So, Kurt visited the Krakow office last month. My first impression was that he was extremely arrogant to the point where he criticized Sean, Dave Moore and others for sinking Sabre - there might be some truth to that but he hasn't achieved anything... — read more
Sabre's acquisition of Techsembly
Is it crazy for a company with financial troubles to make an acquisition? It seems illogical since it requires spending money and carries risks associated with acquisitions. Does anyone know what could be the reasons for this acquisition? Will it... — read more
This is a miserable workplace
I've been working here for a long time and I don't think this place was ever more miserable than it is now. Either that or I simply can't remember if there were any worse and more difficult years for employees here...
Customer support area has become terrible
I will never understand the reason of cutting personnel from the customer service team (Product Support, Technical, etc.). Sabre would have a good customer service and clients had to wait no more than 10 minutes to be contacted. Now, since most... — read more
Q2 Earnings is July 31 - not going to be good
Share price is the lowest in the 9 years Sabre last went public in April 2014. The cost savings of laying off 1000 people will not be realized for several quarters. Unless leisure travel picks up, and recession fear goes away the share price and the... — read more

Beatings will continue until morale improves
They pay me enough not to quit, so I do enough not to get fired!
Retention bonuses given out
The people running the company and in HR now, deciding cuts etc, are also the ones now rewarding themselves retention incentives. Don’t put your faith in them. The people with power do not have your best interests as their top priority. So self... — read more
Work/life balance
Everyone knew, those who are left behind will go through a different misery. I have been told by my leader that I should be happy that I have a job. People are working 10-12 hours. Is this where you want to work?
Why is the leadership team traveling the world?
It doesn’t seem financially responsible. The leadership team needs to be focused on driving revenue. That’s it. Stop talking about it and drive business. Stock is less than $4. Globetrotting for cheer rallies isn’t it. Do better. Be humble and don’t... — read more

The goal is to lay of ALL U.S. based employees
If you’re based in the U.S. , the end game is to lay you off while keeping an offshore employee. This company will file BK soon if they are not taken over, but who wants it with this much debt? Get a plan B ready and get the severance, so you can... — read more
Mass layoffs are never the fault of employees
Mass layoffs are never the fault of employees and are always the fault of C-level people who fail to properly anticipate demand or lack thereof. They are the results of companies growing beyond what organically can be supported by the market demand... — read more
Do you resent your manager?
If you were laid off, do you resent your manager? I'm pi---d off at my manager on behalf of those who were cut in the last round, I can only imagine how those who were actually affected feel. If the cuts made more sense it would be one thing, but the... — read more
Are they selling our data?
I swear they're selling our data, would make sense given how broke they are as a company apparently. Ever since the layoff I'm getting at least 10x as many junk phone calls and spam emails as I used to despite the fact that I haven't been putting my... — read more
Sean Menke: Worst CEO at Sabre ever?
It seems he is the worst CEO Sabre ever had, looking at the performance metrics and his people skills. Worse than even Bill Hannigan... that is tough to beat!
Under utilized managers being laid off next?
I heard that vps, directors, managers, supervisors and team leads with less than 5 direct reports were going to be part of the next lay off. Probably a good cost saving idea and long overdue but any truth in that?
The FRED factor at Sabre
Remember when Sabre wanted you to read “The Fred Factor” ? It was about Fred the mailman and his boring job. They made you feel like Sabre was king of the world. Funny thing is , Fred had a postal job with better benefits than Sabre, was protected by... — read more

While business is going downhill
How is it possible that there are so many bad managers who don't know (and some don't want to) bring out the best in people? I don't intend to be another brown noser and I have a feeling that this is precisely the reason for the manager's bad... — read more
Contractors layoffs
Today some contractors (including me) were informed about layoff with one month period
The ideal employee
In the past, the ideal employee here was someone with competencies who adds value and is dedicated to his or her work to the maximum…… Today, however, it seems that the ideal employee in this company is someone without experience, who barely knows... — read more
EU employees status still TBD
It is 30-May and EU-based employees still do not know anything about RIFs. The big announcement was 15May and since then there has been no update from HR. Leadership talks like the RIFs are all over without even acknowledging that EU employees are... — read more
Just doesn’t seem fair
I invested many years at Sabre just to be left out in the cold like an unwanted old pet. I was potty trained and thought I was obedient. Always remember everyone is expendable so have a plan B. I did not.
Farewell and thanks
I remember a time when an employee who had given a large part of his/her life to a company was thanked sincerely for their contributions, taken out for a nice meal and given a generous gift. 20/30 year veterans are now told to eff off and threatened... — read more
Number of job levels in Sabre
I was laid off on 15 May and when I spoke with a recruiter, she asked about the job levels in Sabre to match my role with her organization. I can't remember the total number of job levels in Sabre. Can someone please let me know?
Call Center situation
Does anyone know if Sabre is planning on closing any one of the 3 call centers worldwide and then having WSOL take over all the calls???

There are still many excellent employees here
I understand why those of us who cannot find a new job are still here, but I don't understand how it is possible that so many people with great skills, who are very marketable, are still here?
Where are the pet adoption people?
Usually when there is a layoff, they have a pet adoption at the same time to distract others that half of your coworkers just took it in the rear.
There's no point in staying at Sabre!
I've only been here for two years and I already hate it. The base salary ain't cutting it, there's no chance for career growth, and the job itself is boring. Having layoffs at a time when there are more and more employees who are thinking like me is... — read more
