Any ideas on what the voluntary early retirement packages will be in North AMerica?
+ In US, they aren't obligated ! The only reason even early retirement is offered is because they don't want damages from bad publicity ( SAP has US government as one of the biggest customer ) or a potential age-discrimination penalty suit !
Rest, everyone lives on a 2 week notice contract anyways .
@fam+1qKKGyEs Only in Germany. Per FAQ:
"This includes --but is not limited to -- early retirement in North America and an exclusive focus on early retirement and a voluntary program in Germany".
They don't want to offer voluntary in the rest of the world because it's likely to lead to a lot of roles they don't want to cut taking it. In Germany they're offering voluntary because it's impossible to lay anybody off involuntarily.
They already said they are doing this. Keep up.
