AS MVD could use some cleaning

AS, most specifically SabreSonic could use some cleaning at MVD. Manager AD and director MT are about the most poor desicion making and unprofessional managers ever seen. You get "The office" vibes when on meetings with them. Hopefully the affected... — read more

No vision

Sabre still doesn't have a vision. Menke has been in office for close to 8 months and still hasn't described where the company should be going. One has to question if he knows. If you look at his history, it's all been 'managing the widgets' not... — read more

Too late for Sabre

It's too late for Sabre now. What the company needs is Surgery. What it has been getting is bad external hires and band- aid for years. Take the example of outages and the P&T leadership. Cuts are almost sure to happen now. However while that will... — read more

People @ Sabre Forget Quickly

It is simply amazing how quickly a laid off person becomes nonexistent. Your old Sabre friends will not contact you to see how you are doing. Sad! None of your so-called friends and coworkers will mention your name. A manager in my group joked about... — read more
