They announced that working from home is no longer allowed in TN in Southlake, except for personal illness, ill family member, or home maintenance. Having a day each week to work from home was one of the few perks of working for Sabre. It saved a long commute, allowed for uninterrupted work, etc. We seem to go backwards with every GLS.

Here at MVD local laws do not allow to wfh. However, we are obliged to bring our PCs home every single day in case of whether alerts or disasters...so I don't understand what's the policy behind.
I work in Southlake. I work with home based employees and people who occasionally wfh. I never notice any difference, IMs get answered, email is answered, meetings take place, etc. If someone wants to wfh or be home based, then let them. This is 2019. If you think an employee is working just because they are in the office or goofing off because they are wfh, you are sadly mistaken.
I was home based with Sabre for 25 years. Never had any complaints from customers or co-workers with my job performance. Like all of you, the computer never shut down and you responded to your customer needs. All calls were done via WebX with both external customers and internal customers.
My co-workers all worked out of state and were home based.
In the office I had a temporary cube with no phone and no privacy. If I needed to do a demo, or have a conference call, I had to find a phone booth for privacy.
After doing this for a year, I got fed up with it and started looking for a new job. I have left Sabre with a new company that values older employees and trusts them.
I am home based again which is really great
My suggestion to all of you is to start looking outside of Sabre, lots of companies are hiring and the pay is much better than Sabre
Screw S.Putin
What difference does it make if we work from home? Most meetings have to be on WebEx anyway for the people in other countries.
They don't trust their employees. As simple as that. If F2F collaboration isn't necessary then WFH should be okay.
I work from home twice a week. I start earlier since I have no commute, I work through lunch, I work later again since I don't have to commute. My team does the same thing. None of us have had a reason to believe we aren't all working. Meanwhile at the office, people who have their screens turned to be private, I see on Facebook and shopping sites more often than not.
Work from home=150% more productive. If people cannot be trusted to work, identify and fire those people. It is simple. Welcome to 2019.
I know many teams in sabre who have Tuesday’s and Thursday’s as work from home. And we all know what work from home means.
For a tech company they have to improve in a lot of areas
They read some C level of GE or Yahoo thought it was a bad thing in CIO magazine?
So this is how we start the year of new culture at Sabre?
