There were more layoffs yesterday and I'm assuming this week is not done (although I might be wrong.) This round wasn't in the U.S. but that doesn't mean anything these days - I wouldn't be surprised if it spilled over here once again. I'm... — read more 

The company who invented Disaster Recovery may have new executive leadership and investors, but it's long-term prospects for keeping the lights on are grim. Everyone is being sold on a "Cloud Connected Highly Available Infrastructure" pitch. But... — read more 

Once upon time, people loved Sungard AS for the amazing and talented people who enjoyed working there. That fact alone was a big (huge) driver of both new and existing business. Along the way, Sungard AS invested (million$) in all the wrong products... — read more 

Quick question to the team, or to anyone who might hired a lawyer…. Doesn't SungardAS have to give 60 days notice by labor law (WARN) to all employees being laid off? I am not sure why this is not discussed among people who got laid off as no one... — read more 

How is this viable and cost effective. Let's throw 40 people worldwide wide at a test, instead of having multiply IR tests running. Do the LT know the figures behind how bad MRP is.

Unless SunGard availability services stops outsourcing nothing will change we will not get new customers. I listen to customers all day the fact that they can't get anybody on the service desk to talk to them you can't even email the service desk... — read more 

This company is going down and the Executive are basically milking the hell out of it. Bunch of thieves and no real respect from clients. The funny thing is all clients know how this company is sinking and the sales folks still required to sell!!... — read more 

That’s where anyone still at SGAS is. I understand why the execs stay, we see what happened for the Sears and ToysRUs execs. But you... Yes you. I’m talking to you. Why are you still there? Get on that lifeboat and paddle the hell away!

Nobody is forcing anyone to stay employed there. The state of layoffs isn’t new, it might be hitting departments or geographies that it didn’t before - but nobody that has worked there more than a year or two should be shocked that it happens. If you... — read more 

This is getting really tiring. Once again we find out about layoffs and once again we are forced to wait for days (weeks) to find out any more details. The latest news is we'll know more by the end of this week, but I'm not willing to bet on it... — read more 

Let's consolidated all we know about Sungard Availability Services Layoffs 2020 in this thread.

Tell us about the positive outlook

I never understood why management would not be honest about the ominous situation at AS. Everyone was aware that the company was broken, but there was never the leadership driven urgency of fixing things now or never. It is as if management feared... — read more 

Going into the holiday season knowing there will be layoffs shortly thereafter Sungard will never change

Free Lunch!

Nearly half the company hasn't completed a self assessment. What does that tell you about the morale around here? Are we expecting a salary freeze next year and the performance review makes no difference????

Leadership team got us to this point. why are they still here?

Hearing of layoffs

Anyone bother reading the sneaky Vanguard email that was sent on Thanksgiving day...... right when it would sail right under the radar of 98% of US employees?!?!?!?!

I wish this was true but I don't want to get too excited just yet. Can anybody confirm this?

Will they call ppl on thanksgiving or Christmas this year?

My position is one of value!! I listen to our customers to understand their perspective. I then coordinate with internal resources to resolve their issue and overcome the challenge. Understand that this job is not done however until I confirm that... — read more 

Where is OPG? .... Did he get laid off? Not sure if those are just stupid questions or just wishful thinking. People of a negative mindset often default to wishing hardship on others while assuming others are of the same entitled negative... — read more 

Hasn’t been around ... was probably someone on the LT who got the boot

People are very nervous about this assessment. Having an external firm come in to assess jobs and productivity is not a good thing in a Chapter 11 company. I am all for positivism, but a little realism in the mix doesn't hurt. These people are going... — read more 

If you were thinking we were done, think again. I'm not sure if it will happen before the end of the year, but I'm positive more layoffs are coming. And I'm not talking a few people here and there, I think we are looking at another major... — read more 

Is CCL BIPS mature enough to be successful at a scale SunGard wants it to function. I keep hearing that it's not.

The momentum is infectious. New customers are signing, Customers are renewing and Projects are completing on time!!! The future is bright

We’ll see in 3 months...

Things seem to be looking up all around. Even office morale has improved significantly in the past month or so. Does this mean we can finally relax and fully devote ourselves to doing our jobs without a threat of layoffs hanging over our heads?... — read more 

Given that every facility and group in the US has been totally gutted ... I’m going to have to say no Customers definitely no longer think so

OK, closing another month after filing and guess what... we are all still here. For those of you waiting for some big massive budget cut, focus on something more productive. Sure we will continue to see some churn among our teams. Truth be... — read more 

Aside from OPG? I’m guessing the vultures are still looking to strike

What a joke of a post

what was that?

The annoucement of his termination said 'We need to get closer to our customers' .... not exactly a compliment to the former EVP of Sales on his way out ... ouch! He claimed he had a 'turn around' strategy, RH didn't realized AGB was talking about... — read more
