@sh
The word you are looking for is "izzat", and it perfectly explains the behavior you describe.
We moved a lot of roles to Pune. It’s a mess. The hiring filters there seem to be predicated on who is friends/family with the hiring manager. Absolute incompetence is the standard in that office.
Our id--t leaders seem to think cost cutting is actually a business strategy.
@qz Hire more… in Pune.
All hiring, to include currently posted positions, are being reevaluated and either moved to Pune, or closed all together.
That’s assuming it wasn’t already a ghost job to give the impression they’re growing.
@ra Yes… likely… but from what I hear it is more like pushing 1000’s of buttons, and I hear even then it doesn’t work. Don’t fix the problem though… just put the cost from the layoffs there… will help navigate to 2027 goal.
Heard all the cost savings are going into hosting so they can hire more. They work the hardest
Isn't deployment into the cloud just a button push?
Heard all the cost savings are going into hosting so they can hire more. They work the hardest so makes sense.
@q7 funny thing, I once did and they said no. 🤪
@ak call HR they’ll help you
If the statements here are true this seems like a medium layoff by SAS standards. Sounds like devs are safe this round…unless it’s continuing?
@fe small cabal in risk division flies around endlessly while the rest get told there is no budget for travel. Its the worst kind of politics.
Risk and Fraud division laid off dozens including most of the risk presales teams in the americas and asia pacific. Some senior deep subject matter experts got let go. The people who give credibility to the company
@fe I’m sure those in Marketing can justify it but I’ve always thought crowing about trips to Cannes is tone deaf at best. Especially at a time when profits are razor thin. Is this how we control costs?? Can anyone point to a true benefit to SAS? Does it get the SAS name out there? Maybe. It sure is great exposure for the executive(s) who have attended but I don’t see much value beyond that.
@fb I know of at least 1 director and 2 mgr in edu that were let go.
Mostly delivery team... but 1 from cert, 1 from solutions, 1 from stat group.
More than 400 laid off in EMEA this week and potentially more to come.

@jj Hopefully R&D, I want my Labradoodle.
"EDU can't seem to miss a round of layoffs"
It's an unfortunate by-product of the increasing lack of demand for SAS software. Hate to see the decline, as SAS was such a great company to work for back in the day.
Hopefully PSD
layoffs happened all around the world this week, sad to see so many valuable people go
@fb I know of 2 managers in EDU laid off this week.
EDU can't seem to miss a round of layoffs
The travels of a secret love child?
The beatings will continue until morale improves,
Now enough about these unpleasantries. Who else is going to Cannes? And Paris and Milan and Liverpool and ... oh, is it just me and my besties? Whoops. Pardon my frequent flier miles, but how else can I take my fam on vacation several times a year? These are times of austerity you know. One must watch one's euros.
Multiple managers in edu
I’m not hearing of any managers or directors that got let go. Seems like it was all individual contributors.
A few folks from the Tech Support division got hit
@ee this thread this could all be BS, watch this:
292 in r&d let go, but severance included a puppy.
Is Legs still there in EDU?
Anyone know what groups were hit in EDU?
Was this all on Tuesday 6/16 or does it continue?
at least a handful in tech support
20 from Education
None released from the Art Department, which is safe.
At least 5 confirmed from legal at cary hq gone today.
And it continues.. 7 others let go in Asia Pacific.
I’d happily trade places with any of them.
