SAP's hard times and the shortcomings of HANA

SAP went all in on HANA, and is clearly reversing course now. What went wrong? 1) A zero response DB - not true at all 2) HANA doesn't need any DBA/Basis people to run - not true at all 3) HANA runs on any platform/OS there are no restrictions - not... — read more 

Any info on german locations getting hit?

No rumors at my location in Germany, but keeping in mind the state that we’re in and the fact that US locations got hit recently, I figure it’s just a matter of time before the layoffs spill back to Europe again. Has there been any word on potential... — read more

Why are post being deleted?

I have been following this thread and noticed many posts are being removed. Is SAP monitoring this site? Is this site deleting posts at their request? Just curious if this is a free speech site as claimed or not?

Is this a good sign?

I see that posts here have slowed down - should I take that as a good sign that layoffs are over for now? Or is this simply calm before the storm and we are about to be hit with another round or three? What can I say, the last month at SAP has made... — read more

SAP unfortunately has still not figured out how to get user experience right. Usability is #1 issue customers are facing. Still there is no major investment in UX. I have heard designers even have to struggle to get right and latest design tools... — read more

SAP Europe layoffs on April 1

UK and Ireland, to be more precise. This has now been talked about enough that I think we can consider it confirmed (despite the suspicious date.) Good luck everybody there - if I'm not mistaken, packages there are better than in the U.S. so look at... — read more

Are there any signs of layoffs this week?

I’m at a US location but it would be helpful to get info on other worldwide locations as well, as SAP layoffs have the domino effect and they tend to spill to the US in any case, sooner or later. So have any layoffs happened, and if they have what... — read more

SAP betrayal

We have been loyal to this company, working on projects and skills that are only of value to this company; almost none of us were looking outside or constantly interviewing or fighting amongst ourselves for the s-xiest of trendiest projects. And now

When can we feel a little safer?

Not naive to think that layoffs will ever really stop, but there is a physical line under which they can’t lay off otherwise the company wouldn’t be able to operate. How close are we to that line, and is their goal realy to operate with the bare... — read more

This process should have been much more transparent

Good management wouldn't let us guess for weeks about what's going on - they'd be honest and communicate what their plans are - for better or worse - instead of leaving us in the dark. It's sad that we have to guess and search for clues outside of... — read more

Who will hire older employees?

Is there anybody? From what I've heard and read, if I'm laid off i'm royally screwed. Finding a job will either be impossible due to my age or the pay will be (at best) half of what I'm making now. Is there anybody out there who will actually be... — read more
