I feel like it’s April 2nd . Anyone has info on it yet?

For example, if you are laid off in April, will you get a 4 month pro rated bonus?

Anyone else find the timing ridiculous? We’re supposed to enter our goals for this year by end of March only to potentially get laid off a week later? Why not postpone the goal setting until after the layoffs?

Julia White has persuaded SAP's HR team to defer the planned unfiltered employee survey from April to June 2024, as an April survey would clash with a sweep of layoffs. More North Korea type tactics by the head of marketing.

Is Canada safer than the US due to government regulations?

We know it is going to be April, but will it be earlier in the month, later or staggered? Last year was the first time that I’ve seen layoffs at SAP and am curious as to when they’ll actually do it next month.

Hello, Anyone know the numbers in Spain?

Curious if anyone remembers which teams were impacted last yr.

Yes. The calls from HR will be starting in the next few weeks. They usually setup a 3 way call with a Manager and HR rep. HR explains the severance, Cobra and option to find another role by end of April. Most team leads are discouraged by HR to find... — read more

Any update on what is happing with UK&I redundancies? Last year was a mess. What sort of numbers are we looking at ? Should be less especially as we had layoffs last year ! ! All updates welcome .

I would expect NA ( and specifically US) to be the focal point for the layoffs. This is because the HC has grown significantly over the last 15 years as a result of all the acquisitions SAP has made which have been almost entirely in this... — read more
