Topics regarding layoffs at Sabre Holdings

I'm done with this place

Does anybody else even try anymore? Cares enough to try? I'm well beyond that point. I've seen people who gave their all to this company be shown the door without a second thought while the majority of slackers never saw any consequences. So why... — read more 

How you treat people matters

This is really a story of destroyed relationships. Previous employees now at SW. Previous leaders now at Travelport. Always treat your clients right Always treat your employees right They might just both decide you never needed to be in the... — read more 

What are they doing??

I was furloughed. I have a lot of activities I had to turn over. I had to deal with the constant "I'm already so busy, how am I going to be able to do your tasks on top of mine?" I'm now seeing these same co-workers who were sooo busy to begin... — read more 

Expect more layoffs

If you think we've seen the worst of it you are sadly mistaken. I'm pretty sure Sabre is far from being done with us. And those of you who think you are safe, think again. There is no such thing as "safe" in this company anymore, everybody should... — read more 

Exit interview?

Any recently departed given an exit interview or even an exit survey? I've seen nothing and heard of nothing. If I were running an organization I think I would want to know why so many people were eager to depart.

Sabre needs srrong technology leadership

We are not an airline. We are not a travel agent. Yet I have a feeling that 90% of top management at Sabre comes from operations units of travel companies. That's why we cannot migrate to cloud on our own. That's the root of the acquisition fail... — read more 

FareLogix Fail

All those millions wasted for something that did not happen. How ya'll furloughed people feeling now?

I am not even sure if Sabre will survive

Everyone is dreaming if they think they are going to call us back. I know many that will be relaxing during this period and are hoping to be called back. There may be a handful, but most will not. It's going to take 18-36 months for them to get... — read more 

Same old thing

I wouldn't mind this as much if they started laying off the right people for a change. But seeing the best employees forced out over and over again...just makes me even sadder and madder.

When will we start getting calls to return?

The pandemic situation seems to be improving and from the looks of it, most of the country will start slowly reopening. I don't expect it to be an instant thing, it will probably take weeks for everything to be up and running again. So where do we... — read more 

Furlough

So the company imposed a mandatory pay cut for US employees and voluntary for non US. They offered severance and early retirement and got plenty of takers. In a matter of a few weeks they then mandated one third of the company out on furlough. The... — read more 

SM and jobs

SM. Time for some self sacrifice buddy. Sabre could have over 80 DFW jobs or close to 240 jobs in India if SM would just quit. So just do it buddy. Be a team player and finally make a positive impact. You quitting would save hundreds of jobs — read more 

More this week?

I heard there'll be more cuts before the months is over, can anybody here confirm this?

When will it end?

From the looks of it, they're not done with layoffs just yet. I'm starting to wonder if it'll ever end...or if they'll just continue getting rid of most of us one by one...

What are your honest thoughts ?

Since we have all had at least 24 hours to digest this news, what are your honest thoughts about this situation? Do you this it’s a precursor to a lay-off ? What will we be going back to (if) we go back in July?

H1B and furloughed!

Are there any H1B visa holders that are furloughed? Is this possible given the requirements for H1B visa?

H-1b abuse in U.S.

If you think you saw abuse of the H-1b program, please contact your representative. house.gov This is not about racism or hate. Even if it won't help you, do it for your children, for the next guy.

Tough all around - See Expedia, Marriott, etc.

This definitely s—s, sorry for any and all impacted at Sabre and elsewhere in both job and health fronts. But if it makes us feel any better, this is not a Sabre only issue. Check the headlines: Expedia furlough thru Aug 31 with $3.2 BN capital... — read more

Should people be looking for a new job?

What are the chances that we'll end up being called back and not just outright laid off? And considering how many people are losing their jobs all over the industry, it seems that getting a head start on finding a new job would be prudent. After all... — read more 

HS leadership

There are still people who wear Prada suite and writing books in this hard time.EH never did any good in HS, never wrote a single line of code in his whole life but become self called CTO of HS. His architected software didn’t survive and didn’t make... — read more 

Warn act?

Was the reason for branding this lay-off as furlough to get around the Warn Act? Once access is turned off do they then declare it as a lay-off?

Is the CEO taking a PayCut?

Are the CO's taking paycuts to help the company? What about the board of directors? Low man always bites the dust!!

Has everybody been notified?

Have all the people who are being furloughed been notified or are the calls/emails/whatever still going out? I need to know if I'm safe or if there is still a chance I'll be among the affected 4,000. This is affecting my mental health enough as it... — read more 

Fair Logix

Reading through the posts below, someone mentioned Fair Logix. If the deal with Fair Logix fell through wouldn't that just force Sabre to develop a solution themselves ? I just googled it. That seemed to be the conclusion of the CMA. The CMA also... — read more

Why a loan instead of government assistance?

Airlines got billions. They cannot layoff or furlough employees because of this until Sep. 30, as far as I know. But it also limits executive compensation. Why did not Sabre take government assistance? Anyone knows?

Pay reduction with unemployment

Has anyone filed for pay reduction unemployment in DFW? I just filed today but not sure how much to expect back since it’s pretty vague via the website.

Another Volunteer Program?

Anyone know if there will be another round of a volunteer program with severance before layoff? CEO already mentioned we would come out of this smaller so I know a layoff will occur soon. I think more will volunteer as the COVID-19 scare subsidies... — read more 

Retrenchment

In past retrenchment exercises think 2018 and 2009 was there any general trend as to how it was decided who would get laid off? Seniority - last in first out, points based, or functions based? Etc.

Unfair severance package

So finally lucky people got their severance email today that 24 is the last day for them. Company will serve them full salary for 10 months who took this opportunity. There are people who worked as Directors, Sr.Directors for the company only few... — read more
