Thread regarding Sabre Holdings layoffs

@6c1 yeah Indians promoting Indians

@67a It almost has to be from people moving up to fill positions vacated by the previously eliminated employees.

Alot of Linkedin Promotion announcements in the last week. Is this from the newly open positions or is 1S making a turnaround and finally rewarding the workers who are making a difference??

@OP The subcontinent virus has almost ki-led the host...

The journey to AI is almost complete...all Indian

@57n What's the source of this information?

@55b Maybe a permanent fully remote workforce with HDQ closed with no lease on new facilities is a big possibility. Layoffs will become easier for management that has become all to good at it.

8% more will be cut before eoy

@54c You are one the lucky ones this cut, a lot of LinkedIn messages today announcing their last Day. It’s only a matter of time before you get to feel what’s it’s like to be told hand over your badge..

Looks like we live to play another day.

Where do you see that mini wave?

All is great, sabre is enhancing itself, like a well polished autonomous machine. It's all for the better good, sabre is like Amazon, great and awesome.

Seeing another mini wave today

I know of at least 1 team member in Australia who was impacted- the team member was notified on Sept 30th and last day of work is also Sept 30th.

I think it's all a bait

soooo anything happen?

Sar, Sar, we have taken over your company. I am standing beside myself with excitement as soon the subcontinents will rule over all!

Any updates?

They will have another layoff, that’s for certain. After my team was laid off they posted an equal number of jobs for the same thing in BLR. Disgraceful. Congratulations to the leadership team. You’ve done what you were clearly hired to do… drive down value, run off customers, and gut the company. Way to go. You’ve all rockstars.

As guaranteed as the sunrise tomorrow, Sabre will have another layoff soon.

Sep 30 is next week. We'll know if this is spoof next Wednesday.

Do we know something new?

@3kp lol. All their talent either left, or got let go. How ironic.

How did people fare on Wednesday? Were there layoffs?

It's coming. Not as big as February, but still impactful. Managers with impacted employees will have a meeting on Monday with instructions to notify their employees on Wednesday.

@3kp Have to blame someone (hence need for new VP of Talent) for Hiring the wrong people that now need terminating..

Potential layoffs while a week ago Sabre posted a VP of Talent position?

@317 I heard of some layoffs already, but not sure if anything more official will come at the end of the month

Has anyone going to be impacted been notified? I see some new ‘Open to Work’ in LinkedIn.

Sabre has long used regular layoffs at quarter transitions to "game" the numbers of cost savings etc for investors, a lazy approach instead of managing an organization well and being truly profitable IMO.

@OP ...Sept 30th? it's believable. The last severance check for those laid-off back in February gets sent this week (for the ones that got 6 months). I guess Sabre is going to use that extra cash for another round of severance payments. Good luck everyone!

It looks like Brazil is ramping up now. It looks like Somalia and the Sabre Learing Center are not far fetched.

Makes sense. There is additional cost savings by doing it before the merit increase.

@f6 They couldn't get it together well before Covid hit.

@mc where can Sabre find cheap people next? I hear Papua New Guinea is cheap. Or maybe Somalia, it's cheap and centrally located.

Yeah… make no mistake… KRK is the new high-cost center and BLR is the de facto HDQ.

This is really sad. I gave 7 years to Sabre as a Manager with a great team at the time. COVID hit hard and they just can't seem to get it together.

is this HQ or company wide??

And BLR becomes HDQ...oh wait that happened 10 years ago...
