People are looking for new jobs in dfw because their old ones are being eliminated in the US. Offshoring or upcoming layoff?
Sabre salary do not keep up with inflation
My salary is 8% more than 5 years ago. Inflation has been reported around 20% over this period, but food and rent increase were way above this. We used to complain about below-market salaries, but now our salary do not even keep up with the living... — read more
Sabre promotion cycle
When is Sabre Promotion cycle, if any.
Looks like there is nothing to add...
Or maybe everyone left?
10 Million $ Man
After selling 20,000 shares of Sabre stock on Tues, Aug 16, 2022, CEO now directly owns 1,257,888 shares of the company’s stock, valued at approximately $10,075,682.88. wtf?
These are no leaders
I would call them "leaders" if they had any good leadership qualities, however, my opinion is that they don't, and that's why for me they are simply "those at the top". What would real leaders do? They would certainly not allow the employees to... — read more
Layoffs July 31
Massive layoffs at Sabre - directors, VPs and up - July 2022. 3 EVPss were let go including someone who knew nothing about the Sabre Products- Wade, who was Chief Product Officer. Absence of innovation and introduction of new products contributes... — read more
Job posting pending approval for several months
Need a immediate position to backfill . Position has been requested but still not approved for several months . Anyone knows how long will it take to be approved if at all it will be.
Cuts before the end of this month
Is it true there will be cuts before the end of July?
Any boomerang employees here
Any one left sabre and came back? Could you share your experience. I don’t want to end up in a bad place than Sabre after quitting.
If the layoffs come
So many of us have gotten out and work at great companies across the world. We are better off and you will be too. Good luck!
Not so innovative company
I would like Sabre to be a truly innovative company. But, in my opinion, it is far from being so. Where has the drive for innovation gone?
Our management should be more transparent
I hate having to guess about layoffs and then be caught off guard when it happens. Why can't they announce in advance there'll be layoffs so that everybody can prepare for the possibility? Every time we have to hear about it a day or two in advance... — read more
Salary raises and inflation
Polish zloty lost its value to US dollar by 17% y/y. Polish CPI inflation: 12.3%. Any raise below 12.3% can be considered a pay cut. Polish job market is hot and competitive right now.
Layoffs are coming
Sabre is heavily in debt from the pandemic. They had to borrow some money to keep them float for few years. That is coming due very soon. The easiest and fastest way to paid it off would be layoff. Unless they can get it all refinance. This is... — read more
Wrong approach
With attrition as high as it is, you'd think that upper management would be working on finding ways to keep some of the best people around. Instead, they seem happy to be getting rid of older and most experienced employees without having to pay them... — read more
Layoffs???
Do you expect we'll have layoffs soon??? If the answer is yes, how big and when?
Growing a skillset
I am of the opinion that an individual alone is responsible for growing his or her skillset, and that a company can in no way prevent someone from doing that. However, there are companies that have a much more stimulating environment in that sense... — read more
Horrible work culture
And it's getting worse by the day. When I started here four years ago it was not ideal but it was barrable. Fast forward to today and I'm desperately trying to find a way out. I want to work where cooperation is encouraged instead of competition. I'm... — read more
We need another "Best Employers" Survey
And that will help with many things, right?
Recognize your loyal employees!!!
I quit Sabre early this year. I have been working at Sabre for more than 15 years. I really loved working here and the people here. I even put up with several layoffs, past 2 years of pandemic, over worked , taking up additional responsibilities... — read more
Any rumors on layoffs?
Does anyone here have any rumor about layoffs?
Opportunity to grow
I have been here for more than three years and I am not satisfied. I expected a lot more and that during this time I would make much more progress in my career. I plan to leave soon, but I still keep wondering whether it was just me or did others... — read more
Hiring for wrong areas
I know for a fact that Sabre is currently hiring so I can't understand why our team is still heavily understaffed. We're desperate for help and we've made this abundantly clear. We have communicated to our manager several times that if we don't get... — read more
Sabre and Amadeus can damage Russia.
Source below. In the aviation sector sanctions against Russia have been varied and include restrictions on aircraft leasing and critical spare parts, although I don’t have a good idea of their impact so far. It's interesting to note that the top 5... — read more
Why all this talk about Sabre?
One interesting thing I noticed (and which I believe is very telling) is that there are more comments on this website about Sabre than about its competitors. (The last entries for Amadeus and Travelport were in 2020). Is it because Sabre employees... — read more
Others are paid to think about it
I have noticed that we care too much about this company and I think it is completely unnecessary. I am no longer interested in the leadership moves or the future of this company. Those at the top are paid to think about it, not me. Why, for... — read more
Talent keeps leaving
No desperate attempts to keep them here are working. Everybody is seeing the writing on the wall and trying to separate themselves from this place before it's too late. It's kind of fun to watch the upper management panic as they're unable to slow... — read more
HR Reorg Long Overdue
The HR function has no business providing reorg advice to other business units with the mess in their own house. There is no need for an SVP-level position, period! All of the Senior Directors should be demoted to Director-level and corresponding... — read more
Stagnation over the years
What I resent the most about the leadership of this company is that it has allowed Sabre to stagnate over the years and that the company is not changing enough according to new customer needs. That is my personal opinion. If there were more... — read more
Employee Survey
Clearly, someone peed in the talent pool. After 2 years of Covid, headcount reductions, people doing the work of 3-4 people, sell of AirCentre, and loss of major airline customers, some ID10T thinks it’s time for an employee survey. This will... — read more
I miss the old Sabre
I miss Sabre that valued employees according to their merits. Now it is quite sad to watch new employees trying to give their best only until they realize that this is no longer the most important thing here. Perhaps I idealize the past times a... — read more
Headcount
I am curious, did the headcount really grow by almost 2000 people to just under 12000 and if so, where? All I have seen is attrition, not an increased headcount.
Headcount freeze
Hey. When is the headcount freeze before salary raises? 😁
>11.5 k employees
OMG. Sabre is not making enough money but they have more employees then pre pandemic levels. If you can not be lean during trying times that means you don’t have scalability in built in your DNA. Wake up leadership, see if a manger have only 5 ppl... — read more
How many of your colleagues have left?
(in the last 2-3 months?) To me this seems rather worrying, as more of my colleagues have left in the past few months than in the last few years. This company is sinking very fast.
