset or sell in an effort to become more lean?

I know people at Amadeus and Travelport and both will be laying off. Amadeus is in more trouble in the US because they cannot lay off people in France and Spain so US will take a big hit, like 25 to 30 percent. Travelport will probably be 10 to 15... — read more
