"Underperformers" will be eliminated. They will be determined using the new performance-based grading criteria developed by HR. Employees with at least ten years of experience at SAP will be given preference and retained. Colleagues who have joined within the last five years and are not based in Walldorf or Sankt Leon Rot may say their goodbyes. This will start with recent acquisitions such as Signavio, Lean IX, and Walkme, where we replaced the majority of the management with long-term SAP employees. The first step has already begun. The Works Council approved keeping non-technical managers as development managers while changing the reporting lines of designers, product owners, and engineers to prevent growth. It is expected that the majority will leave on their own. If they do not, their managers will be asked to give them a poor performance rating. More information about reorganizations will be released in the first week of May, when management will expand on what was previously disclosed with SAP's Q1 results. Concur and other LOBs will follow after Signavio. If you are a product owner, developer, or designer who joined through an acquisition and now your or their manager is a long-term SAP employee based in Walldorf or Sankt Leon Rot, you should start looking for work immediately!

LinkedIn is getting so cringy with all these training certificates! So you sat through a few videos and took a quiz with unlimited retries. Hahahahhahahahha!!! I can barely use LinkedIn now.
P25 is coming, they’ll just get better at branding it.
I will never understand why anyone would spam LinkedIn with internet training certs. It is just beyond me.
I work in Signavio and can confirm that every People Lead at Signavio either is a technical development manager or has worked as a technical development manager since the acquisition. Anyone who disagrees is just a disgruntled employee spreading lies.
Time to also finally get rid of all the DEI fluff on both sides of the pond
Our customers don't care.
When will customer feedback on individual and team performance be more important than Germany-contrived, pschometrics-saturated certification exams and LinkedIn badges??
Never, because SAP loves their branding, that is how they make money! The best story tellers in the world. Aside from Apple and they like to complicate things and we are left working in circles dealing with change management.

The “strategy” to spam LinkedIn with useless certs is really annoying. Enough with the AEs patting themselves on the back for their “positioning the business suite” certs.
Why would they retain long-timers? They are wayyyyy more expensive and have likely been promoted into higher-paying but IC roles. VPs that don't have much span of control, for example.

This sounds like the rumour mill at its best or just the opinion of someone. Fear mongering some may say. Sorry but I don’t believe it.
