In many discussions with the Betriebsrat, the executive board noted that they won’t push for layoffs in 2026 as long as the share price is above €150. With the global economy crashing and SAP reducing innovation and its core business to curry favor with American CEOs, the share price will go below €150 in March or April.
I wonder if this means that CK and DA and Gina and others can enact their evil plan of mass layoffs. Because the gains from AI are so dismal, they’ll probably outsource most jobs to other countries such as India.
When do you think these layoffs are coming and in which LOBs and for which roles? My guess is that HR wants to get rid of support engineers and product managers first across most LOBs. And that they will focus on anyone who hasn’t been with SAP for at least ten years as anyone over ten years are seen as loyal. So bye bye acquisition employees.
