As someone that is involved in planning I can tell you US reductions will continue to continue. Cost cutting is the only value point “leadership” knows and values. These guys have never been good at sales or innovation, so they stick to what they know. If you are in a tech role or VP and down and in the US, you WILL be gone at some point. If you’re in non tech support roles, You’ll be cut as well. Less US staff, requires less US HR and most jobs can be done offshore and are cheaper offshore. Including procurement and basically any support group.
I realize now, those that have left already (either forced or voluntary). Really were the smartest people in the room. There’s no value to wasting future years of my life at a place that is ultimately going to stab me in the back at some point. I want to make a difference in this vertical. I want to make change and inspire the market in new veins of innovative solutions. Unfortunately the marrow of life has been s—ed out of Sabre, and it’s not the little guys fault.
SM. When you are so concerned with costs that you’re CIO takes a cheap uber, or you fail to keep your teams trained and inspired to innovate for you, or you don't encourage the teams below the vp level to visit each other in their diverse locations. You’ll even take money and repurchase stock instead of investing in your own people. You are great at cost control, but you are very weak in aspects that make a true world class company. Such small visions at Sabre, c-level - VP level.
