Thread regarding SAP layoffs

Tech industry is getting hammered across the board. Take a look at what Bill is doing - he knows something that the rest of us should know

Those of us who have been at SAP for many years, know that Bill always knew when to hold them and when to fold them, especially when it came to his own money. He was always one step ahead and never one to be left holding the bag.

Now ( a coincidental pun on words) Bill just put through a monster sale on his company stock. Why would he do this? Does he see another market collapse coming? His sell off was so significant that the news sent the stock down by almost 3% and his sale was reported across the entire market. He knows something and the rest of us better find out what it is real quick.

What should we take away from his "cashing out" on his stock holding? Is it just related to Service NOW or is something about to impact the broader market.....what is Bill telling us?

I say Bill sees a catastrophe coming .. and it won't be good for him ( or anybody else) and he's getting ready for it. We should be preparing for another RIF even more significant than what we have now.

Interesting that someone hasn't figured out how to drag and drop a file on an incident record yet knows everything else....

Bill leaves SAP to become head of SNow, and then SAP immediately became a customer of SNow, and forced its implementation across the board at huge cost, and it does NOTHING better than the old CSS "next generation" system.

SNow is trash software. It can't even handle simple things like attachments to tickets. It's a nightmare for SAP employees and makes our customers' experiences worse.

Clearly old one-eyed monster billy used his friends on the board to get a huge deal for SNow. Taking money out of the pocket of the company he left. I hope things go badly for him.

Bill could still inspire the workforce, sell wax statues in he-l, and articulated strategy (except product integration…) that could be cascaded down to L5 or L6.
The current group of limp-handshake, selfie posting, self-aggrandizing metrosexuals couldn’t hold a candle to Bill.

Would love to know what property he's buying for 25m - must be one he-l of a landmark!!

It's of course a defensive move because he sees a crash coming. The rumor that he's running for some office is years old, this must have started 6 or 7 years ago - not happening.

He's probably in his early 60's and wants to begin taking his nest egg off the table before we get another 2008 crash

I’m waiting for Elon to buying into SAP.

Tesla built their own ERP and he’s once again the richest human ever …

We can dream … layoffs on Monday.

He is building his cash reserve for long rumored political entry.

Ignore reports about buying property or similar.
