Challenges plaguing Sabre's layoffs decision

Workers pay for management incompetence
The problem with the new leadership is that the entirety of their airline experience is that they are Exec Platinum. Most airline leaders can tell when one of our execs haven't got a clue about what our products really do. They laugh when people that... — read more

Who didn't see that coming? Etihad is a shady and unethical company run by idiot expats that don't even know the airline business. Paying people 200K a year for what we get 75K for. I hope they go under, they have been the reason this company went... — read more
No one is forcing you to work at Sabre
Yes, the layoff was bad. Some good people were let go. Some people needed to be let go. Either way, what's done is done and it's time to move on. All of you folks still working for the company and STILL bad-mouthing it - give your two-week notice on... — read more
Effed up company
