Sabre's technical inadequacy
The truth is, a fair share of this "downturn" is Sabre's inadequacy, especially in the tech industry. We've blew $x,000,000 for our transformation only to say "let's start over". As a company we can't stick to a decision for longer than it takes to... — read more
Stock price

Can anyone explain to me why Amadeus is trading at around 43$ and we are at 8% ?
Someone reads these
The HR "leader" quit. Maybe this forum had something to do with it? Maybe she didn't want to be involved in the mass-layoffs we all know are on the way.
Merit Ratings
Given that this year a merit increase is highly unlikely, why not give the employee the rating that he or she has earned, and ignore the famous bell curve for once? The company loses nothing and it wont cost a dime.
Another year of this
Another year that I have to downgrade my employees from outstanding to successful because my VP and SVP want everyone to be no higher than successful since it will be harder to justify laying them off or having to give them more VCP, which they... — read more
55% VCP funding
While I appreciate any bonus it feels to me as if 55% VCP funding in a year where we did more to advance this company shows me the year of the people was totally false. Isnt 55% the lowest level of funding ever?
COVID19 / Sabre

and off we go.
What a crazy environment where everyone tries to scare everyone else into quitting so that the person doing the scaring wont get laid off. What an insane place ! How are people supposed to focus with all this crud going on ? Seriously "leaders". Step... — read more
On Sabre's Culture

IX to Iceland/Poland
IX is being sent off to Iceland/Poland was this not the flagship of AS last year for a game changer cloud solution? 2020, the year of the cheapest people and culture available.
HR leadership?
Why does CEO tolerate an overpaid and incompetent HR leadership who is disrespectful and demeaning towards their staff? 3 from failing dairy company Dean Foods (CHRO, SVP and Sr Dir) - 2 from failing retailer Michaels (VP and Sr Dir) - 2 from failing... — read more

Rumors? Buyout/merger with Accenture?
Hearing sadly from outside Sabre about talks of possibly rebadging of some sabre employees with maintenance only products to Accenture.. anyone heard of it or know which products involved?

Court Ruling Revives a US Airways Antitrust Case Against Sabre
Guess Sabre should have kept those legal department assets?
AS Town Hall Today
What a sh–show that was. Our execs are very proud of their progress in nothing but buzzwords. Pushing the offshore agenda is their only eay of saving the company money. Board, wake up.
Any news on layoffs?
Has there been any mention of more future layoffs that I might have missed?
