Thread regarding Sabre Holdings layoffs

@189 Why are we fighting among ourselves. Why this division of American vs Indian vs Polish, when all the hardworking people in all the continents are suffering because of the self preservation mind set of the old farts in architecture team and the C suite, who cannot get rid of the parasitic old farts, who is su-king every last bit of blood from this organization. Ask a simple question to oneself. What I am working on in now - Do I have a meaningful business KPIs which I am supporting?. Can KPIs pragmatically drive market share, revenue or reduce the cost of operations or am I working on some thing the SVP of labs - Mr. all talk but no substance Mr. SN and his team of old architects design and advised. Is this a moon shot idea which may bring in revenue in 5 years or fail like many of the projects. Ask this simple question on what realistic business kpis does my work influence. Post here what you think. If we realize that majority are working on vague KPIs and moonshot projects, there lies the answer. Ask your architect, how this would help with current situation. See if they have any inclining to business success ?.

@136 Subcontinent cow cr ap eater says what?

And that, ladies and gentleman, is a perfect example of why Sabre will probably declare bankruptcy in 2026. Well performing LOL

@13m The point was that Sabre's mistake is not to lay off people needed for human support. The mistake is that it is needed or needed to that extent. Considering revenue and overall success, it should have little to zero factor "how good it is" . Well-performing companies use AI and not an army old farts. In terms of the pizza - yeah you can find a $30 in Poland too - but the point made was that it is not cheap like N times. The gap is much smaller. Poland is no longer a 3rd world country. Educate yourself Muricans.

@136 how much does a pizza cost in DFW? It depends. Between $3 and $30. Take your pick.

@136 LOL. Well now I understand why I have to get on calls to solve Sabre's customers' problems even when the problems have nothing to do with my products. I wonder how well Sabre will do in 2026 when the people who solve customers' problems get laid off and Sabre loses all its customers. I guess tech companies don't need customers LOL. DMB55.

You Muricans are delusional.

1. Tech companies are not about solving customer problems. At best all is automated and there is no human support.
2. "Cheap countries". In Poland a pizza costs ~$11. Is it cheap? There is some gap still, but it is not even close that what it used to be say 10 years ago. Google Polish economy and educate yourself.
3. Most of you are ignorant d..bags. You are l....sers anyway.

@z1 Nepotism, power and cultural dissolution. Not just Sabre...

@z2 It looks like you do not know Coforge. They are ruthless in cutting off people, if the margins do not align. In October they let go two very senior resources , so the Coforge Sabre delivery leadership could show few dollars of margin improvement to their bosses. Delivery leadership is not looking for quality. Have we seen any one in the Coforge team whom you could say as innovative, intelligent, smart, aggressive and dedicated with vision and strength to achieve the offload in time?. Have we seen any breakthrough ideas as it has been almost an year since engagement started?. You will see two classes of people in Coforge. Class 1 - Project leadership, who has no clue on the complexity, but busy with spinning numbers that shows every thing is green and massaging the egos of our super egoistical leaders. Class 2 - The disillusioned team on the ground who knows nothing is going to change and in two years time, it will be the same. There may be job postings for Southlake, but check what is the remuneration. They are always looking for cheap resources . Soon you will notice that the rebadged VP, Senior Director, Director positions will be let go, or forced to go as these roles are expensive to Coforge and they do not want leaders. The project leadership is not interested in making the project a success, but only making sure they stay safe. So like any one else, then will find excuses for delay in delivery, and cut the people as it is the most easiest path. You cannot solve a problem with same caliber people who created it it in the first place. You need better caliber people. But Coforge seems to think they can crack this with cheap resources in India and in US. This itself is fundamentally wrong.

What is Sabre's strategy?

Isn't Sabre's biggest customer still AA? With US and Uruguay staff being eliminated will Poland and India staff be working US Central business hours to serve AA and other AMER customers next year? That will be fun for them...

@mv much better off working for Coforge. Coforge staff generate revenue while Sabre staff are only a cost. If Coforge wants to increase profit, they increase staff to increase revenue. If Sabre wants to increase profit, they reduce staff to reduce costs.

I never did understand why Sabre hired cheap people in foreign countries and then moved them to the US so they could pay them 3x more just to do the exact same job they were doing originally offshore. Sounds like a lot of those people will be laid off soon so that wasn't money very well spent.

@OP it is coming. CoForge is starting to post jobs in Southlake again. Sr Delivery Manager.

@bd Over time, US Engineering will become close to 0 by 2030 and will be very small going forward. I too believe US layoffs will occur between Q1 and Q2. If you put 2 and 2 together, why do you think they are moving to a smaller office?

KE is a cost-cutting guy, not an investment guy and that permeates through his leadership chain.

So much for a US Technology company which will have no technology people left in the US.

About 600

GW's FOMO is causing this FAFO. The FA are all the 2026 layoffs. The FO will be the 2027 bankruptcy.

@bd GPD is?

@OP From what I am hearing a very significant percentage of GPD folks in the US will be let go by Q2 next year. Possibly in a few iterations.
