I'm on vacation and have no idea how's many (if any) of my corp comm team has been impacted. Any intel?
Sabre Layoff reported @StarTelegram Newspaper (major newspaper in cities near HQ)
http://www.star-telegram.com/news/business/aviation/sky-talk-blog/article164723132.html I wonder if the guy in the pic is still safe.
How many total and what teams/areas in US?
Does anyone know how many total and what teams? Did they walk people out immediately or give them notice? I am on vacation, I didn't get a call so I assume I'm safe, but I kind of want to prepare. I did hear a lot of delivery BA's in Airline. Not... — read more
Risk Averse and no propensity to innovate
Sabre has always been a reactionary company with no appetite for being proactive because that would been taking risks. Always playing catch up to Amadeus and to what Airlines want. The only reason for its survival this long has been the monopolistic... — read more
Is this wave of layoffs now officially over?
This was brutal. So sorry for all the people who lost their jobs, I truly hope you land on your feet and find a better company than Sabre that actually cares about its employees. Do we know if this was it for this wave (I am positive more waves will... — read more
Sabre will survive
Dark times - yes. But Sabre will survive. For those that have been around you know this business is cyclical. Yes, it's down now, but we've been there before. To those laid off - good luck.
Avoided WARN... Nice one!!
Transparency at Sabre doesn't exist at all especially in Airlines Dilusions. But today's purge of 9% is so fecking obvious! My money on another purge in 90 days exactly. Another 9% or whatever to skirt WARN. Execs at Sabre are just slimes and HR is a... — read more
Criteria- Personal vengence
So the criteria is personal vengence - which city you belong to, what religion you follow.. If they don't like you are on the list. Next is how high is your salary... And how much you show your visibility. In the end comes your work performance. So... — read more
It's Me Again
To all the folks laid off... I'm very sorry. I know it hurts, it s---s, and it feels very unfair. Sabre is a company hanging on by its fingernails. It's not in a healthy state and hasn't been for a very long time. Due to its incapable upper... — read more
MVD Layoff is OVER. For now?
Meeting with leadership and some analysts from MVD Airline Solutions was held once it was confirmed that the "actions" had concluded. It was mentioned that the company is doing "fine" but these were "actions" that needed to be completed to avoid any... — read more
How do they execute layoffs?
Call? Conference with HR? How does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? Do they call you in a conference room? If yes, who is there? What do they tell you? How long does it take???
Has this batch of Layoffs completed.
Would the continue for a few days or are we done for now.?
Go Give a Glassdoor Review
Let's all take a few minutes to give very honest Glassdoor reviews. Potentials can be scared off by the truth. HR is in a practice of boosting reviews with fake reviews. We all know this company is more like a 2.0 with 30% CEO approval ratings.
Sabre Airline Solutions: Krakow, Bangalore, DFW, and Montevideo
There were layoffs in Krakow, Bangalore, DFW, and Montevideo office today. It seems Airline Solution personnel were impacted the most. :-(
Positive note for those that were laid off today!
After working at Sabre, you can work anywhere! Sabre is a fast-paced unorganized company! The stress level on a scale from 1-10 at Sabre is a “10”. At Sabre every departments works in a silo and are insulated from other departments. What does this... — read more
So, how can Sabre successfully move forward under this sort of leadership?
The answer is it cannot, unless Qualcomm senior executives are disposed of, top to bottom. The likelihood of that happening is marginal, unfortunately, so it behooves one to seek other employment. Working a deadend job is one thing, but I cannot... — read more

The real shame is that although some useless waste of space people will be kicked out finally so will many useful contributors. They will get caught up in this too, they always are. Then some more of the best people will quit soon after. There will... — read more

While people keep posting about layoffs at various Sabre locations, it seems they are rather sporadic, and mostly one or two people impacted per location. Am I getting this wrong? If anybody has any info on the number of affected people, please post... — read more

Leaders assured that we are safe
In SSPD many generous leaders assured their team that we are not gonna affect this time. May be because we have been already hit in January and now have minimal people in every team. But in this situation we cannot be very sure. You never know what... — read more
Do not sign off any HR doc in MVD
To all Mvd, if you are laid off the next 31, do not sign off any document from HR. Stand firm and ask for a copy of that doc saying you want to check first with your lawyer and the labor office, it is part of your labor rights. Seems HR is trying to... — read more

Boeing buying Sabre?
There are rumours that boeing is buying Sabre, the reason there is a house clean up going on. Anyone heard of this deal?
AS MVD could use some cleaning
AS, most specifically SabreSonic could use some cleaning at MVD. Manager AD and director MT are about the most poor desicion making and unprofessional managers ever seen. You get "The office" vibes when on meetings with them. Hopefully the affected... — read more
