Where are the Dev/Software Engineer positions?
Mostly sales and partner positions are opening at SAP US. Is it time for technical folks to jump ship?
Marketing anyone????
So this will be "officially" Julia White's last week with SAP ( although I am sure she has been long gone since the announcement). Suffice to say Marketing has been left in a complete shambles. But where do we go from here? OK, we merge Product... — read more
SAP all-time high
Great article: https://e3mag.com/en/sap-all-time-high/
Do SAP ever give you a payrise to stay?
I've never heard of this happening. It seems that if you get a better offer from another company, SAP will never try to convince you to stay with them.
Scott and Julia both fired - what does it really mean?
This is such a massive development. What is going on inside of SAP? I can't believe two executive board members were fired at the same time. Please share the "dirty laundry" if you have it. I really thought things were going great at SAP, then... — read more

Did we figure out the total number of people to be laid off?
I mean beyond those 7%? There was talk about additional numbers, thousand people or possibly more. Is there any new information?
SAP already lost the race
Very many companies rise (pun intended) and then face an inevitable decline if they cannot innovate to meet the challenges of tomorrow. SAP will not be able to create the next generation of solutions, and the leaders are well aware, so the next 3-5... — read more

Future layoffs
I agree with the previous poster that we can expect cuts and layoffs to become a new normal, both due to bad choices over years/mgmt shortsightedness and failures, and increasing consideration of short-term shareholders interests against long-term... — read more
