For those readers who are still emplyed at Sabre, how is the morale around your areas?
Here in Southlake, this latest round of hits have really hit employees hard. Not to take anything away from the trauma that those who were let go must be feeling, but what the executives have left behind is another cause for concern.
Having been through numerous cycles of layoffs at Sabre over the past 15 years, you come to expect a certain level of anxiety and questioning of management as a reaction, but this time we're noticing something definitely different. There is a general disgust settling in towards all upper management and a feeling that Sabre will not be able to turn the corner this time and move forward. Not that it will be going out of business or sold off or anything like that in the nearterm, but that the future will be one of retreatment within sectors of the industry followed soon by a large exodus of talented people voluntarily leaving the company to look for a more positive and stable employment scenario elsewhere.
Its a sad change in the overall environment to be witnessing.
