In the current "Wortwechsel" he is towing the line. 1-2% seems okay for him. On the other hand he focuses on the importance of culture. "Growth culture" is, according to him, soooo important. Am I the only one who sees a certain amount of... — read more

This time my manager was laid off. That useless, d-mb weasel of a man managed to avoid every layoff so far and was even close to a promotion when this happened. I admit, I did a happy dance. That man made the lives of his entire team miserable on a... — read more

Or should we expect more cuts tomorrow?

There’s been a lot of talk, but nothing seems to be happening in my immediate surroundings - which isn’t really indicative of anything, really.

It was just announced that less than 30 colleagues are affected. Does anyone know the areas?

There’s a news article in India that talks about both SAP and Novo Nordisk cutting jobs. For Novo, the reason is likely because India approved Ozempic (semaglutide) for adults with type 2 diabetes. For SAP, it’s the 1-2% cut to get rid of the dental... — read more 

Any rumours on what this will entail? They're saying it's not a cost saving exercise, which I highly doubt.

The anxiety is affecting me already. I cannot sleep properly and worry all day about the future. When will it end?

Heard some folks are getting whacked starting tomorrow.

Hey CK, how do you like your bff Donald Trump now? Will you hire more consultants or shut down US consulting altogether? F@F0

How long do you think SAP can pull this scam on customers? Do employees look at RISE and think this is the future?

I work hard and my performance is really good. My peers and my manager agree on that. I don‘t do politics or engage in rumor-spreading. I trust the board and express this view publicly and in the Employee Survey. There is no reason SAP should let me... — read more 

@e1+1k4876rt2 So we want to shift out of the ERP Biz and eliminate any further support for the Maintenance Biz by 2027. Yes, that's right the Maintenance biz for which Siemens by itself pays +50MM per year - a huge amount of revenue will be... — read more
