Too many managers with too few to manage

We have too many layers of Directors, Manager, and Supervisors. Many just have 3 to 8 people working for them. Cut out some of these middle men. There is no reason you can't manage 20 people under you. All the tedious activities like sick time and... — 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

Layoffs to come fast and furious especially Delivery

It's coming. If your manager has not spoken to you much, or has been extra nitpicky, beware. You'll have the "low" scores and be out the door. BA's, product specialists, Testing, it's all going to be cut by at least half.
