Financials were BAD meanwhile Amadeus was great. Travelport lurking
It keeps getting deeper. Sabre sc-aping by while Amadeus is making double digit profits. Amadeus taking customers on the air side. American is next, mark my words. Travelport digging in deep for GDS/Distribution. What has happened?
Good experienced people once again let go
Last layoff was once again majority older folks and they were not 'dead wood'. Good experienced people were once again let go. Layoff was due to a loss suffered by Sabre yet those let go had nothing to do with the loss. 'We want people lining up a... — read more
Sabre Crashing Soon
Sabre pull your head out of your a–. Short term profit for long term loss. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-737-max-software-outsourced-to-9-an-hour-engineers
Sabre... Really? TPM/BA to a different org?
For so long time there was feedback that it is a bad idea to have a separate org for QAs/Testers. In some places it was even fixed - by merging devs and QAs into one org. But now - another split for the TPMs? Are the leaders deaf? Or - looking at... — read more

Sh--ty company?
I'm on a dev conference now and I talk to people from different companies. And even they say that Sabre is a sh--y company driven by chaos and politics. Without any 'culture'... How come SM claims that culture is one of our greatest assets? Does it... — read more
Trust
How many times have we heard the head of HR say this is a company that wants to hire great people, develop them and keep them until the day they retire? How many times did we hear this is the year of the people? How do you expect to create trust when... — read more
Security department
Layoffs are happening in the security department today. The VP has been let go, he's leaving 8/1. Staff is being clobbered today. Not a big team though.
Layoffs today?

June
with all the earlier rumors about June headcount reductions and then nothing. Do people make this stuff up?
Windows 10 disaster
How is the move from Windows 7 to 10 going? Windows 10 is more or less ok on my home PC but the lockdown garbage that Sabre has done to it makes it just unusable. The cloud sync to OneSlowDrive would make a new i9 5ghz on all 8 cores feel like an... — read more
It's About Time
June is looming. Are there indications this big June layoff is coming?
What's up with the stock price?
Nothing but good news in the SED and the earnings call yet it keeps diving? Are the outages that bad?
New Era Of HR
My take, unimpressive, a lot of VPs that think they are VIPs. Can we put some of their headcount into areas that need it and not into people who just want to hear themselves talk? It’s painfully embarrassing how unaware they are of the real issues.
Rewards should be merit based
Speaking of compensation, why are randomly picked people getting free vacations? How does that encourage anything beneficial for Sabre? Shouldn't rewards be merit-based? Shouldn't we reward something that was purposely done that should be encouraged?... — read more
Nobody wants to stay here long-term
Has anybody else notice Sabre has become the kind of company that new people only use as a stepping stone until they can secure a better job somewhere else? Nobody is interested in staying here longer than they have to. First chance and they're out... — read more
Sabre doesn't value it's employees in the same way because 95% of us can be replaced without consequence to the organization
We SIGNIFICANTLY exceeded the EPS and revenue goals set for 2018 and should have had VCP funding over 100%. However in the end of the year, Q3, they "adjusted" the guidance, then used that as the baseline for VCP. So it was only funded at 100% even... — read more
If you are wondering where your VCP or merit raise went...

Promotion but Pay Increase Later?

Keep most of the managerial positions in Dfw
It would be better to keep most of the managerial positions at DFW . This would help to operate the company better
QA - decentralization not going to help the company much
QA/testing team decentralization is not going to help the company much .IT was not that successful in the past.Hence company had moved to centralized model . What is the point now again moving back to decentralized model
dont target only contribuitors and senior developers While doing Layoff's
we see especially majority of the times only contribuitor and senior developers are getting axed . This is not correct . why not tech leads, principals and above .
well that was bull
