Guys, you have to understand that layoffs in Germany is more or less not possible unless a company is close to bankruptcy. Thats the reason why in Germany it is based on volunteers. If Germany would have not such laws in place, SAP would definitely act in Germany like in other countries with no employee protecting laws.

Shanghai labs also affected, around 20% of ERP fin development team lay-off
Germany and Europe layoff plans will be announced only in early April. The reason behind is that there are still negotiations with the trade unions which are traditionally very strong in Germany.
Australia hit entire Success Factor Support and Innovation Center laid off. Sales and Presales had an impact. DBS had less impact because they had a big impact in mid 2017. It's shocking the way the layoffs have been handled with absolute lack of sensitivity ridiculous
Over 50 Employees belonging to Success Factors in the Bangalore branch have been fired. Many of us have literally seen some of those employees crying. This is heart breaking. NOT GOOD, SAP!

How many employees are based in the US and in Silicon Valley?
I wish SAP make public country wise layoff data to meet the target of 4400. So far I see mass layoffs in US only. I don't think there is any layoff in Germany, maybe just voluntary retirements. No more a global company?
Bay area was hit yesterday; around 200 employees mainly from San Ramon. All were part of cloud technology.

Canada got hit today as well.
We had been working on cloud foundry for over a year, and SAP couldn't sign one single customer that whole time. Nobody is drinking their kool-aid.
SAP is focusing on Cloud. Just the saas layer. Our Cloud Platform is not flying
Entire cloud platform development team in Atlanta was laid off today. SAP is throwing the towel trying to stay relevant in the cloud.
