It's sad, creepy, and a lot of fear too... There is also a lot of butt kissing right now...
@Layoffs at Sabre
I totally disagree with your comment that says "If we had hired people with the skills needed in the first place with Sabre knowledge we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place." Most of these people are smart and hard-working with plenty of... — read more
Looking at the profile here
It says 3 billion in revenue and 9,000 employees, I thought we were bigger than that?
MVD atmosphere, sad, weird, creepy, and a lot of fear...
Hi guys, I'm an employee at AS in MVD, I've been in the company for a couple of years, and I've been lucky (or not) to haven't been "let go" yet. I just wanted to let you know how's the atmosphere in Zonamerica/Aguada. People are simply sad, very... — read more
Stop being a superstar employee
With all that is going on, nobody is safe here, so what's the point of putting in any extra effort as an employee. We should just do the bare minimum, work your 8 hour day, take lunch break, and not work after hours and weekends anymore. Show that we... — read more

Did you find work? Are you happier now. Best!
Laid off in August 2013
I was laid off in August and it was a total shock. My manager was really unprofessional - just called me and delivered the news in his normal unprofessional manner and told me to take the rest of the week off. He thought it would make me feel better... — read more
Start our own Company
We would have a great company if all of us that got laid off started our own Travel Software Company! At least it would be run much better!
Should somebody let know Amadeus... :)
Should somebody let know Amadeus that there is a potential to takeover highly qualified and knowledgable workforce in few locations? :) I bet they can set a whole new office in KRK/DFW/MVD/BLR in like one day based on people that were lay off from... — read more
Don't Quit!
If you are a Full Time Employee in US - don't quit! Wait until you are laid off so you can get unemployment. You won't have to wait long with how it's been going.
WARN not required for SABRE
Travelocity is in the midst of something like 80% reduction in force and is covered by the WARN act which explains the 60 day notice period. SABRE layoffs seems to be broken up enough that they don't qualify, since so many people are in other... — read more
The Circle of Success
If you take care of your people, they will take care of the company and the company will take care of the investors. It's a circle. If you take care of the investors first - it always move the company in a downward spiral.
Senior VP's laid off?
As far as I'm concerned all the Sr. VP's should have been laid off. I agree they are the ones responsible.
Layoffs at Sabre
I feel so disheartened about what the VP's have done to Sabre with the last 3 layoffs. This doesn't help the company, the employees nor the ones who were laid off. Were any of the Sr VP's that created this blood bath laid off? After all, aren't they... — read more
They don't care
Upper mgt doesn't care...they will get richer when the company goes public...power to the people! F the man...or in this case, the WOman!
Sabre-OFF!!!!
Today I heard of two hard working employees layed off yesterday, they obviously dont give a f-ck about us, and they will continue firing people until they reach the profit they want. We are nothing but numbers to them. Zonamerica's office has been so... — read more
Miss Trust of Upper Management
Why do the Sr. VP's think we believe anything they say after what they have created and demolished?
Sam?
Isn't Sam still on the board of directors? I'm sure he's part of the group behind this.

BRING BACK SAM. An honest man. The current CEO is most cunning and dishonest person. He acted up while taking over from Sam.
Now he is showing his true colors.
@Albion, did you not read my post?
I did tell my story at the end and that sums up all I know for sure. The friend (from some other department) that had warned me the day before that cuts might be coming also was a target. I was the first one that I know of in my department that was... — read more
Outside HDQ/KRK/BLR, at risk...
According to several posters below, only HDQ/KRK and possibly BLR are safe. Considering the vacancies in the premises in both Aguada Park and Zonamerica, it is natural to believe that an inminent first step is to close down Aguada and move everything... — read more

If you cannot open the (anon) file that somebody posted below here is a summary of what he said (I am paraphrasing it a bit): Additional context as for the events that took place over last few days. Background: few months ago, late summer, we had... — read more
laid off in dfw
Am a sr. Mgr and Was laid off yesterday after 19 years. I have heard that they will lay off 15-20% total before they are done
@Anonymous2420 - why don't you take a stab
@Anonymous2420 instead of preaching, why don't you take a stab and summarize for us what you know. Many of us already posted things here. I do not want to aggravate anyone but it seems to me that posting info would be a better way to go. Also, I am... — read more
ANON File question
Can't get the file to play. What does it say?
Closure of non-HDQ, KRK locations ?
Consolidation of the firm going going forward and before going public may definitely implicate closure of various locations around the globe. At the time of writing, only HDQ/KRK look secure, all other locations at risk.
Layoffs Montevideo
Hi guys, just to let you know that the axe has fallen again in MVD between yesterday and today, for a second time in a row, although this time it didn't hit as hard as on December 10 (70 employees "taken care of")... TN had been hit, this time it has... — read more
If anyone knows any current or laid off Sabre employees, please share this link with them and ask them to tell their story or just provide info.
We are all itching to understand more about what is going on. If they are current, maybe they can tell us how many were laid off in their department. If they lost managers, directors, VPs, etc. Are there more layoffs today? I originally heard that... — read more
