Not happening, same thing in 2019. Bloodbath; Any role that's decent would have been earmarked early. This entire exercise is a show of solidarity that we are in this together BS. If you don't have a godfather or not earmarked for a role; count yourself out
As I recall, it was 70% of the 8K through voluntary package or re-skilled, not 70% re-skilled. I suspect most if not all of the 8k is voluntary or layoffs, not re-skilled.
Yes, there’ll be plenty of roles available - if you’re happy to plummet back to a T2-1 role and be based in India or Eastern Europe.
I wouldn’t believe a word that our petulant CEO and his sycophantic board says. This is just more BS designed to placate us and it isn’t real. Same goes for applying for other positions: They just don’t exist in the numbers needed to meet the BS percentage that CK spewed out at the All-Hands meeting in January.
reskilling can also mean providing a credit for a linkedin learning subscription
What do they consider 'reskilling'?
At Concur in the UK, are some teams affected more than others? Are they hitting sales, implementation at all?
So in the UK, concur is being disproportionately effected compared to sap proper
You are absolutely right.
@1aov+1rJ81okg It is very, very quiet. Most that I work with don’t seem too concerned and think that they’ll be safe. I see (on Linkedin) that there were a number of SAP people attending Fusion last week.
Why, I don’t know, but it was strange.
Fusion is being renamed renamed The Etosha Thurman Roadshow for ‘ 25 and beyond.
It’s deadly quiet in Concur right now.
Last year majority of the reductions came from BTP and S4, i wonder if the bulk of this years reduction will be from LoBs like fieldglass or concur! Do we even sell callidus anymore?
Executive coaches for board members? Put them on PIP instead.
I heard that they are going to hire executive coaches for the board members. This will be significant investment, requiring a considerable number of new positions.
It is a heavy workload requirement to transform clowns into executives.
They say that for every layoff for decades. It's never true. It's just to make people feel better.
No, it's a total fabrication. They will rehire in cheap, low quality of life countries people to fulfil the roles. This is entirely about pumping the stock price but artificially boosting profitability until it falls over, but ck will have dumped all his stock by then
Sounds like this is either BS or another way to say offfshoring to lower cost locations.
