Has there been any layoffs in operations teams. Very strange lots of senior managers moved roles or disappeared in January. Must of been tipped off. What is happening to all the LACE and sales support teams

After such poorly conducted layoffs, which, among other things, is reflected in their negligence to give employees all the necessary information, I think it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to restore morale among the employees who... — read more 

How long are we safe for? A month? Two? It used to be that we shouldn't worry about layoffs for a year at least when a major round was done. Those times are long gone, though. I'm not even sure anymore if the rest of this month will be without... — read more

The layoff process has not impacted SAP’s ratings on Glassdoor. While enjoyable to post here … please provide your reviews on the site. Perhaps a way to hold SAP leadership accountant for this cluster.

This layoff process should be reviewed by our outside directors. None of our board member can be proud of how this was handled. If they are, their contracts should not be renewed or better yet - fired.

I am not impacted, but I sympathize with everyone who is and I wish you luck to get new, better opportunities. I started looking for a new job myself, because I am more than disappointed with the way the layoffs were managed here. The story I... — read more

If these are not performance-related layoffs, then what are the criteria for who gets notified that they are no longer needed here?

To those who were laid off today, what does your severance package look like? And when is your official last date? (for payroll and returning equipment etc.).

Looks like if your in BI in the Lake Mary office ...gone.

This layoff is a bit different if compared to the others we had before - this one sees to be more wide-spead, it's not targeting specific pockets or groups. I may be wrong but this one feels different. It'll be interesting to see what kind of impact... — read more 

A coworker got one earlier today but I didn't. I also saw in another thread that another person got something similar. Is this layoff-related or could it be something else? We are all stressed and can't wait for this to be over. Our productivity is... — read more 

Some here say that the manager has no influence on the decision whom to lay off but for me it's hard to believe.

What frustrates me the most is that some hard working employees will be punished with a layoff for something that someone else should bear the blame for. Why is SAP failing to post a profit? Will the leadership finally realize its mistakes?

I have never worked in such a poorly run company such as SAP. Have you? I think that in the coming months the mess will become even bigger.

Any idea what the redundancy package looks like, the silence here is very concerning. Will they give people enough to make it back into a job in a tough market? What was it last year

This has become such a poorly run company. Maybe it's high time that our leadership pays some attention to the fact that there are so many employees who would like to be laid off. Isn't it worrisome that most people assume that the best employees... — read more 

With the recent announcement, I'm curious to know how layoffs work at SAP? Do managers provide a list? Have managers already been asked to provide a list? Is it somewhat random?

some numbers are being leaked with 28 positions to be gone in Spain. 200 in Germany but the agreement with WC to find alternative positions. it seems that CX is highly affected - anyone else knows anything

I'll never understand why they don't let us volunteer before layoffs. Every single time we lose people who want to and need to be here and people who are praying to be laid off and get severance are the ones who stay behind. Wouldn't it be better for... — read more

Any of you heard rumours the impact will affect those too, ie India, Eastern Europa, Southeast Asia ? Those locations were mainly spared from the layoffs in 2019 but we just got today a email hinting about it.
