Thread regarding SAP layoffs

Julia White accepts a new job at Amazon Web Services. Gets 5-day RTO treatment.

"Today, I started my next chapter with my first Day One of many to come. I’m thrilled to share that I have joined Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer. It's an honor to join this remarkable team and business.

I can't wait to attend re:Invent in a few short days to meet and learn from our customers and partners, along with lots of the AWS team. I look forward to seeing many of you there!" - Julia White, LinkedIn post.

She is joining a company where her kind belongs. Besides the Peeps food post and the potential poaching of Ada Agrait. Let's hope she doesn't "infuse" some catastrophic Product Marketing transformation at AWS, leading to her unfortunate and untimely move towards her "next opportunity".

So nobody here has anything good to say about Julia (with SAP)? I disagree, but I won't bicker with you. Most colleagues I know at SAP feel she was a loss, and we value the time she spent with SAP.

Comment deleted for saying she records vids rather than stands up to present? Very odd, its a fact.

Julia White is the kind of person who will put on an "infused" smile and get oh-so excited whenever someone feeds her a cookie. And people will like her silly social media posts, which easily rack up more than 500 likes. Shows how many clowns still support this wrecking ball. SAP is never the same ever again because of her.

Now she can get in an Amazon car and start delivering my package, 5 days a week! What an embarrassment to women in tech.

I second that her leadership style was pretty awful. I’m absolute not going to trust that much synthetic charisma in a leader. It felt like there was a strategy shift twice a year and I was pulled into one too many meetings explaining SAP to one of her old Microsoft gang she was regularly hiring. I’m proudly one of those dirty liberal progressives, but her approach to DEI offended me when she took it to the point of mentioning her family regularly in all-hands meetings and on LinkedIn. Mixed with her style, it seemed opportunistic and disingenuous move to seem “with it” and hip to the national conversation.

Everytime she spoke at SAP she seemed overly excited about the most boring things. It seemed disingenuous. I thought she was really faking her "excitement" and it showed. Why do execs feel they need to do this when it is so apparent to everyone?

If she couldn't survive at SAP, AWS will chew and sp-t her out. She's not going to get away with her BS over there. I'm giving her a 1.5 years before AWS parts ways with her and pays out her contract.

I interpret this as a form of karma and punishment for messing with SAP's internal processes, way of work and technical departments.

Nevertheless, AWS use to be a prestigious tech firm to work at among graduates. Now it is a glorified IT sweatshop where all the good people leave and take their customer contacts with them. Same goes with the other companies who choose to sell themselves as a pre-pandemic, good old fashioned, hipster and family-friendly, 5-day RTO "Great Place To Work" marble-tiled, glass holed cubicle that has a progressive work culture and a culture of innovation. Filled with censored, dissatisfied employees who are told to leave if they don't like it there.

Just watch the AWS share price tank. And any other company who decides to copycat this nonsense of warming more office seats from Monday to Friday, 9-5 PM.

Now, back to applying for jobs that don't exist and dealing with disguised layoffs.
