No email, no layoff
I understand that if I didn't get THE email I'm safe, but I also know that emails were not all sent at the same time. Does this apply if my team was already hit? Or can the rest of us still get the email? Is there any way to know when all the emails... — read more

People in great uncertainty
The company once again proves how little it cares about its employees, who right now are very concerned about whether they will lose their jobs or not. Couldn't they have at least managed these layoffs a little better so we're not feeling so much... — read more

The d-mbest thing to do
Is to lay off, but so that it is too little to make a difference. It has all the price to pay, impact on morale, and reputation yet it is still not to the right extent. Leadership are id...ts.

A thread for Polish folks to discuss the ongoing situation. The message from the Board has just came in and it says that 99 out of 1327 employees will be laid off(that's 7,5%) but as I understand they're talking only about employees, not sure if and... — read more
Layoffs are not merit based
I don't know what's the criteria but it's not performance. I can say that with certainty considering who we just lost.
Does this mean the US will be impacted on Monday as well?
I haven't been here for long, so I'm not sure how layoffs work at Sabre. Does it all take place at once, across all regions, or is it gradual and it will take a few days or even weeks before the US is hit? I have to admit, I wish I didn't check this... — read more

Sabre Reputation is a lay off is aways around the corner
If you have worked at Sabre for a decade or more you have probably survived several pay offs. I lost count after 5 or so layoffs. So the question is when is the next one if they do not achieve cash flow positive end of next year as it will probably... — read more
