Severance @ Sabre
not sure if this was asked before, but do you know what a typical severance package at Sabre is?
Recent Cuts
SVPs Harish Mysore (Strategy) and SVP Jamie Patel (ASD) were asked to leave. Mysore in early Aug and Patel on Aug 28th. Both given a hefty severance package
Lay offs continue!
So lay offs are over? Not as far as I heard. Last lay off was early May. Senior staff! Then they have the nerve to spend thousands on anniversary parties. Very sad indeed. Tap talent almost all gone.
Protect US citizen jobs

Sabre: Managers cannot be used as a reference.
I have found out that Sabre has sent out specific instructions to all the managers of laid off employees, that they are not allowed to give a reference for the employee even if they would really like to. How do you like them apples?

Any news on VIP for those laid off in jan/feb?
March 12th.
Have anyone heard anything? It was mentioned in other posts that today something will happen.
Stupid rumours? ?
All of the so called stupid rumours have in fact been real facts! Where do they come from? Leaked from the top of course. From managers and directors.
KRK nothing happened today!
So please no more stupid rumors. Planned cuts are over for now. There might be few layoffs here and there but nothing out of ordinary. I've been with the company for 5 years and many times I've seen people lfired. Nobody went panic because of them... — read more

KRK: BA gone last week
Our BA was laid off last week in KRK (TND).
Severance Check
Your severance check should be more than your normal pay check, because there are no deductions for medical, dental life, vision or 401K.
Severance is about $200 less than normal.
What I meant was that my severance pay was a couple of hundred dollars less than my normal pay. Was wondering why it would be.
Severance?
I received my first severance pay today, which I thought was supposed to be for a period of 2 weeks like my normal pay. (I'm eligible for several weeks.) Anybody know of a reason it would be less?
Lay offs not over whatever your team lead or management say!
From the very same leader who said not to worry I receive the call a month later!
where is "nope-it-all" now?
guess your info wasn't correct , unfortunately.....
Technology should be safe for now- at least in KRK
Technology should be safe for now- at least in KRK. A few reasons for that: Most of the teams have heard from their group leaders layoffs were over for their group. They wouldn't have said that, had it been the other way New job postings have... — read more
Further layoffs
It makes sense to let employees go in phases to circumvent various regulations connected to group layoffs. Moreover, the execs may want to see how many people leave on their own (without receiveing a severance) before making any further decisions.
No more
There will be no more layoffs in technology. Why would they do it in phases? People will tell you anything to get your attention, do no believe everything you hear.
Cracow Layoffs
I heard rumors today, that additional 100 employees will be friend in Cracow in March. can anybody confirm it?
Numbers
I saw over 800 were fired and a few more planned in March.
Lay off numbers?
Does anyone know just how many people were laid off in January? I was pretty well cut off immediately, but I talked to one co-worker who told me nothing was communicated internally about people whose jobs were eliminated.
AGR
I'm particularly amused by "Employee agrees that Employee will not criticize, denigrate or disparage the Released Parties or their products and services, either orally or in writing." Not a chance. If I have a paying job in the next week or two, I'm... — read more
