Am I the only one left? or Does no one care anymore? Truth be told I would rather someone give me good news. A reason to be optimistic. I am not on here to vent rather grasping for something to be positive about.
How’s the employee morale these days
Seriously .. is there any worse company out there? For 10 years going in thinking any day could be your last
Did they really get rid of our best sales leader
People are you kidding me? The one guy that cared about this place? It’s like we are trying to fail!!
Sungard AS is in a death spiral
This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been there for a while. If you are lucky enough to get your name called at the next round of cuts, take the money and run as the severance packages will start to shrink more and more. Also... — read more
November Layoffs
Yes my friends November we will have lots of layoffs. DCO/RSOPS. Company is doing so good we need to cut cut cut.
Has anyone seen the all new shiny private cloud offering? I mean hpc zombie returned from the dead.
Would really like someone, anyone, try to explain the differentiation SG brings to what is essentially an out of the box solution from Dell. Are we back to trying to secure 30% margin on someone else’s service offerings again ! Oh wait. Colo... — read more

Last month of the quarter usually means a quick headcount shakedown.
Good luck to fellow sungarders who have managed to make it this far in the sh@tshow that is 2020. We are at the regular quarterly shakedown. I wonder who is walking around unaware of their names being put on lists ? It is the Sungard way after... — read more
Next Generation AWS MSP Team!!!
Where's OPG? Isn't this new and exciting? Isn't this going to right the ship? Maybe if the whole team wasn't outsourced. Maybe. The real question is: Why would anyone trust Sungard to manage their cloud infrastructure?
is tomorrow another Layoff ?
I'm guessing so since there have been moves in the PODS. Is it CR or PUNE or US or all three. Keep your head up and watch out.
You down with OPG(2)
No one likes working here anymore. Stop trolling us on a layoff site.
You Down with OPG?
To all those that question my employment... Yes I am still here. To all those that question my outlook... Yes I am still positive. To all those that question my commitment... Yes I am still committed 100%. My Employment: I work for a firm that... — read more
Where OPG???
Maybe he’s come to his senses? Maybe he’s embarrassed he defended such a pathetic company for so long?
How’s the employee morale?
It was terrible when I left 2 years ago ... can’t imagine what it’s like now ... what kind of Positive BS are they trying to spin these days?
Status of UK Team?
I'm no longer with SGAS, but was there for a long long time. Did layoffs happen in UK? Just wondering cuz I thought UK was the one bright spot and heard they might be spun off at some point. Thx.
When are layoffs expected to start?
Somebody mentioned June layoffs, are they supposed to start this week or sometime later in the month?
Roll up, Roll up. Whois next on the departure list for June ?
As we bid farewell to our colleagues who were pushed in May, it is worth serious consideration as to which names will be pulled from the hat as of next week. Could be any one of us.
Sungard leadership is using the pandemic as a cover for their incompetence
Sungard is so badly mismanaged that a complete crash is inevitable. COVID-19 just hastened us on our way to that point. But the management is sure using it as an excuse to justify the poor state of the company - as if everything is the pandemic's... — read more
And the other shoe drops...
401 employee match to 50% - oh well at least it's not Zero. And for those of you sitting on the sideline asking why we don't leave and cut our losses...would you leave in the current state the economy is in? Besides they said they will revisit these... — read more
SAS is done, stick a fork in it.
Anyone tired of these BS “partnerships” that go nowhere? Come up with ideas on your own for Godsakes!
Crotty has left the building!
He was brought in less than 1 year ago, now he's gone. Anyone know the inside scoop as to why a high-ranking sales and marketing executive like BC left? Or did he get fed up with the losing proposition called "Sungard Availability Services"?
Unitas Deal
Does anyone know what the Unitas deal means in the long run?
Here we are again. Layoffs today. second week in a row
Looks like pre-sales support but I am sure they'll come for network as well.
Will there be more layoffs this week?
After last week, I wouldn't be surprised to see a continuation. I haven't heard of any cuts yesterday, but Monday is rarely a day for layoffs.
And the redundancies continue.
One thing you can bet your last buck on is that irrespective of the global concerns around pandemics and economic downturn and social upheaval, SG will be steadfast in its plan to get rid of people. Exits throughout May and into June to adjust the... — read more
Rest of 2020
With covid-19 happening and customers/prospects budgets frozen, what’s the rest of the year look like for the business?
Covid 19=No merit increases
Hahaha nice excuse! Will the C-levels still get their annual bonuses and increases?
How’s everyone doing out there ?
I hope you are safe, healthy and with your loved ones. Hopefully you are not cowering behind a mountain of toilet roll and baked beans whilst being fed the tales of Armageddon from the various news channels. But on a serious note, recent very... — read more
Company performed bad in a great market, how will it do in a bad market?
I'm wondering if the company could not turn around its sales performance in one of the best macro economic periods in decades, how are we going to turn it around in a downturn? Thoughts?
AS social media team, stay away
Funny how many posts there are that call employees disloyal, negative or out of touch on a website focusing on layoffs! Give me a break! The fact that the company spends money on this team that adds no value to this death spiral shows why the... — read more
Raises?
Typically take effect 4/1. Are they going to address the issue or just hope that everyone glosses over it?
This company just lies to its employees
If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. That is the truth. Employees are being misled so that management can hold on to competent employees before they run out of cash. Has anyone looked at how many people are leaving in the... — read more

Any word on rasies? Supposed to be in first check in April.
A self destructive mess

Career-k--ler place to work
If you get an interview at SunGard, ask this one question: what are my prospects for career advancement? Answer: zero. If you want to have a job for 6 to 12 months (tops) and then be sacked with no warning, then this is the place for you.
