The layoff is happening for sure on July 31st. Rooms have been booked and also managers with teams being impacted have the list of people with the names. I have the list for my team as a Director at Southlake. That being said, I could be on the list... — read more
Leaders assured that we are safe
In SSPD many generous leaders assured their team that we are not gonna affect this time. May be because we have been already hit in January and now have minimal people in every team. But in this situation we cannot be very sure. You never know what... — read more
Do not sign off any HR doc in MVD
To all Mvd, if you are laid off the next 31, do not sign off any document from HR. Stand firm and ask for a copy of that doc saying you want to check first with your lawyer and the labor office, it is part of your labor rights. Seems HR is trying to... — read more

Boeing buying Sabre?
There are rumours that boeing is buying Sabre, the reason there is a house clean up going on. Anyone heard of this deal?
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
RIF on 7/31 confirmed, but here are 6 takeaways...
There is life outside of Sabre. Sabre is not what it used to be, so take it as an opportunity to find something good. As brutal as this sounds, if you're on the list on 7/31...blame yourself. You had the chance for the last 3 years to find something... — read more
We are all going to boycott Menke's all hands on Thursday

Annual pay hike this year?
Heard some rumors that there will be no annual pay hike this year? Is that true? What time do they usually let people know about it?
The Party is Over!!
Gone are my days of coming in at 1030a to leave by 3... "WFH" Friday's... And my daily 2 hour lunch. Poor me; it lasted nearly as long as my child's entire education but now the party is over. Better go get this funky smell and burning pee checked at... — read more
Any Good Leaders Warning their People?
Are any of your Leaders being honest about the upcoming Layoff and warning you to be ready just in case? Or are they all telling you that everything is OK? Or not saying single word? I find it funny that we get an email from JS the SVP Product... — read more

Layoffs are scheduled around the globe for July 31, 2017. The day after, August 1, 2017; is the "Sabre Q2 2017 Earnings Conference Call" - All make sense, isn´t? (http://investors.sabre.com/eventdetail.cfm?EventID=183892).
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
PSD apps sold to Boeing?
I've heared that the apps supported by PSD were sold to Boeing. Anyone else heared the same?

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
Sabre Stock
Sabre stock is down around 12% Year to Date and around 24% in the last year. Why is the stock down 24% in the last year if things are going on fine ? ( That's the message I got from the CEO townhall meetings) Who is impacted the most due to... — read more
27% of entire company?
The 27% layoff cannot be 27% of the entire company because that is like 2300 people. If that layoff is most for ( like14%) expensive DFW people then that would mean to be lay off about half the entire of DFW peoples. If that is plan then it is game... — read more
Have you been laid off?
Some employees have already been let go. If you have been, what kind of terms were given? How was it done?
The List?
So is there a real list?
Can we work on expanding our reach?
Sabre has very sophisticated algorithms for scheduling/pricing/ticketing/catering.... that could be applied to alot more industries that just the airline/travel industry. I hope they can survive and apply their skills to other problem domains... — read more
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you get laid off change is coming and it could possibly be a good change.
I used to work at Sabre and like many who have been laid off it caught me off guard and it was very cold and impersonal. I was devastated and angry at my situation. I had to take a week to just let it go before I started my job hunt and move forward... — 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

Total failure from the top down
I left Sabre in April and will never look back. Concepts (can't call them products) developed for YEARS before actually being released. Lack of process. Lack of accountability. Lack of integrity and serious ethic concerns. I heard rumors of a major... — 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
