How is SAP Chicago’s work culture? Is it 3 days office, 2 days work from home or completely work from home? Has the culture changed under new management? Are there frequent layoffs here?
ECS divestment??
When is SAP going to announce the divestment of ECS? This must be SAP's worst secret.... You can't run a sh*te service as this and something not happen... it may as well be taken over with part of it outsourced anyway.

Looks like the grass might not be as green as some thought

Dominik Metzger is an id--t
That's all I have to say. No leadership ability whatsoever. Can't even hire his entire team to get them in place. It has been 5 months.
It’s wild how much this place has changed
After all the cuts and good people leaving, we’re stuck with the most clueless management yet. Every decision feels like it’s made by someone who’s never done the actual work. How is this even sustainable at this point?
More cuts
More cuts are coming. Email received today on the Concur Technical Support side .
More of the same CEO, CFO
Because they're doing such amazing jobs, right? Right?
